Topic: "Silantro" - Pre-Production Update Page
With the indefinite postponement of Joe Brickmond: Episode #17 due to lack of time on the part of Amanda Allbee and several cast members, I am taking this opportunity to revive a six-year-old project that previously never progressed beyond the planning stage.
I am currently developing a fantasy mini-series titled Silantro.
PLOT OUTLINE
The basic plot revolves around a dragon named Silantro who must return the daugher of the King of England who was accidentally left behind in battle 17 years prior.
CURRENT CAST OF CHARACTERS
Silantro
Silantro is one of an endangered species of dragon. He is a gentle dragon, but the King and the kingdom have the belief that all dragons are evil, so in battle, he only attacks to defend himself. He constantly feels lonely, which is one of the reasons why he raises the daughter of the King.
Jupiter
Jupiter is the daughter of the King and Queen of England. During one of many battles between Silantro and the King's troops, Jupiter was born and accidentally left behind upon retreat. Because of the perceived carelessness on the King's part, Silantro takes matters into his own hands by raising her. He teaches her everything about the land and she believes him to be her father.
Unnamed rookie knight
This knight is one that is newly appointed by the King. He has many brilliant ideas, but because he is new, the King does not take him as seriously as he should. After being sent to battle with other troops, he sneaks off in an attempt to rescue Jupiter himself. He immediately falls in love with her upon finding her and is willing to do anything to keep her and Silantro safe.
Unnamed King of England
The King was once a mighty and powerful ruler, but falls into depression after losing his daughter and even moreso after his wife, the Queen, passes away. He has constant hope that his daughter is still alive and that he will one day be reunited with her. He suspects Silantro to have kidnapped her and always send troops to slay the dragon.
Unnamed right-hand man
The King's right-hand man is the villain of the series. Although he is always sucking up to the King, he frequently defies the King's orders. He hopes to one day destroy Silantro so that he may show the king that he can be a powerful ruler like [the King] once was.
NOTES
There are many things about this series that I will be doing differently from what I have done before, including the Joe Brickmond series.
Plot and tone of the series
Story-wise, I can best describe it as "Lord of the Rings meets The Jungle Book meets Princess Mononoke". I intend for the series to have a semi-serious tone, with some moments of comedy relief.
I intend for each episode to be 5-10 minutes long until the entire story has been told.
Voice cast
I will be hiring different voice actors for the characters (including the title character) in order for all of the characters to be distinct from each other. Once I have at least the first episode written, I will be holding auditions both on this forum and YouTube.
Music
I plan on having an original score in this series, including opening and closing themes.
The type of music I hope to have in the show is orchestral rock, with hard rock songs being featured occasionally.
This is all I have for now, but I will give more info on the series as I continue to develop it.
