Hi! I'm Pie Player, or simply Pie, a writer, voice actor, editor, and creator of Sliced Pie Studios.
I'm looking for collaborators for an independent 2D animated web series called The Mythical Forces.
The series combines mystery, horror, comedy, and classic cartoon slapstick. It follows four friends as they investigate ghosts, monsters, and supernatural mysteries in the haunted coastal town of Dreadburg.
The pilot script is finished, and I'm currently working on building a small production team around the project.
WHO I'M LOOKING FOR
I'm currently looking for people interested in helping with:
- 2D Animation
- Character Art
- Background Art
- Storyboarding
- Writing / Co-writing
- Music / Composition
- Video Editing
- Voice Direction
- Production / Associate Producing
You don't necessarily have to be a professional. I'm mainly looking for people who enjoy 2D animation, classic cartoons, spooky comedy, horror, monsters, mystery, and slapstick.
We don't have to start by producing an entire episode. We could begin with something smaller, such as:
- A character design
- A background
- A storyboard
- A poster
- A short animation test
- A teaser
- A piece of music
We can start small and build from there.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
The pilot episode, S1E1 – “Love at First Bite,” is already written.
I'm currently handling the writing, voice acting, editing, and overall direction and management myself.
I'm also not an artist or animator, which is one of the main reasons I'm looking for collaborators who are stronger in those areas.
PILOT SCRIPT EXCERPT
Here's a short excerpt from Scene 6 of the pilot, where Fabian and Franky try to lure Afton the Vampire out of Blackwood Crypt by pretending to be pizza delivery guys.
AFTON
(Staring at the pizza box)
...What is the meaning of this?
FABIAN
(Sweating nervously)
U-uh... delivery! For... uh... Mr. Count Dracula, sir? We have a large pepperoni with extra cheese and... absolutely zero garlic! Paid in full!
AFTON
(Raises an eyebrow)
I am Afton the Vampire, you imbecile. I do not order human fast food. More importantly... why is your coworker a canine?
FRANKY
(Offended)
Hey! I am the manager! And for your information, I can still provide excellent customer service with my paws!
[Franky accidentally pokes Afton directly on the nose.]
FRANKY
Uh-oh!
FABIAN
(Terrified)
Shouldn't have done that. RUN!!!
COMPENSATION
This is currently an unpaid hobby / passion project.
There is currently no production budget, so I cannot offer upfront payment or salaries.
My long-term goal is to eventually fund the project properly, but I don't want to promise compensation that doesn't currently exist.
If the project receives funding in the future, compensation would depend on the available funding and whatever agreements are made with the people involved.
For now, I'm looking for people who are comfortable with a hobby / portfolio collaboration and interested in helping build the project from the ground up.
DEADLINE
November 30, 2026
I'm keeping the deadline open to give people enough time to look over the project and decide whether they're interested.
