I'm free now though so I'll have those lyrics by the end of the week! Scouts honour! *does the Scout salute even though he's not a Scout*

As an actual Eagle Scout, I find this...Actually Pretty Funny.

Alright, Kitsune's given me the go for proceeding with the project until he returns, so I'm going to start with the teaser:
I suppose I might as well do the writing for the teaser as I'm able to perfectly match up and edit the original silent animation. Once done I'll link it here and make sure I have the go to to begin. After that I'll do a few versions of the narration and once again link them here, I don't really think we have a way to cast while Kitsune is gone and I don't think it's important of a one time role to warrant a whole voting period. I wan't to get this done so people can actually know what to expect and confirm that this project will certainly be happening.

As mentioned earlier, Hlaoroo is finishing up the intro song. There's not much we can do about the rest of the song until Kitsune returns as he's in charge of casting AND he's doing most the instrumental (I technically can make it, but I'd prefer that he do it since he's way better at composing music). Plus, without the actual instrumental it's kinda hard to determine how it should be sung, so we really should wait till he's back.

On that note, it's very likely that the first episode will not have a intro for this reason. I may instead do some establishing shots of Babylon before getting to the actual episode as apposed to just jumping right into it. Either that or make an edit of the last few seconds of the teaser and make that a sort of place holder intro (when they put up the FANIM-ATED signs). I know I'll probably do a little title card art thing showing the name of the episode and an illustration like some cartoons do, so that might pad it out a bit too.

And of course, episode 2 is still being written to my knowledge (correct me if I'm wrong)

I believe that's all the business we have to address for now, feel free to share your ideas, and help with anything you can. I wanna keep this project a-floatin so it doesn't die out or get forgotten.

its good to hear that things are slowly being worked out

Ah okay. Thanks for the update CHAOKO.

Also, the script for episode 2 has been finished. I forget how long its been done, but you can find it in the script archive. Or I can always PM you a link, if you prefer.

Hello! i had been very intrested on participating and help on Housepets! Fanimated.

I wanna give it a try to dub some characters for the series. But i'm still waiting for my computer to get repaired before i get started. Where can i start to help on the series?

The characters for the first episode have already been casted. Stick around for episode 2 and there'll be new roles open, for characters Joey and Rex. If there's a certain character you wanna voice, or at least try out for, just stick with the project until development on that arc/episode starts. So anyone who wants to voice King is gonna have to wait awhile,

If you're looking to act, you can find the casting page here.

Allright! thanks!

I like it! I'll get to recording it as soon as I can.

Really like the idea so far. I wonder if we should call them "fluffy children" though and not just "Pets that can think. Like children" :3

Another idea for an ending I think that would be neat: "For maximum efficiency, setup a couch as you watch. Your pets will thank us for it later."

Oh we're still doing the voting thing? I was just gonna record it quickly to save time cause it's a minor one time roll but I'm down for that! How will we vote though, straw poll?

EDIT: Also I really like that one Cobra We'll need to record all the ones we think will work and see which one fits best.

Oh, well, I was just going to record and email it to you, as there's not much point of a narrator, as I've mentioned previously. Few strips make use of it, but I recall mentioning that whoever gets the voice of the TV could also narrate. Or this bit of narration for the teaser could remain a one-time deal. Up to you guys.

FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO AUDITION FOR THE TEASER NARRATOR AND THE TV NARRATOR:

There is a new Casting Call page for minor and one time rolls, also known as the page for when we need to cast people and Kitsune is gone! As of right now, the teaser trailer narrator and the TV's voice (the one in all the TV one-offs) are now available to audition for! The Teaser Narrator is needed as soon as possible so be sure to submitted the second you get the chance to. I'd say you have about a week or two to get it done, as I want to release the teaser within this month.

Submit your auditions HERE: https://www.castingcall.club/projects/h ... side-roles

More minor roles will become available when they are needed. The only reason I added the TV role now was because I needed to submit at least two roles and many people have shown interest in said role.

all I wanna do is be one of the kangaroos cause aussie ^^

Hey I know that we usually talk about development and stuff here, but I thought it might be a good idea to create a separate chat type thing. Like we could make a discord server for the project, that way we can have a easier way to talk to each other, voicechat, and a way to keep super secret project stuff private all in one. It would be incredibly convenient and would probably help us get to know each other more so we can be a more connected group.

Happy to help! I would love to join the discord too as a supporter (and hopefully a future voice actor )

The Discord is now available to join! Once you join, depending on who you are, you will be given a role based on what you work on in the show. Supporters or future fans of course, will not have a role, and will only be able to access the public chatrooms.

Discord (for those who don't have it or never used it): https://discordapp.com
The Housepets! Fanimated! Discord Channel: https://discord.gg/6khqGZs [/size]

These are the roles in the discord:
Admin (orange) - The server owner, that being me.

Director (yellow) - Kitsune, and I guess any other director we may get? (don't really see that happening)

Writing Team (green) - Those assigned to writing the show's episodes.

Animation Team (blue) - Those assigned to the art and animation of the show.

Voice Actor (gold) - Those who are cast as a voice actor for a character. Probably won't apply for the minor/one time roles.

Moderator (red) - Those entrusted to manage the public channels. They'll most likely be the mods of THIS forum, but some people may become Mods there should the team decide on it.

VIP (pink) - A special title that grants access to the public AND developer rooms. Will only be given out if I or another member feel it necessary for someone to be brought into one of those rooms, but they aren't apart of the team. Or, they're literally important people, like Rick Griffin or Karishad.

interesting very interesting

I started to stream progress on what I'm working on for the project. You can check it out here: https://picarto.tv/Guthrie

WARNING: A lot of times my friends will be on air with me and they can be pretty lewd and unfiltered, so if you don't want to listen to that you can put the stream on mute or something.

Yeah, I wasn't able to re-record lines at home all this time. I didn't get any time alone at home for a while. Good luck to anyone else, though.

I was tempted to sign up for the role, honestly, but i decided to pass on it mainly because i don't wanna sign-up for too many roles. I might try other quirky roles like this in the future, though. :3

Well, I'm back. I'll join the Discord.

THE TEASER TRAILER IS OUT NOW

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akQfK31Yqyk

Hey, so I wouldn't mind trying out for some VA and sound work. I do somethings in FL studio, if you're still needing an extra sound designer, hit me up here:

fb.com/tarrabyte.tarrabyte
Twitter.com/tarrabyte

soundcloud.com/tarrabyte

Basically everything is Tarrabyte if I can do it.

I'm back. Sorry to everyone about the delay and thank you Chaoko for stepping up the way you have.

I like the first video. Also, I would like to offer assistance in whatever way I can because I've loved the comics for a long time. I am down to voice act. Also, is there any way in the future that the quality will be bumped up to at least 720p? Also not sure if this is useful but I am pretty good at editing audio, like for when musicians record music I can make there voice a little more crisp I guess you'd say (I used to take classes at a music studio). That's basically it, can't wait to see where this project goes.

CHAOKOCartoons wrote:The original file was in 720p, but when I put it through my video editor (I use blender cause I'm poor :p) it came out in a pretty low quality. However, I no longer need to edit the videos myself since Kitsune has returned, so they SHOULD export to 720p so long as I'm not the one doing the final editing portion.

Speaking of which, are Bender's projects compatible with Adobe AE CSX?

If I'm being completely honest, I think the music sounds kinda cheesy. Other than that it's good, and I mean... If everyone else thinks it's fine, then I'll be fine with it...

Yeah, it's fine. I understand that a certain amount of cheesy-ness is required, heh. Sorry about that.
