Final Project – Austin

As a voice actor, I was somewhat disheartened I didn’t get to use my skills during our trailer group project, so I’ve decode to put them to use for my final project. I have two quite disparate inspirations for a short audio piece based on Cabin In The Woods: the website for the fictional SCP Foundation, and Harry Potter. SCP shares quite a bit with the underground facility of Cabin: a (to quote Welcome to Night Vale) “vague, yet menacing government agency” charged with containing and keeping tabs on all manner of supernatural and reality-defying beasts and substances (such as a staircase that seemingly descends forever, inhabited by a being that is merely floating eyes and a mouth, but no visible face or body). From the last book in the Harry Potter series comes PotterWatch, a sort of podcast run by the Weasley twins in hiding to keep the resistance against Voldemort informed of its goings-on. Combining these two ideas, I would love to do a short (5-7 minute) audio piece of the activity of the facility in Cabin. Could be a short prequel, as well as near the end possibly splicing in faraway bits of audio from the film, announcing the release of the zombie Buckner family as the teens arrive at the cabin. I think this would be a interesting day to imagine what the people at the facility might be up to before getting into “work mode”, and how dealing with possibly one or two escaped creatures might put a damper on their attitude for the day. I hope to be able to add in music and sound effects as well. I’d love feedback!
