[PAID] "NOTES" Original Animated Student Thesis Film [MUSIC COMPOSER WANTED!!]

Project Overview

"NOTES" is a short, animated graduation thesis film that will be produced at California State University Long Beach and completed in the Fall semester of 2022. Since this is a school assignment, the project will be competed regardless if the position is filled. The video linked above is the old rough animatic of the full short that will be changed during official production.

SYNOPSIS

Elementary school teacher Mrs. Helen enforces Silent Sustained Reading time (SSR) but the school children have their own plans and pass around a note of paper in class while evading Mrs. Helen's eye by jumping into the world of books!

The books the children will be jumping into are: "The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Cat in the Hat, Where the Wild Things Are, Arthur, and Harry Potter." 

DETAILS OF POSITION

PAID POSITION! Prices are negotiable and I send out payments via PayPal in USD. Please audition with samples of your work as well as your rates! I'll be interested in music ranging from original work to fan covers of other kinds of music.

I'm looking for a music composer that can create an original music track for this 2-3 minute short film as well as instrumental excerpt covers of the "Arthur" PBS opening theme song, and "Hedwig's Theme." You do not need to create a cover of the full tracks, just a selected portion of each theme and creative liberties can be taken to spin into your own style, just so long as the melodies are recognizable to general audiences and that the tone fits the style of this film. Further direction and support will be given to the selected candidate.

This is a year-long production commitment! Preproduction of my school's graduation thesis films begins at that start of 2022 with projected completion at the end of 2022. If you are inexperienced with working in film productions, please understand that all assets (such as the music)  are subject to change until the very end! 

If you include additional charge for any sort of tweaking in your work, please put such information in your application! I wish to honor your terms! Thank you very much!

Once the film is completed, you will be given a proper film credit via the short's IMDb page which will be created after completion. From there, the film will be submitted to film festivals and circulate for 2 years.

Everyone is extremely talented and it was hard to make a final decision. I hope the future has many more opportunities for you musical endeavors! While this casting call has ended, I still post on CCC for other projects I'm helming so if you'd ever like to collaborate again, please keep an eye out for new opportunities. Thanks again so much!

  • Shortlist!

    By the time of this writing, this casting call for a music composer will have ended on Feb 1st, 2022. Thank you all again for your submissions! I will spend the first 2-3 weeks of February going through review, and if you receive a message it's a good sign you have made it to my shortlist. So please look out in your inboxes! After final consideration, I will post the final determination on CCC. Thank you all so much!

  • Deadline is Still February 1st!

    Hello everyone! If you got an email about this casting call closing on Jan 29th, please do not fret if you hadn't submitted! I have no idea why the casting call date changed, but the deadline is still February 1st! The module has been fixed accordingly. I apologize for the confusion, and thank you all for your submissions!

  • More Project Info & Director’s Introduction!

    Hello, everyone! Thank you so much for your consideration on “Notes!” In case you haven’t seen it, I’d like to share an album of the film’s character designs! The film will have this cutesy style at the beginning, but each time the school teacher and children jump into a book world, the art style and animation will change to match the world of the designated book. Meet Ms. Helen and her class of 9! https://i.imgur.com/ckPC5nr.jpg There have been an amazing amount of musicians applying to this casting call, both on CCC and offsite, and it’s getting harder and harder to think of a final decision with each passing day. I would like everyone who applied to know that each one of you are vastly talented! Thank you for sharing your amazing work! Since I’ve gotten to learn a lot about you, here’s a little bit about me: my name is Alysha Nunez, and I’m a film/animation student projected to graduate university in Fall of 2022. “Notes” is my graduation thesis film, and I wish to ensure that the quality of the project is high to finish my school career strong. Thank you for considering jumping at the end of my academic career with me! Samples of my animated work can be found following this link to my 2022 demo reel: https://youtu.be/oB7FjJqxFqU More samples of my completed work in-depth can be viewed here on my portfolio website: https://varyupon.wixsite.com/portfolio/animation For most of my past film work, I am the sole animator for each short film. “Notes” is no exception; I will be handling the entire animation pipeline solo for this school project. In terms of communication, I will be the only one you will need to converse with. I hope that will make it easier for applicants! Around the last week of January or close to the Feb 1st deadline, I’ll be in contact with those on a shortlist for final consideration. I will contact individuals saying they’re on the shortlist, and that is how you will know. So please check discord, CCC, or your emails for that! Thank you so much once again for your consideration! Please continue sharing your music with the world, and I wish the very best for every applicant!

  • Welcome to the "NOTES" Application!

    Hello everyone! Today marks the first day this application is open to all music composers looking to have their work in film/animation! Here's a little more about the project just in case: Follow the project on instagram! https://instagram.com/notes_shortfilm?utm_medium=copy_link Here's the character sheets of the school teacher and children!: https://imgur.com/oz0U0FB The deadline for all applications is FEBRUARY 1ST, 2022! Actual production of the music is not expected to start until the position has been filled, and the position is a year-long commitment as the film is not expected to wrap until Fall of 2022! The animation production will be executed in the style of Disney/Western animation productions, where the animation is created concurrently around the music in hopes of allowing a bit of creative freedom for the composer as well as a space for constant collaboration. This is a less rigid method in comparison to providing a strict animatic to score to. If this sounds more like your style, please apply! Thank you once again for all that provide interest in the project, and I hope to listen to all the great tunes you have! Cheers!
