What's up guys?
With the success of my first cganimated short that I submitted to the youtube film festival, I wrote another screenplay. This time its Science Fiction! Love and war in outer space!
SYNOPSIS
There is another territorial war within the human race but this time its has gone stellar and the end prize is earth. The pilot, Ensign Lyman Tucker, was just awarded with the Navy Cross for heroic actions, an almost suicidal act that saved the fleet he is a part of... until he is ironically assigned for a suicide mission. His girlfriend and superior officer,Lieutenant Patty Bailey, supports him in any way she can but is it really for love or duty? Commander Ed Herman runs the show of their lives, how far can he push the two to sacrifice for victory?
This CG Film has alternate endings that could break or mend hearts. Happy Valentines Day by the way!

Just like what I said, this is a short movie so the roles are going to be easy!
Starting today I am going to put together the scenes, the animations and begin a marketing campaign to promote this short while I give a week long audition for those who are interested. If you casted in my first short movie, you are more than welcome to recast!
The deadline is going to be next Monday, February 20. The day after, a PDF file of the screenplay will be sent to your email address with the confirmation letter.
TIPS:
a.) Limit background noise as possible, especially chirping birds for they wont last long in a space environment.
b.) Make sure your microphone is working properly and check if they have popping or squirting sounds.
c.) Send auditions early. I have to turn down a lot of great talents in the past because the rush slashed the quality of their performance by half. I am not kidding!
d.) Acting in your voice is the right way to do it.
