r/Animators

Hello everybody, for the past couple of years I've been hard at work on my very own Anime.

I am the writer / director of this project and hired a small team of animators to make this Horror Short Film happen. Now I'm at the final steps before hitting Kickstarter and various Film festivals.

The trailer you are about to watch is 99% ready, it only needs some voice acting. I am looking for a fluent Japanese voice for a young and old male character. Anyone is open to submit their take and the person who will have their choice put in the trailer will be hired for the entire film, once our Kickstarter ends.

If you have any doubts about my legitimacy I can get you in contact with the various artists I've hired in the past (voice actors included) I pay half upfront, half after the job is done.

Thank you and enjoy the trailer on YouTube: https://youtu.be/4ri0W2ZCj5Q

You can send your recordings in the DMs so I can align them with the trailer. Your script can be seen in the subtitles, with a few gasps and pants along the way. 

Thanks in advance!

Bringing this little cat to life with some frame-by-frame animation. Open to animation projects like this.

I talk to a lot of students and recent grads in this space, and the same thing keeps coming up no matter who I ask.

It's not the classes they miss. It's not the professors. It's knowing what they're supposed to be doing every day. In school there's a clear path, you know what step comes next and how to actually get from an idea to something finished. Once that's gone, people are just figuring it out on their own, and a lot of them don't even know who else out there is going through the same thing.

I've heard some version of this from more than one person now, different schools, same answer. Structure, and having people around you working on the same stuff.

Once you're out, the options aren't great. Job boards work if you already know exactly what role you need. Discord servers work if you're lucky and the right person happens to see your post. Neither one gives you back what school actually gave you, which was never just a class, it was a team and a process.

That's basically what pushed me to build something around it, a competition where a team works through animation production together, stage by stage, so nobody's carrying the whole thing alone. Looking for 30 people to lead a team right now. It's called UMDB: umdb.org

Anyone else find a real fix for this once school ends?
