White Noise - Episode One [A HALO Machinima Series]
Project Overview
White Noise is a multi-perspective hero-lite story based in the ironically named city of New Paradise, the story itself is rather serious, with characters who each have unique personalities and motives for their actions. Albeit they can be quite a cliche. The series aims to be satirical and pokes fun at itself from time to time. This does not mean we intend to make a bad production, rather make something that doesn’t take itself too seriously. For narrative comparison, think of Agents of Mayhem and Grand Theft Auto V.
The casting call is only going to be for episode one, although there are recurring characters throughout the series.

Latest Updates
-
Just to inform everyone, White Noise has been taken in a slightly new direction after some discussion. Don't worry, the characters personalities are for the most part the same, but the story will be slightly altered to fit a new narrative. Due to the enormous and surprising amount of auditions, the character audition lines and information will remain the same on here. Once whoever is cast for the role(s), they will be informed of any changes to the character. We are also currently working on a prologue to White Noise aptly titled White and it will chronologically be the first to take place in the world of White Noise. Every character except for [UNKOWN] will be in the prologue. Once again, thanks to all who have auditioned and have shared an interest in this project!
