Wow! This is pretty exciting — we’ve gotten about 90 demo submissions so far for various parts for “Lunatics” in less than a week, some of them from very talented people. So, I think we’re going to be able to put together a fantastic cast for this production.
Auditions and Readings
When I first starting planning this project, I thought that casting for it was going to be a really hard sell, because of the free-culture nature of the project, or the remote approach to recording, but that actually doesn’t have as much impact as I expected. We have a strong story concept and good characters, and so I think that it must be that actors can see that strength of the project, even if we haven’t completely articulated it yet. That’s a good feeling.
So far, these are just demo reels (collections of past work), but I’ve sent out my first batch of reading parts, and I am of course, still listening to the demos. We won’t make any final decisions until after the June 30th deadline, and it’s not really proper to say who has auditioned. But I will say I’m pretty excited about the level of talent we’re seeing.
Modeling and Animation
We’re also really, really close to posting our announcement for modeling and animation interns (I have to do a few last-minute edits). I will be posting another announcement about this very soon.
