This is a sequel to the previous EFY projects I have made in the past 8 years, and this animation is projected to be the one that completes the trilogy. -= Oversimplified Plot Summary =- When previous versions of Anthony, a struggling university student, begin to appear in the present day, it's up to him and their previous selves to help restore reality and save the future. -= What I Am Looking For =- ▪ Given that my voice has grown older over the past 10 years, there are some parts in the film that I won't be able to completely make on my own. Therefore, I'm calling for any committed voice actors wanting to help with the voice acting in the project. ▪ The most important element I am looking for is how accurate you can replicate my voice, as well as how broad your voice range are. ▪ Keep in mind that this project is intended to be structured in a film instead of a series of episodes. -= What's Inside the Project =- ▪ Information about the Plot Synopsis, tips on how to voice act, specifications for each character in the story, and auditioning lines are throughout the slideshow. Some of the slides are rehashes to the description. ▪ Layout of Presentation: Welcome, Synopsis, General Tips, Character Descriptions/ Lines, Deadlines. -= Deadlines and Important Dates =- ▪ Don't forget to fill in your audition form! I will use these to determine accommodations and help make my final casting decisions. ▪ There is no need to ask if there are characters open for audition. ▪ The final day to get auditions in is currently set for July 15th, 2023. I will be going through auditions on a rolling basis, and the cast list should be made available no later than July 20th, 2023. ▪ To show continuous commitment with this project, I am planning to release a teaser trailer around August/September 2023, an official trailer near the end of December 2023, and a Super Bowl scratch promo for February 2024. The date of the full release of the film is projected to be in February 2024. -= Notes and Credits =- ▪ The title logo for Every For Years 2024 was made in Clip Studio Paint v 1.13.2. ▪ Entire project will be animated in TurboWarp. ▪ Song Used: Mac Miller - One Last Thing (Clean) -= FAQs [As of 6/10/23] =- Q: Isn't the title supposed to be "Every FOUR Years" rather than "Every For Years"? A: The Four was intentionally misspelled when I made EFY (2016) long ago, and I pretty much decided to let it be that way, as it was something you didn't need to take seriously. Q: Can I audition for [this] character? A: As long as you can show that your acting meets the criteria for the character, you are free to audition for any character. Q: What is a "Bio Male" character? A: "Bio Male" is short for biological male, where the character is male and speaks in a male voice. Q: What is the point for the background characters? A: These are characters that you are free to improvise lines while following the prompt between parenthesis. Q: What is this Super Bowl Promo in February 2024? A: This is a project that I will share only on Scratch on the day of Super Bowl XLVIII as kind of a fun promotion for the upcoming film.
