I have made an executive decision to reinstate Flight to Freedom (which I am renaming). After watching several shoujo animes I have completely redeveloped my plot, character profiles, themes, animating ideas and ending. Most of the main characters have been cut out and reinstated as extras, due to the cast being to large for me to handle.
Each episode has been cut down to 15 minutes, but being viewed and uploaded as three parts (act i, act ii, act iii). This way I can be more motivated to finish each act rather than look at a half hour script in horror.

Story and plot is : [link]

I am looking for many volunteers for many positions all which are listed below with details. I will not be talking all the credit, or raking in a profit for your hard work like many people fear, I am appreciative for any help I receive no matter how meager it may seem. I want to complete this as professionally, and as pain free as possible.

The talents I am in need of are:

Voice actors:
People who are willing to give up their time to sound like idiots talking, crying and screaming into a microphone. There are a wide range of characters I am in need of, and if you don’t seem to fit into any particular one available I can always try write in a small part to suit your voice and talents. Check [link] for more information

Either Background artists (preferred) or Photographers and photo manipulators:
Backgrounds are an anime essential and there are two ways I’m willing to do this. Either (preferably yet unlikely) a couple of wonderful artists willing to paint a variety of backgrounds (using water colours), which I will reuse over and over again, or a couple of photographers who are willing to take pictures of scenery similar to that in the scene and manipulate them to look as though they were painted with water colour’s( paint daubs works really well, I use the settings 8, 19).

Fellow Animators:
As much as I wish I could be a one man band, I know it would be physically impossible, and the outcome would be horrendous. If there are any macromedia flash users out there, good at drawing and following storyboards and with some imaginative input, your help would be greatly appreciated.

Others:
If none of these roles tickle your fancy, I might need a couple of other people to do some other tasks, such as:

1) Making sound effects. Did you know that the sound of the t-rex in ‘Jurassic Park’ was made by, mixing the sounds of multiple modern day animals together and layering them? Well if you think you can be this inventive for more everyday sounds then you could be perfect.

2) Storyboarding. People who can take a script, character designs and an idea, and turn it into a visual master piece are desperately needed. People who understand camera angles, visual effects and most importantly ways of shortcutting to save animators work, and make it look professional.

3) Screenwriters, second opinion. It’s my dream to become a screenwriter, but despite that I may be in need of a second opinion on what I’m writing. My humor has always been considered a little strange, and I can’t really trust my friends for an honest or normal opinion. If there is anyone who feels like putting in ideas and suggestions or even talking an idea and writing their own episode that would be great.

List of people already offering to help

That’s all I can think of for right now. If there is anything you think you can offer that isn’t listed or any questions you have please don’t hesitate to note me. Surprisingly I will not bite your head of for what you think is a silly question or talent, any help or interest is appreciated.


A questionnaire for anime lovers

I'm doing a little research and I would like all the anime lovers (or people who just watch anime) to answer a few questions that will help me along the original anime track. If you could leave a comment with your answers that would be great

1) What is your favourite anime, and why?

2) What do you look for in an anime? eg. (Romance, action, twists)

3) Is it more the art or the plot that attracts you to an anime?

4) What distracts/puts you off from an anime most?

Thanks for your time

If you read this far, you deserve a pat on the back

Much love
