Animators and Voice Actors Needed for Pony Project

[AlexLoneWolf 6]

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.

 

Pretty much every character in the series, lol. Every character that talks in the show to put it simply. I honestly prefer for girls to remain girls and guys to remain guys. Also, I prefer for one person to stick with one character in the series. For example, if someone becomes Rarity and wants to do say... Applejack too, I don't really want that to happen. I feel like keeping this seperate will add a little more...uniqueness to the character. However, if we are very short of voice actors and we don't have time, then I suppose I can allow it. However, for right now, if anyone voices one of the main characters, they can also audition/voice for a character that appears once in an episode or not so often; pretty much a secondary character. If you'd like to audition for any pony, please don't hesitate to contact with me.

 

 

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.

 

Yes, I have storyboards. I've finished the one for the teaser, which shouldn't be that long (maybe half a minute to a minute or so). I've finished most of the storyboards for the opening of the first episode. For audio files, that would probably have to wait until voice actors are retrieved. However, the teaser doesn't require much. We're still working on backgrounds, which we could really use more assistance on. Now, the length of this project? Well, it's going to be a really long one... So long that I honestly don't have a date for it. If you have a skype, you can send me any questions you have on there.

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.

I can do some voice acting, it may take me a bit to calibrate my mic correctly for this. But I can do it, nothing I haven't handled before. So if you want to PM me with any voice acting positions I'd be more than happy to try my hand at it.

Sure, go ahead.

 

 

Don't mind this. I'm just filling the minimum required characters limit which I kind of find annoying because I have to keep doing this for short responses.

Is there anything specific you would like me to try for though? A specific character and lines for it. I'm not too great at improvising

[concertoldham 140]

I would love to voice act. I don't have any voice acting experience but I was a major character in every drama production I participated in since 7th grade and I can sing if needed. I actually have a closet dream of voice acting and I can do your basic ethnic accent stereotypes hah. But I'd love to be involved.

Um, not really to be honest. You're a male right? Since there are not many males in the show, I'm looking more for females to audition. The only males I know would be just those ponies that speak a line or two.

Hm, if you could find any pony to voice for, you're more than welcome to audition for that part. However, as I said, it's going to be a bit harder for males, as there are not many voices for males.

Well I suppose Big Mac could be an option. I can do a decent Shining Armour if you're using him. Pony Joe I can do along with Blueblood. I can do a fairly good Snips and Snails.

Yeah sure. You can audition for any of those if you don't mind the not so many appearances they make. Since this is a fan made series, it's going to take a while to get to those parts where, for example, Shining Armor, would appear. However, the more help I get, the faster this can go.

Well I may be willing to animate the teaser, but as for the main project it depends on the interest of the show. (with all due respect)

So you're experienced with Flash? And what do you mean by "the interest of the show"? Are you talking about the series we are making?

[WindsweptFrog 52]

Sounds like it could be loads of fun! I might be able to help out on the animation front if you still need people? I'm not the best when it comes to drawing but I could probably animate most things

[morethanicecream 116]

I could try to learn flash animation. I have it, so, why don't I try. By the way. Am I going to be the bully. Just curious. Is the bully a male, and how much does he speak.

@WindsweptFrog

 

Of course. You don't need to draw when we have puppet rigs. Have you worked on any flash animations before? Especially on MLP?

@morethanicecream

 

Yeah. Although, the bully's part doesn't come around for quite a while, unless there will be flashbacks in the animation. However, the main part doesn't come until a long time, depending on how many people we have to help.

I have made a few animations before but nothing to huge, and I haven't done anything with MLP before tho. I am doing an alevel in animation so I should probably be of some use, what sort of programs would you be using?

@WindsweptFrog

 

We're using Adobe Flash Professional, Adobe Illustrator (mostly for backgrounds and promo posters), and perhaps even Adobe After Effects for enhancement. I don't know if you have any experience with those.

I have used Flash Professional a bit, and if not I have used a lot of similar programs. I have not used Illustrator, but I have did used After Effects to do some stuff a long time ago lol

Okay. Hm... Do you have any clips or examples of the animations you have done in Adobe Flash? It'd be nice to see them.

Ermmm i wouldn't imagen so lol I recently swept though my HHD and deleted loads of stuff. The only thing I that I might be able to find is an ident i made for my college but I did that with photoshop so it probably wouldn't be much use :L

@WindsweptFrog

 

Do you think you could make a quick animation, just so I can see where you're at and such? I don't know if it'd be too much trouble.

I can probably throw something together when I get a chance, and then get it to you as soon as I can, any thing you want? and any perticular type of animation?

If you could try working with MLP, that'd be great. But I don't think you know how to get a character to work with anyway, so...I'm not sure. Surprise me, I guess.

Thanks. Although, things could be coming along a little better. However, I guess it's our humble beginnings, huh?
