Background

The script for "Death in Venice" was written in 2006, and originally to be directed by the TMO director NeoNoir (http://www.tmunderground.com/Neonoir). Parts were cast and recordings were delivered.

Three years later, we've decided to resurrect the project gathering dust and direct this under the old Chat Noir Studios banner, as we ease back to making machinima. We'll be using Moviestorm and other tools to accomplish this task.

As our needs and script have changed, we are compelled to recast some of the characters.

Parts Taken

These parts have been recorded two and a half years ago. :)

MARC, opposite to Julia - AnotherNewDawn
SEBASTIAN - Kuroken
MELANIE - Dulci

You're right. I am talking gibberish….

Doesn't matter. Keep talking.

You wouldn't understand it.

Thanks, Lizard! I am feeling a bit rusty right now, but we'll be back at it in no time. :)

Initially this seemed to be difficult to film (w/ Moviestorm, that is), but Kate tweaked the script and it seems manageable now.


i will send my lines for CLAIRE tomorrow morning

We look forward to your audition, and welcome to the TMU! Not that I've been here long, mostly just lurking.

Kate and Sherwin returning to moviemaking - add in PMC's return and frankly, this is the best birthday present TMU could have gotten.

Welcome back, guys.

Thank you, Sisch. :)

The script is still being modified. We're trying to preserve the old lines as much as we can. But it looks like we may have to ask A_N_D and Ken a few more lines...

I'm happy to announce that the "Death in Venice" cast is complete! :D

We were pleasantly surprised by the number of auditions we received, and the decisions were very difficult to reach.

We applaud all of you voice actresses/actors, for your generosity and immense talents! Thank you! :clap:

Good night and cheers to all machinimators out there.

As usual I came across this thread a tad too late, but considering the god-like (and goddess-like) cast members you've already landed, I probably would've been too embarrassed to submit an audition anyways :D I'm glad you're returning to machinimaking, and resurrecting this script. Chat Noir films are always reasons to celebrate.
