LOOKING FOR WRITING TEAM ✍️

[u/Gooberductions]

Hello everyone 👋

Gooberductions is looking for a team of writers to help out coming up with story, scene planning, and eventually writing script for the story.

It will be a 2 hour animated fantasy film that takes place in the Viking era (979), and on completion be released onto YouTube.

Genre : Fantasy

Goal : have a writing session 1 - 3 times a week, coming up with story and planning scenes. Hope to get to the script writing phase by the end of November

Experience level : no experience needed, only passion

Meeting place : Team discord or WhatsApp

Team size : me and 3 others (4 total)

a run down of the story, it follows two close friends Asgeir and Bjorn. They've just had their home destroyed in a drastic war, and have been forced to relocate to a much harsher conditioned land. Asgeir and Bjorn grow up in a low class chiefdom, until everything changes when on a lackluster mining session, Bjorn spots a strange light in one of the caverns, in which the entity attaches to him and grants him immense power and abilities. With it, he aids his village to improve and prepare for the winter by using the light to grow crops, heal wounded soldiers, and aid merchants voyage across the ocean for trades. Overall it looks like a blessing on the surface, however things would quickly go south when Bjorn shares half of the light with his close friend Asgeir. Not long after the village starts to thrive, Asgeir's merchant business begins to plummet as Bjorn uses the light to collect more and more ores, grow more and more crops, and heal more and more soldiers, his products become less valuable and such he loses business.  Eventually Asgeir storms away to start his own kingdom, leading to a rivalry between the two once close friends which said rivalry comes with tragic consequences.

If you’re interested in taking part, feel free to DM me at Gooberductions.studio@gmail.com for more info and entry details!

it's in the execution - but part of "it's in the execution" is "don't write a synopsis of a story that hasn't been executed yet"

what will end up mattering about the story is up to the writer

and if they have any talent or passion, it hopefully won't resemble the setting of a 2010s RPG videogame

"collect more ores" indeed. From a "cavern". We write what we know: if we're doing Vikings we should know about bog iron and the global import market

And then why commission new writing about Vikings when hardly any of the actual, real sagas of actual, real Vikings have been attempted in film yet.

This is for a paid gig right?

Odin help me. (unless it's set after about 950AD when I'm increasingly likely to be Christian)
