The Obsidian Archives
Greetings curator. I am Samuel Wilkinson. Welcome to the Obsidian Archives. This is an Animatic / Audio Drama, about the birth of an evil empire and the secrets they keep between the texts of their tomes. We are at a point in development where we can open roles to the public to help this indie story project come alive. If you want an easier time understanding this project, I recommend you take a look at our Pitch Bible & YouTube Channel.

What is it about?
Effectively this is a dark high fantasy following a down trodden Prince and his Imp colleague. They go through the trials and tribulations of Kingdom making amongst a divided people and the atrocities that come with it. Effectively a tale of betrayal and vengeance; with a hint of sarcasm.
Voice Roles Wanted!
Currently we are now working on analog horror vids to add variety to the mythos. We need Victorian era voices from around the world.
What we will need is people capable of creating either
Doctors with German accents
Soldiers with thug like voices
TV personalities with New York accents
The formats should be uploaded as WAV and 48khz or higher. Processing is optional.
*Rates are to be negotiated between the VA and Director. Any prices written on the roles are not final but very rough estimates. Icons are just used to cover archetypes and are not final character designs.
Artists
So this is one of the most important roles for the production. There are two kinds of artist roles.
Animatic Slide Artists will create rough black and white grayscale images in bulk. The work will be delivered in PSD format so the director can color in the work to maximize quality. The rates are to be negotiated.
Emblem / Painting Artists are tasked with creating grandiose paintings that signify turning points within the history of Obsidia capturing the holy biblical scale of the events that unfold.
What to expect?
Once selected you will be greeted by myself in discord and interviewed on job brief and price negotiations. You will also be invited to the project discord to meet other people working on the project.
Deadlines are lax but there might be moments in production where the director may check up on you and see progress.
A nasally female secretary working for a shady ceo.
A Mr. Spicer, here to see you.
He wants to speak with you right now.
What do I tell him?

Ah foolish little natasha. No one is coming to save you.

I am but a mere doll, serving her master.
Morgana wishes to speak with you.
You are a vile knight who desecrates the corpse of the enemy king in front of his subjects. Very mean and showboaty. Think house Bolton from game of thrones.

The other students have left, but reassured I have all the time in the world for someone as bright as you.
