Animators and Voice Actors Needed for Pony Project

[AlexLoneWolf 6]

Hello everyone, I've just been recently looking for several people to help me out with this project. Getting to the point, this project is the process of transforming a story of mine into an animation, or a series. The story is based on the original series, but involves the life of a rather unfortunate pony who has been through not so lucky events. Basically, this project involves the original series mixed in with relatable issues in reality. And it also focuses how the OC may change the choices or outcomes based on the original series.

 

If you'd like to know more about the story, then please don't hestiate to ask or send me a message.

 

Getting on the team, of course, I would like more animators or puppet riggers to answer the call, as well as those that can make backgrounds, and be able to contribute to the team in any other way.

 

I am mostly focused on getting the group of people required to make the animation right now, but I could also use a group of people who can voice act, especially for promotional use right now.

 

Please, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. If you believe you could really enjoy this project, or are interested in it, reply to this or send me a message.

Hey man, I just made an account to tell you this, As someone Trying to become an animator the part that made me not want to help you is you havent Started to even search for how to do this, You cant animate without, Story-Storyboards-VoiceActing-Animatic-Review- Then you animate.....

Then that can be worked on as well, I'm hoping that this project isn't just abandoned. Anyway, I could and would gladly provide whatever voices I could. I may need a better recording mic, but that can also be taken care of over time, please, both of you respond and let's see if we can continue this.

Well, I can do some voice acting, I think it would interesting to have a pony with an Australian accent... just give me a request on what you imagine a certain characters voice to sound like and I will try to get it down pat. I would also need to get a better micfor recording though, since mine seems to buzz at random moments.

I also hope this project doesn't just get abandoned I realize that it's a lot of work, but it will be great to see that work come to fruition and see the amazing product we can all produce together

[morethanicecream 116]

I would love to voice act. I can give you more than a few different voices. Each one is distinct. You can add me on Skype. User is morethanicecream. But, I can't animate. I have been through depressing, so I could either play bully (I know how bullies talk and I know what they would do.). Or I could play the victim. Any role I could help you with. It would be fun to do something like that

[Antismurf9001 1,271]

Oh, how I wish I could animate.  HOW I WISH I COULD.  But alas, these ideas will just have to stay bottled up in my head...  I hope to obtain a decent recording mic in the near future, so I could do voice acting.  I have several voices, though I'm not sure if any of them are any good.  My friends say that I have a halfway decent Andy Serkis Gollum/Smeagol impression, though I find it unlikely that that's the sort of voice you're looking for.

[Rainbow Dash 1,472]

i would animate but decent animation programs cost too much for my bolod. i tried flash animation but that didnt end well for me. I could always be a voice acter. i hhave had 2 years experience through school. i was also given pointers by a person who worked with the new looney tunes

Trust me. I know the process. I've already worked on the storyboards but the main reason why I need animators right now is to try to get the teaser I made out. I already completed the storyboard for the teaser. I'll be honest. I haven't placed any voice actors to any positions yet because I was hoping to leave the voice actors after retrieving animators. 1. If I get a teaser out (which will require no voices by the way) people will see how this isn't a joke. What I mean is that a lot of people see me as some random person who probably doesn't know crap dealing with projects like this. And I understand how they could feel like that. I can see how those who already have the skills to work on their own things wouldn't trust or assist some random stranger they think are amatuers. The teaser I have waiting to be released will hopefully remove those "doubts" they have. 2. If I get the people who actually get the animation running, then there will be little risk of complaining voice actors who feel the project is a fail because it's taking too long to produce the animation. If I have enough animators to do the job, then the voice actors will most likely feel it's not a fail and won't quit. I pretty much have everything except the animatics, most of the voice actors, and of course animation, which I'll need help on.

It's not. It's been going on for quite some time now. I can most likely see how the others, who've read my story, might be fearing that it might not work because I pretty much haven't produced anything related to the animation for a while. Just so you know, and it may be hard to believe, I'm very dedicated to this project and I'm willing to do whatever it takes, as long as it's not too extreme, to get this up and running. You don't know how bad I want this to be successful. Do you have a skype?

Right. Who's voices do you think you'd be able act for? I know a lot of guys are even willing to do the girls, but honestly, I much perfer for girls to stay with girls and guys to stay with guys. There's not going to be many guys in my version as well, but I mean there are some more guys I'm adding as OCs who have to deal with the story, but if guys want to voice act, they'll pretty much have to do those that only appear for an episode or so, or those who are background ponies.

I honestly don't know who those people are. Hm... It'd be better if anyone who wants to audition for a voice to send me a video or audio track of the voices. To be more organized, I was hoping in deciding the voices after the teaser is out.

Like stated above, there may not be a lot of voices to do so for guys. There are still those OCs I added in, but the ones who are guys don't appear until a long time...

 

Anyway, for those who still have more questions to ask or want more information, please do not hesitate to ask.

Well, I do HAVE a skype, but for whatever ungodly reason my skype tends to kill my internet, I don't know. I use teamspeak mostly.

Don't mind these letters, I'm just filling in the minimum required amount of characters for the post.

I have, tried, to no effect, I dunno.

 

Well, then.....I suppose I will have to join you in filling in the rest of a post, as my answer was too short.

Hm... No idea then... Skype is a little crucial, as you're able to send files and talk in a group chat, etc etc.

 

Filling in the least required letter again...

[Unique Pinkie Pie 173]

every animation needs more than animators and voice actors it needs supporters, writers and music so using those two wont make an actual animation.

Supporters, I have. Writers, I pretty much don't need. I'm the only writer and I've already done, and am continuing to do, a lot. Music is the only thing I don't have much on. I'm planning on using some songs not related to MLP. It's more like the background music I need, which isn't really a huge part of the animation.

I suppose we can figure it out over time, anyway, I'll probably end up using skype to work it out anyway. And now, I will continue filling.

Umm, G'Day Mate, Are You Still Looking For Voices?

I May Be Able To Help, If You Will Excuse My Accent That Is.

I May Also Be Able To Help With Backgrounds.

Good Luck!

 

[Sky Warden 2,243]

Excuse me. If I may ask, what's the story about? I really am interested to help, but I need more details about the project before I continue.

@@AlexLoneWolf. That name sounds familiar to me. Have we ever met somewhere?

Sure. Although your background comment got me interested. How can you help with the backgrounds, if you don't mind me asking?

I'll try to explain it as much as I can without any spoilers. The story is basically the start from the beginning of the series and goes on from there, following the series's episodes. Now the thing here is how the episodes may be affected by the new stallion added. Not only does this story reveal what may happen or what changes might occur by the added pony, but it also gives a different point of view from the episodes that don't quite follow the mane six, such as the CMC episodes. The story also provides closure that some of the episodes might have actually not. The main character, the OC, doesn't just join in and absolutely provides nothing to the plot. He has his own backstory and it all affects the main plot. However, his story, along with other concerns about him, aren't revealed in the first episode. The viewer, or the reader, has to continue reading as everything ties in gradually. Eventually, the truth is revealed. Of course, even after that truth is released, there are still many other questions that need to be answered throughout the story and thus, what may seem the end, is only the beginning towards a journey to find more answers to particular things.

 

Speaking out of the story's plot, the outside purposes are new as well. This story adds in a more "male" touch, if you know what I mean. Not that the show wasn't good as it was or anything, but you could say this story appeals more towards men, mostly teens. This is still a story that anyone can enjoy. It just adds a little more emotional content than the actual series. This story brings in more issues from reality, such as focusing more on bullies, depression, etc. The issues that are added in, I'm sure a lot of people can relate to.

 

If someone can take the time to read beyond the words and really get into it, then I'm sure they'll love the story. Otherwise, for those that just read the words and expect everything to be brought to them as quickly as possible...then maybe not so much...

 

Also, I'm not so sure if we've met before. *shrug*

[DarkDarsi 124]

Well I Am Currently Doing A Course In 3D Modelling And Animation, But Me And A Few Of The Others Had To Make A 2D Side Scrolling Game First, In Said 2D Game, I Made All The Backgrounds (Most Were Static But Some Had Animated Features, I Did Several Arctic Caves, A Jungle Land Scape In The Distance, An Undergrowth Area And An Area Full Of Crystals And Lava)

As Well As Some [simple] Animated Objects (Dripping Stalagmites, Some Glistening Icicles, Water And Lava.

This sounds like so much fun! I'd love to act or sing for it, but don't really have any fancy technology for that. Good luck though! I love fan made series!

That sounds really useful. Would you be able to make flash backgrounds and animations?

What do you mean by fancy technology? A clear mic that doesn't have any background noise seems fine enough for me.

[DarkDarsi 124]

I Probably Could, If I Knew What Flash Was?

I Use GIMP, Blender And To A Lesser Extant, Gamemaker Lite. All Are Open Source.

Flash is the program used by the Animators of the show to make the animation. The full name is Adobe Flash Professional. It's expensive though.

[Mie-chan 0]

Would it be possible to get a breakdown of the characters you need? I'm mostly into stage acting and singing, but I'd like to give voice acting a try! I'm told my Applejack and my Rarity are decent, though that's absolutely subjective.

[TalentlessAsh 1]

I wouldn't mind having a go at some of the animation if you have storyboards and the likes (audio files and backgrounds) but it would honestly depend on the length of this here project.. (I use flash CS3, out dated for does the job efficiently enough)

I would be interested in hearing more about this.
