Writer looking for an animator

[raider10]

This is an original comedic script done by myself, Raider10. This is my first script as far as flash or radio plays are concerned, but I have a large amount of experience writing novels, short stories, etc...
I realize it is going to be hard with such high expectations on my first production, but why put so much work into something that isn't going to be the best possible. Hopefully, the animator will have the same attitude!

I am planning this to be a continuing series if it becomes successful enough or if myself and the animator just have insane amounts of fun producing it!

All aspects of the concept, scripts, characters are up for discussion between myself and the animator seeing as we will both be putting a lot of work, and our reputations into it.

I am looking for an animator willing to be very dedicated, communicate effectively and consistently, not be afraid to give input as well as not be offended by input from me, has an open sense of humor, and is willing to have fun!
Any animators interested, please contact me on this thread, pm, email, or IM. I will also be needing an example of animations you have done.

I realize some of the concepts or script may sound weird or off, but it's part of the originality, creativeness and openness. The same kind of stuff I'd like to see in the animator. I believe once the project is finalized, it will be great. Especially with the ideas between two people. It is supposed to be witty humor.

Title: Critical Point

Synopsis: Five friends are sick and tired of society and the way the world works. After an old woman/man hears of their complaints, she tells them a tale of a nomadic bum that has the power to reshape the world into a balance that would make the world run smoothly. The friends set out on a journey to find the bum and to set the world straight.

The Main Characters:
Jerry Prewer- The unofficial leader of the group, Jerry tends to be more responsible and a bit uptight at times. he has a sarcastic wit to him, but as far as humor goes, it's more cynical instead of silly. He also tends to be overprotective over the rest off the group; specifically his sister Jenny.

Jennifer Prewer- AKA Jenny. She tends to be somewhat air-headed, and vain, but she has a sweet heart. All of the outside appearance (looks and personality wise) are covering up her insecurities. She feuds with her brother frequently, but secretly appreciates his protection.

Gary Galli- Gary tends to be the goofy comedic relief. He's the friend that isn't particularly included in everything, but at the same time it's not like they don't like him. He's very much an optimist, but his self confidence is easily shaken. He has a "secret" crush on Jenny, but she barely notices him.

Ryan Motayen- He is the classic tough guy. He is the most assertive in the group and can have a smart mouth on him. He's also the first to get into tiffs verbally or physically. However, he is very loyal to his friends and will stick by them no matter what...even if Gary gets on his nerves sometimes. He dates Christine.

Christine Stanley- Christine is the butter to Ryan's bread. She's tough and independent, yet the two of them are barely separable. She's pretty quiet, but has a kind of love/hate friendship with Jenny and can be chatty with her as well as Ryan. Even though she is a mysterious girl, everyone like having her around, because even just her smile lifts everyone's spirits.

Any Critiques will also be appreciated. Also, please understand that the script is written for the animator to read. In the actual script sent to VA's, there won't be stage directions or non-dialog.

it sounds interesting, but i've got a good bit on my plate at the moment...

most animators require money if you're gonna request flashes of them...

good luck though..

[raider10]

lol...money. Honestly, if an animator wants money from this, it should be all the more reason to do their best with this project. If it gets popular enough, you never know.

but starting, it is only going to be for the fun.

He has a point, you are going to struggle finding a many animators who want to do this kind of thing "for fun".

Most of them can produce their own ideas and only seek writers who need animators as a source of little cash flow.

If you could secure some kind of sponsorship or just promise a cerain percentage of your ad revenue your search will be greatly helped.

I actually found someone very talented on the VAC. If anyone is still interested, they may contact me for now, but once he and I get things figured out, this thread might as well be locked.
