Dirty Crestwood (Animatic Short Film) [CASTING ROUND 1]
Project Overview
- Hello friends! -
Thank you for checking out this project! Let me run down exactly what it's about. I wrote a story titled Dirty Crestwood about a year ago and for a while I didn't know how I would turn it into a form of content. Well I've finally decided to make an animatic-styled short film with voice acting and everything. I'm working on this project through my school, so I'll have some support with creating this movie altogether.
Plot RundownTo sum up this movie, it's about a town's local swimming pool, a very dirty lake called Crestwood. Little did the public know that there were unidentified parasitic creatures infesting the lake that had the ability to prevent a person from dying completely. A high school bully named Ar has notoriously tormented a boy named Lane for holding a very obvious and unhinged obsession towards Ar. One day Ar's teasing went too far and lead to Lane's unexpected drowning in Crestwood. Lane doesn't die, but remains alive, disfigured and zombie-like thanks to the parasites. Eventually Lane finds Ar and kills her, only to find out that she was infected with the parasite as well. The two zombies have a twisted relationship that is intervened by a new kid in town named Richard, who slowly realizes the reality of the situation, but as he gets tangled up in the issue, he risks not only his own, but his friend's lives.
What I need from YOU!Voice actors! That's it! So far I have one scene fully drawn, so this project will take a bit of time to finish. I need people who are willing to stay within contact reach to record lines when they are needed! I am willing to pay each voice actor 15 dollars for the project.
Additional InfoThis movie will be posted online when it's finished, so if you're not comfortable with your voice being posted for a public project, this movie isn't for you. Voice actors will be credited at the end of the movie.

(Lane Addison is a male character, but I would personally prefer a female voice him, as it fits him better to have a higher voice.)
Lane the main antagonist of the movie. He is a 17 year old junior in high school, who suffers from Intermittent Explosive Disorder, which is a result for his terrible anger issues. He has a crippling obsession with his bully. He's quiet and passive as a human for the most part, but after he "dies" he loses his sanity and his anger issues worsen.
His voice sounds raspy and deep, comparable to Miles "Tails" Prower from Sonic but without the goofy cartooniness of it, more menacing.

(Human) (Optimistic) Well I love swimming, it was always my favorite part of summer. I'm gonna spend most of it at the pool!
(Dead) (Insane and Angry) Go on Ar, call me those names you used to call me.
(Dead) (Insane, Angry and Scared) I'M NOT GOING BACK IN THAT WATER!
Wonder is a protagonist and a good pal of Ar's from school. They are usually an extremely worrisome person. When they are around Ar, they are very confident and hyper.
Their voice has a positive aura to it, not super soft but very friendly sounding.

(Teasingly) Lane literally swims in the most disgusting lake probably any of us have ever seen.
(Anxious) Yeah I was positive I got ghosted by her until you mentioned that she was considered missing.
(Sad) She stopped texting me in August and I haven't seen her in school this year, I miss her.
Mr. Radio is a minor character that only appears in the first scene, he's a very outgoing and positive teacher, but is quick to discipline if needed.
His voice is chipper and on the higher side of the male voice spectrum.

(Angry) Hey! Cut that out, we don't want that in here.
(Cheery) Alright! Last 15 minutes of the year! I know all of you are antsy to get out of here but how about a little icebreaker before summer?
(Cheery) Alright Lane! Start us off!
