The Bigger Picture - Original Animated Web-Series (First Call)

The Bigger Picture - Original Animated Web-Series (First Call)

Project Overview

The Bigger Picture is an original animated web-series created by a team of individuals looking to create a story for people to enjoy. With a team of 10 people (as of the creation of this call), we hope to create a genuinely fun experience for both the viewers and the team behind the project, with everyone having a say in every aspect of the show. Fun is prioritized. 

There is no guarantee that you will be payed. It's a no-budget project, because we're doing it for fun. However, if, in the future, money is somehow made from the project, I will certainly pay you.

The story is focused around the concept of a multiverse. There are a lot of worlds, each based off of a genre of story. For example, there's a black and white noir world, a medieval fantasy world, a Sci-Fi world, etc. A ragtag group of people with powers from multiple worlds come together when the multiverse opens up, causing chaos throughout the entire multiverse. No one knows why the multiverse opened, or who opened it, but before they can figure that out, they have to figure out how to work together first, while dealing with an evil government hoping to create a super powerful super soldier using various powers. The main characters are a Marker employee (Marker being a fictional retail store based off of Target), a cyborg, a shapeshifting slime, an elf with electric powers and a mafia boss who turned good(?), with a diverse and ridiculous cast of side characters.

Currently, we are doing the first call for VOICE ACTORS. See the voice list for more information.


Before auditioning, please consider the following:

-The commitment is rather big. Even though I am not a strict director by any means, and will do whatever it takes to make your time helping fun, this is a big project, and will likely last multiple years. Plus, since this is the first call, the project will likely be slow in production for a while.

-You have to be respectful. No questions asked. I will not tolerate toxicity.

-I don't have strict age requirements, but because our work will be done mostly on discord, you have to be at least 13 years old.

Latest Updates

  • Thank You!

    Hello! Deadline's here! Thank you so much to everyone who auditioned! I will be casting Dr. Mort soon, it's a very difficult choice though! There are so many great auditions. If you aren't cast, don't lose hope! I'll definitely keep a list of voice actors who auditioned that I really like, and I'll contact people from that list for future roles. Thank you so much for auditioning, this went way farther than I thought it would! <3 I have more calls for other crew roles...soon. Eventually. Stay tuned!
  • Early Casting! So sorry!

    Hey everyone. Thank you so much for auditioning so far, all of your auditions have been incredible! Unfortunately, I had to cast Victor, Dr. Mecha and Dr. Mort early despite me saying I wouldn't. This is because I'm a complete idiot, and I'm very sorry for that. I didn't realize the time, and I wanted time for Dr. Mort and Isabella to be the only roles so we have more choices. If you didn't make it, try auditioning for Dr. Mort or Isabella! I might also contact you individually for other smaller roles, so you definitely aren't out of the project by any means.
  • Casting Clarifications + More Characters

    Thank you so much to everyone who has auditioned for the Bigger Picture so far! It's been a blast to listen to each and every one of your auditions, and hearing your creative takes on the characters. I love them all. So, quick update regarding how casting is going to work. I won't cast ANYONE before *A* deadline (which is separate from the listed deadline, and there's a reason for that). I want to give time for people to audition, you know how it is. But the moment the deadline hits, the voices will be chosen. The deadline for the three characters "Victor", "Alphonse" and "Dr. Mecha" is February 1st 2022 So why does the listing say June 2022? Well, I will actually be updating the call to include more characters either tonight or within the next few days, because I realized it's more efficient to get some characters done in the first call that I didn't think about when I first opened this up. This was a bit of a change of plans, and I apologize for that. If you have any objections to this, please let me know. Thank you again, everyone. Good luck!

Victor
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Tristan Jimenez

Hardworking, mysterious, a bit egotistical, but still having a good heart, Victor is a cyborg from a Sci-Fi world who has one goal, and one goal only, to create a team of powerful people to take down something that is a threat to the multiverse.

  • (Ominous) Your freedom's gone now, Tom. Good luck.

  • (Snarky, joking around but also trying to prove a point.) So, remind me, since when were people with gas masks *ever* trustworthy?

  • (Trying to get the attention of Tom, another character, while also dealing with security.) Tom! Hey, Tom! Tom, over here! Look! Hey, back off- no, I'm a student! Look at me! I am a student who goes to this school! God dammit.

Alphonse

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Dillionaire

Manipulative, secretive, lacking a moral compass, but overall fights for the good side (at least after a while, not at first). Alphonse is a stereotypical mobster, intentionally designed to be almost "ripped" out of old 20s or 30s crime films, so he can react to the ridiculousness of the multiverse.

  • (Mocking) Ey, Victor, you're a bit slow, ya need an oil change?

  • (Also Mocking) Ey Victor, I think you've got a few screws loose up there!

  • (Assertive) I'm the boss 'round these parts. What do ya want?

Role assigned to: AscelinVA

Snarky, a bit crazy at times but not too crazy, sarcastic, has a strong moral compass, wants to make the world a better place. She's pretty much a genius and specializes in robotics and artificial intelligence.

  • (Talking to a robot she created) Hello. Can you hear me? Is this thing working?

  • (Positive attitude, working for someone and hoping to make them pleased with her work.) Don't worry, you can count on me! I'll create that AI in no time!

  • (Sarcastically quipping to her enemies) Sorry, Dr. Mecha isn't able to answer the phone right now! She's probably away or something, so, y'know, never call this number again! Oh, and don't mind the AI. I definitely didn't steal it from you.

Role assigned to: vibripple

Cocky, sarcastic, trying really hard to be the cliche/stereotypical "rival" character, only to be defeated with ease by Tom everytime. (Used to work with Tom at the Marker)


  • (sarcastically, jokingly) I hope you are wearing your pissing pants, because you are about to piss your pants. And I'm not cleaning it up.

  • (cocky, surprised) What? No, I'm your rival. I rival you. I do rival things. I say the word "rival" a lot. Or maybe I don't say it enough...?

  • (broken, in pain, emotional) Tom? Y- *cough* -You did this? Hah... I guess I wasn't playing the rival. I was playing the hero.

Role assigned to: L.J Aitken

Very insane, talks in a very over-the-top way, was driven insane by technology and the "end of the world" as predicted by technology. The main villain.

  • WOW! WOW! WOW! YOU ARE AS MURDEROUS AS I REMEMBER!

  • YOU KNOW WHO TO CALL! I'M ALWAYS ON YOUR SIDE! I'VE GOT YOUR BACK IN THE FIGURATIVE SENSE!

  • WOW, I DIDN'T EXPECT YOU TO MESS UP THAT BADLY! WELL, DON'T YOU WORRY, YOUR BEST DOCTOR WILL CURE YOU! ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS!
