Finally! I can tell somebody… We now have six voice actors confirmed for the pilot episode, who will play the six series regular characters who appear in the pilot (Georgiana, Hiromi, Rob, Tim, Josh, and Anya — in order of apperance): Rob will be played by William Roberts . Hiromi will be played by Karrie Shirou . Georgiana will be played by our daughter Ariel after all (we reviewed auditions from a few adult actresses to be sure this is what we wanted to do — they were good, but a real child’s voice sounds much better, and Ariel did quite well on the audition). Tim will be played by Lex Quarterman . Josh will be played by Paul Birchard . and
Casting and internship applications ar now closed. If you have already contacted us and we are waiting on a read from you, please go ahead and send it in. We’ll be trying to make our decisions on principal cast for the pilot episode (i.e. Georgiana, Hiromi, Rob, Anya, Josh, Tim, and Sergei) by the end of the day tomorro (Monday). We’ll then try to settle on the animation team and supportin cast before next Saturday (July 7).
A reminder to any of you who are thinking of applying for an internship or auditioning to be on the voic cast for “Lunatics” / “No Children in Space” (and additional series regular parts): the submission deadline is this Saturday, June 30th. We’ll try to make the decisions on principal casting by July 2nd and finish both casting and internship decisions by July 7th. We also may b interested in commission proposals for certain major modeling tasks, especially character mesh modeling, where we may need an experienced modeller.
We’re currently doing five things simultaneously: casting voice actors, reviewing applications for 3D artist internships, finishing our pre-production Kickstart work and rewards, training on the software, and planning for our next Kickstarte which will pay for the production of the pilot episode, “No Children i Space”. Everything is complicated and interlocked, and I am very busy camper. But this is pretty fun, I have to admit!
Just a quick note: I have got some more artwork up on the Download page: We are also currently taking auditions for Voice Actors and applications for Artist Interns (Mostly Blender 3D art skills, but also some 2D and audio).
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.
Rosalyn Hunter has finished up the reading scripts, so we are now ready to start taking auditions for voic acting in “Lunatics” / “No Children in Space” — especially for the principal parts.
Pretty soon we’ll be fund-raising for the pilot for Lunatics, and we’d like to be able to offer both a standard definition version on DVD and a DRM-free high-definition version. Since Blu-Ray is a very, very closed format, we decided to tr to create a new option with “Lib-Ray”. We’re about 74% of the way to funding that development on Kickstarter, but we’ve just got 5 days to make our Kickstarter goal (or we won’t get any of that). So we could really use help, either directly, or by telling anyone you know who cares about free-culture, independent film, and/or user freedoms with multimedia. …
I have just created the… As mentioned before, the content is not complete (and yes, I’m even behind where I said I was going to be, but I’m starting to catch up now). But I have versions of the Concept Art Poster in SVG, PDF, and various wallpaper/desktop sizes. I’ve also got the first 44 pages of the Artbook, including all of the character modelsheets, and the introduction which talks about the planned series format, business model, production schedule, and so on. The original SVG model sheets for each character are also available. More will be coming very soon! Also… Please check that your name is listed correctly in the backer credits.
