This project is ALWAYS looking for people to assist with different aspects of production! If you have interest in becoming a part of the team, see below!

If you are interested, please email production@themarkside.com or use the contact form below!

When applying for a position:

Voice actors: Please include a demo reel or examples of work you've previously voice acted in. Please only apply for a voice acting position if you are prepared to stick with the project long-term. At the moment, we are not readily seeking new actors, but feel free to inquire if you are ok with waiting.
Animators: Have experience working in Adobe Animate CC or Flash; (Any version. The .fla files are compatible with all versions) Please include examples of your work using the program and include various examples of your artwork. Looking for people who will be able to adapt to the artstyle of the series. You will more than likely be contacted for additional information.
Story Artists: No base requirements, though those who have experience working in Storyboard Pro will be prefered. Looking for people who can adapt to the vibe of the series and showcase a dynamic range of expressions on characters.
Staff Writers: Be able to work with others to formulate plot outlines and basic concepts. Most importantly, have a good understanding of the characters and overall plot of TMS.
Background artists: Have experience working in art programs with layer/folder functions. Exact program doesn't matter, as long as you're able to export a .PSD file. Looking for people who can adapt to lineless styles, as that is what the background style of the series is.
Other / Etc: Contact with what you're interested in doing and you will hear back from us.

NOTES:

Unless explicitly specified (such as certain voice roles,) you must be over 18 years of age to apply for any position. If it's found out that you've lied about your age, you will be removed from the production. We may consider people who are 16-17 if a genuine interest is expressed.
Keep in mind that the current status of any position you are applying for is unpaid, and if accepted to be apart of the team, any work is expected to be completed on your own time, soley because you wanted to do it. Deadlines are given, but are very flexible due to the nature of the production. Please be aware of this before applying to volunteer your time, and only do so if you really want to.
Payment status for positions may change as the series grows and if significant success is garnered, but as of now, there is little to no income being made from it. Any money that has already been made from the project has went into hosting the website, producing merch, and various other production costs.
Please mantain good communication. If you feel something is too much for you, you're burnt out, or you won't be able to meet a deadline, please contact Saveraedae as soon as possible so the problem can be assesed. Nobody deserves to feel overworked or stressed and additional time for you will be factored in as needed, but if you know you will be unable to accomplish something please let them know and be clear that you can't do it as to not prolong production time. Problems always have solutions, and they're always easier to be dealt with sooner rather than later.
Keep in mind that this project is long term and currently still in production; It is a full on series, not a one and done thing. As it currently has a very small team, production times will be LONG.
Again: THIS IS LONG TERM! Please be aware of this!! A good majority of the current crew / cast have been a part of the project since 2015-2016!
(This is mainly for actors) Additional content alongside the main series will be produced. (Comic dubs, one off animations, etc.) Please be prepared for this!
Please note that while this is not an NDA, you are not to leak any unreleased or in-progress content unless you've recieved permission. (And feel free to ask what you can and cannot show!) Doing so may jeopardize your position depending on the circumstance.
Animators: The amount of work you'll be given will be completely determined by however much you want to do, and deadlines will be given based on what works best for you. You may step down from your position without any questions at any time if you no longer want / are able to provide service any longer. The series is not fully animated, it is done in an animatic style with motion tweens applied to keyframes to give the allusion of a more fluid motion. (As episode 2 is not out yet, an example will be given upon request) Currently, all the animation work is done by one person.
Staff writers: Work will be done in the form of calls. We will work with eachother to formulate basic plotlines for episodes before the scripts get written. Currently, there are 5 staff writers and 1 lead writer.
Having a Discord account is not required, but preferred. It is much easier to communicate through Discord so everyone will be up to date with progress. If you don't have one, email is the next best option.
