Star-Forger: The Series
Premise: After being nearly erased from existence, Scott Stone, a teenager, uses a high-tech alien super-weapon known as the Star-Forger Device to become Star-Forger, battling threats both from home and other planets.
The series takes heavy influences from superhero cartoons of the early-mid 2000s like Ben 10, Danny Phantom and The Spectacular Spider-Man.
My main goal with this project is to create a 1-2 minute fully voiced animatic, adapting a fight scene from the pilot episode.
Examples for what the final product might look like:

This animatic will serve as a pitch for the whole series and be an important stepping stone to eventually animating the entire Pilot episode.
Why should you join?
I've been working on this series for over 6 years now and have written out full-length episode screenplays for 2 full seasons already. In addition, I've developed numerous scripts for other series set in the same universe.
I've invested so much time and energy into this universe that I'm absolutely determined to make this into a real show. I've seen so many projects like this fall apart because they bite off more than they can chew at the start, or the creator just gives up and loses interest.
Starting with just 1 scene ensures that we will get something out there no matter what. This show isn't just another project for me, it's my dream that I've been working on it since I was a kid, so there is ZERO chance of me giving up on it. I'm in this for the long haul.
By joining, you'll also gain access to a community of talented and equally passionate people, and be considered for all of Meteor Tide Studios's future projects. You'll get access to future opportunities you might never come across otherwise. You'll see your name in the credits of something real and build your portfolio.
This is a volunteer-based project. There's potential for monetary compensation down the line if the series gains significant success. But don't go in with this expectation. If you join, it should be because you're genuinely excited or want to gain experience working on an animated series.
Scope and Future Plans
As mentioned before, this animatic will be focusing on one fight scene from the Pilot episode. Depending on how it goes, we'll start animating other scenes from the pilot, and eventually finish the entire pilot episode, which is estimated to be 30 minutes. But this is far in the future. Right now, we're just focusing on this one scene which will be released on YouTube.
Star-Forger will also serve as the launching pad for the Meteor Tide Universe, a shared universe akin to Marvel or DC. There aren't vague plans; future series in the Meteor Tide Universe have already been written out down to each line of dialogue. There is a very real chance that you could become part of the next big indie animation series by jumping in now.
The project will be coordinated on Discord. If you are selected, I'll send you an invite.
If there are any questions, feel free to send me a message!
For Voice Actors: Audition for a role even if you think you won't get it. You'll be considered for future roles or other roles in the pilot that aren't listed here, that might be a great fit for you.
