Chrono Movies: Fleabane Trilogy

[tushantin]

The plot sketch is complete! For those who are curious to know about the story, PM me and I'll send you guys the static document of the sketch.

Me! me!

Here's my audition for Lilith, but you can use me for any character if you think i'm good

[tushantin]

Nice! You've got the emotion alright, but it's not loud or convincing enough. I have no doubt you'll be able to pull it of fine though. We're still in the midst of debate whether to have Adult Lilith's voice in the movie or let Lilith be a child till the end. But you can try out for Gladus or Matilda until then.

I've finished a Cedric Guardia artwork. Dapifer, I think you might need it most to see if you can match the voice based on his features.

Alright, Will do - and i'll be louder when I try out for them haha

Cedric looks amazing! He looks so kick ass!

[Dapifer]

I think the voice I used in the audition fits well, but you tell me what you need and I will shape it up to suit your directions.

[tushantin]

@Dapifer: I feel you've got it right. xD But you said you needed a picture to confirm it, so here ya go.

@TheMage: Try out Gladus since that's more of an urgent need.

[Dapifer]

@ Tushantin: Yes, it really helps. Seeing his face makes me wonder about his facial expressions, which in turn helps my with the inflection and tone. I think the voice I had in mind suits him, of course there's always room for improvement.

@TheMage: Your audition was superb! I think Tushantin was going for a more high pitched, a little hyper, teasing seductress; which is common in Anime(I am only speculating, but that's my impression of Lilith). But you got the femme fatale voice nailed. It sounded completely natural, you are very good.

UPDATE! Still doing the background for scene one and I've animated a few frames on pencil. But here's a nice artwork of Ulfus.

Thanks Dapifer

Here's my audition for Gladus I can talk more girly or be louder or talk slower- just tell me and i'll adjust it as needed

[tushantin]

I really like the voice! I can say it's "almost" to Gladus's level but just not enough. Your style seems a little flat. Were you doing this at home with the other people in? If so that explains it.

A little emotion could go a long way. I want you to sound more confident and "majestic" (not the accent; the confidence/emotion majestic). It could come out when people aren't at home or when confident spirit pumping within and bursting out. But HELL YEAH, you're almost Gladus quality! XD

Even so, if you'd feel comfortable with it you may also try a little "teen boyish" voice for Levant. I'm just curious, that's all.

[TheMage]

Yeah I am doing it at home and my PCs in the living room so I suppose that might explain why i'm lacking confidence, haha. Maybe I should move my computer, or do it when no ones home. I'll give the teen boyish voice for Levant a go and i'll try Gladus again, once I have the house to myself lol

[tushantin]

XD Do your best, TheMage.

UPDATE! Big thanks to Genete for publishing my article here.

An earnest request. It seems the backgrounds themselves are sucking up so much of my time I can't focus on the animation frames, cinematic and the script. Still looking for a volunteering background artist to help me out.

I'll have some footage ready soon. I've made a mock-up of the narration as well, so I'll include them in the examples. After that's done, I'll make a Pencil-only demo of an animation scene.

Still looking for voice actors for Gladus and Levant, and a background artist.

[tushantin]

UPDATE!! Since the last update the Act 1 of the script has experienced a LOT of restructuring, but thanks to a co-writer it is now almost stable save for one scene. It'll be completed as soon as possible (or even sooner).

News for the voice actors: Up until now the only characters who have a complete rock-solid-stable dialogue lists are Cedric Guardia (voice by Dapifer) and Levant (still finding), and after a bunch of reviews and polishing everything else would be done perfectly. Although if you guys can't wait, I can send in the Beta Act 1 script for Dapifer to start recording and anyone else who wants to give a go at Levant.

Once I have all the dialogues I require for Act one I will create an Audio Drama pronto and work on the animation simultaneously. Of course, by April or May I might take a break to enjoy the last days of summer and work on my novel.

Everyone, hope you guys have a great summer!
