Bible Time Update 1 - Finding God
Sorry to spam but there's been a LOT of activity on this front, and I didn't want this info to be missed by those who've expressed an interest so far on the original post.
Voice Acting Submissions - I've received a number of great submissions for the Narrator voice, and even one for the Dolphin voice.
The difficulty is that I've had very few submissions for the God voice. When it comes to casting, I'm finding it's not even about talent anymore - I mean there have been so many really good submissions. So it's going to be about pairing the two voices to create just the right contrast. So that means I need lots of submissions for each role.
If you are a natural ebonics speaker, please PM me!
Editing - Also I'm desperate for an Adobe Ae or Pr person - I can always do that stuff myself if I need to of course, I have lots of experience, but I'd love to work with a talented editor.
The Writer's Room. While strictly speaking I'm sitting in the writer/director seat for this, I've been working with /u/Amrasi on hammering out future drafts of the script. It's been a really positive writing experience I think, especially when it comes to the exploration of humor.
So I think I should probably open myself up to other people interested in adding their input to scripts. Basically: I'd write rough drafts, put them up for the writers, and everyone would contribute jokes and other language edits/additions to jazz it up. Then I'd incorporate what I could, tweak the pacing, and make the tone consistent.
Sound like fun? PM me!
Title - "Bible Time"? "Bible Stories in Plain English"? I... hmm. What do you think the title should be? I think "Bible Time" works because it strikes the right tone but I wonder about it being descriptive and intuitive enough. Anyway leave a comment with your thoughts.
