Artifact Escape: Episode 1 (Animated Series)
Project Overview
Introduction
Greetings, we're a new studio aiming to create thought-provoking and entertaining content. We intend on finding great artists & actors/actresses that we can work with on a recurring basis that support the idea of exploring different concepts & philosophies. Currently, we're predominantly interested in 3D-animated action-based content but intend on exploring 2D-animation in the future. This casting call is primarily focused on voice-acting talent. However, if you find our vision and ideas compelling, we are open to recruiting more animators & artists.
Setting Info
The story takes place between Earth & a foreign planet known as Shojirra. One of the most prominent research & tech companies discovered Shojirra & are offering their investors new technologies excavated from this world. In the process of harnessing & refining these new technologies, they realized the process was more costly than they initially projected. Realizing that the once abundant investment capital had quickly become insufficient, they decided to hire youth. Artifact-Escape is a program that recruits youthful prodigies in varying fields and offers them an escape from their real-world issues. These young prodigies are known as escapists. The escapists assist in varying tasks ranging from collecting resources to managing the ecosystems. While many staff and investors were initially skeptical of the proposed idea, the escapists have surpassed expectations.
