Title: Need International Voice Actors For Personal Project
Post by: WartyX on March 18, 2011, 01:35:33 AM: Eastern Front fans,

I am making an espionage action film as my final-year project at college.

There is a scene which demonstrates the worldwide effects of an event. It essentially shows generic TV news footage accompanied by newsreaders speaking in a variety of world languages and accents.

You are generally an enthusiastic and involved lot, so I thought here might be a place to ask. Is anybody up for it?

Post by: Sommarkatze on March 18, 2011, 10:33:02 AM: Myself as a moviemaker know how hard it can be to find people for scenes and such. Thats why I be honoured to take part in your project as the voice for a Swedish news reporter ^^

Post by: pariah on March 18, 2011, 11:33:54 AM: So we would need a camera and microphone, along with a desk and a nice suit, and perhaps a greenscreen? ...Anything else?
Title: Re: Need International Voice Actors For Personal Project
Post by: WartyX on March 18, 2011, 11:40:02 AM: Not at all, all you need is a microphone and a voice ;)

Thanks for offering Sommarkatze, I already have a Swedish voice but I suppose another one wouldn't be any harm =)

Title: Re: Need International Voice Actors For Personal Project
Post by: Seeme on March 18, 2011, 07:56:15 PM: My Accent is Russian, but over the years I kinda lost that accent, so now I just sound plain weird. I can make my own language ;D

Title: Re: Need International Voice Actors For Personal Project
Post by: IJoe on March 18, 2011, 09:02:00 PM: I can speak native russian, english with funny russian accent :), english with mild russian/german accent (they say, those are hard to differ), a rather poor german (since I haven't been practicing for ages), puny (next to none) french. I also speak a bit of ukrainian (mediocre skill).

Title: Re: Need International Voice Actors For Personal Project
Post by: pariah on June 18, 2011, 02:18:16 AM: Nice! Thanks, mate!

Expertly done film, there. Planning to make any more?
Title: Re: Need International Voice Actors For Personal Project
Post by: WartyX on June 18, 2011, 02:26:25 AM: Well, this one took me half a year to make, so I don't expect anything of this calibre for a while. I will definitely be doing smaller projects, and next year I'm doing a Digital Effects course at university, so I do plan to do this pretty much for the rest of my life ;)
Title: Re: Need International Voice Actors For Personal Project
Post by: Red_Stinger on June 18, 2011, 10:39:26 AM: OMG! That's awesome! I wish I could contribute to your work, but well, I'm too late :P

Great work, I detect talent there WartyX !! :D
Title: Re: Need International Voice Actors For Personal Project
Post by: Sommarkatze on June 18, 2011, 02:36:53 PM: Awesome! As a moviemaker myself I know what a job there is to make a movie like this so really good job ! :D

Yeah haha, we used that jacket quite a lot actually. We did have a limited budget ;)
Title: Re: Need International Voice Actors For Personal Project
Post by: Mertypro on June 19, 2011, 09:37:04 AM: May I ask how much does the production of the film has cost? :-X
Title: Re: Need International Voice Actors For Personal Project
Post by: WartyX on June 19, 2011, 08:47:52 PM: It cost about £100 (€113/$161) for props. The rest of the props were borrowed from friends.

Beer and food to keep us content during the long hard hours of editing was about £120.

So overall it was about £220.

However I also bought a new camera costing £2,300 but that doesn't really count, because I will be using it on other projects for 5-10 years.
Title: Re: Need International Voice Actors For Personal Project
Post by: pariah on June 19, 2011, 08:53:26 PM: Spending over 2000 pounds on a camera, i would hope to be using it for more than a decade! :o
Title: Re: Need International Voice Actors For Personal Project
Post by: WartyX on June 19, 2011, 09:32:00 PM: Camera technology is moving very fast! I bought a camera 5 years ago and it was already outdated in 2 years, because it was just before HD started becoming cheap. I was thinking 10 years was optimistic ;)
Title: Re: Need International Voice Actors For Personal Project
Post by: pariah on June 19, 2011, 09:36:20 PM: Yeah, but the quality was excellent, especially for an indie film. Unless that camera breaks, i see no reason for you to need to buy another 1. Unless you plan on getting into this "3-D" bullshit, but i'm sure you're better than that... ;)
Title: Re: Need International Voice Actors For Personal Project
Post by: WartyX on June 19, 2011, 09:50:30 PM: Haha, it's enough work using just two dimensions!
Title: Re: Need International Voice Actors For Personal Project
Post by: Gerrit 'Lord Rommel' G. on June 19, 2011, 10:07:22 PM: 3D is no bullshit ;D I love 3D ;D

And WartyX: It is amazing. I would be happy when i could make such a movie xD I wish u a lot of fun with the new camera and the new projects!
