Hey, people of Newgrounds. This is your chance to be a part of something HUGE.
I have an ENORMOUS project that I've started, and upon starting it, I realized I am incapable of producing the entire thing myself. This is a project meant for a studio, and thusly I'm putting together a team.
The project is an animated series I wrote called Primetime Primate. You may or not be familiar with the pilot I did, but that is irrelevant. The quality of writing in this project is phenomenally better than anything I've constructed previously, and it calls for lots of work I can't do in a fair amount of time. The point of this series is to upload episodes to NG whilst I am attempting to pitch the show to networks and various other venues. I'm looking to make something happen here, and I'm going to need your help.
That's where you come in. I need at least 3 well rounded animators (well rounded = props, color keys, cars, animals, humans, backgrounds) to join the Smirk Studios force in order to ensure a quality product for me to pitch to the networks in Hollywood.
Until there becomes money involved, there will be no money involved. As soon as there is, there will be. Until then you will be credited for the work you do, and will be on the list of people to take with me if/when we make it. All that said, if you like animating, but don't aren't much of a writer, don't have means of recording audio, and/or are just looking for a good project to keep you busy and give you good practice whilst testing your abilities to the max, I urge you to express your enthusiasm with great haste. This could be what gets you where you need to be!
Your best method of contacting me is going to be by PM, but feel free to ask your questions here.
EXTRA DETAILS:
Primetime Primate - An animated action/comedy series about a gorilla named Primus Jamison who aspires to become king of the jungle. He believes the lions are self righteous and do not deserve the title, and plans to campaign his ambitions to the humans of the world. Each episode he will grow one step closer in his quest to befriend mankind, but not before the lions try to stop him, often resulting in fights. His methods for getting closer to his goal often involve competition amongst much confusion, leading him to drugs, sex, and violence.
The show is most comparable to the construction of the Venture Bros., including lots of 90's pop culture references, risque drama as well as jokes, action packed fight scenes, and cliff hanger ends to keep you interested to find out what happens next.
PS - The pilot does not compare to the actual writing the actual series involves. It was just a test to see what I could do with the characters, and thusly has no real construction. To be used only as a guideline.
