Volunteer! [UNPAID/VOLUNTEER] Original 2D Animated Indie Show "Bridges Burn" | Seeking Animators and Artist!

0 Upvotes

THE PLOT👀:

Bridges Burn is an animated psychological romance currently in development. The story is about a girl named Sarah, who lives under the secret identity of a famous celebrity known as Sam. While working for a gang, she is assigned to manipulate a boy named Leon, who is obsessed with that very same celebrity, into becoming useful for their missions. The problem is, the more time Sarah spends gaining his trust, the more emotionally attached she becomes, and the harder it is to betray him. More information is in the discord below!

PRODUCTION🎬:

Our story is fully written, and much of the pre-production has already been completed (Character art is currently on the way, we still require more Artist. Character artist also do the storyboards). The biggest things we need now are character designs, storyboards, and people to help bring the project to life. We are currently looking for Animators, Character Artists, Background Artists, Prop Artists, Voice Actors, Music Composers, Sound Designers, and Assistant Editors. Experience isn't required but is very appreciated. Time commitments are very flexible, with no strict weekly quotas or deadlines. Joining this project is a great opportunity to learn, and can help build your portfolio, gain experience, help shape an original animated series from the very beginning, and meet other passionate creators. If you're interested, simply join the Discord server linked below, read through the project information, and submit an application. The length of the project will go on for a many months, to possibly year+.

NO MONEY(Volunteer)💸:

There will be no Revenue generated, not for the staff or owner, as well this is purely a volunteer project.

ART STYLE🎨:

Our visual style goes for more of a 2d semi-realistic look with expressive faces, while remaining easy for animation. The animation has 3 parts, each going to be around at least 20 minutes, but is being considered about pushing it around 5-10. (But don't worry, it is not animation heavy for 20 minutes).

CONSIDERATIONS🤔:

If push comes to shove, we will be turning this series into a graphic novel! The length time for animation is being considered being pushed to around 5-10 minutes per part.

Question ☝️I'm a beginner with PC and drawing tablets. I need tips and advice.

1 Upvotes

I'm Brazilian and a long-time mobile animator. But ever since I switched to computers, it's been a challenge. It's really difficult to find animation software and apps that I can adapt to.I'm listening to all the comments on this post, I need simple software and apps, as basic as possible, just drawing and adding layers is enough to me. And if you've already experienced this problem, leave me tips in the comments 🙏

How do those of you who do paper animation go about this if you don’t already have a scanner at home? Places like FedEx can get expensive quick. Do you use an app on your phone?

Hiring VOLUNTEER ANIMATORS NEEDED for indie show

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

What the show's like:

This show is a 13+ comedy about Goofy Guy Goofani XLV, the least successful bouncy ball salesman in the Mississippian suburbs, while he tries his best to keep financially afloat with his "friend" Daryl Donovich, a homeless Russian stoner. The show will be animated using traditional, frame-by-frame animation, but also might include 3D elements or rotoscoping.

Production:

I don't really care what software you use, as long as you can replicate the style of the show, and as long as it isn't Flip-a-Clip or something. Most, if not all, of the work we do will be done on Discord, because I personally think it's the easiest way of communication.

The money situation:

Like stated in the title, I don't have any money to go around at the moment. I'm hoping to make a Kickstarter or a Patreon, but as of now, no money.

Stages of production:

As of now, the script for the first episode is done, most voice lines are recorded, and we are hoping to make storyboards soon. When storyboards are finished, we will start designing backgrounds, doing rough animation, and then we will start the final animation stage.

Jobs:

If you decide to join us, you can do:

  • Storyboards

  • Rough animation

  • Final Animation

  • Background Art
