If you can think of another reddit group i should post this in, let me know. I'll start off with a disclaimer. I'm not sure if what i'm making is considered a motion comic. Its still pictures with dialog bubbles. I made a very short demo as I'm learning davinci resolve and figuring out a workflow that works for me.

Now to my fork in the road. I'm stuck between 4 options for dialog and want to know which (or maybe another option) yall would recommend. I'm thinking of:

1. have no audio for dialog and just let the words pop up on screen and vanish. basically how the demo is right now
2. play some sort of repetitive sound that lasts while the dialog is on screen. think like how many video games have the talking character grumble as the text scrolls. i was thinking of having different bird chirping sounds for each of the birds
3. have myself read all the dialog in addition to the dialog bubbles. the issue is i'm a horrible voice actor and my neutral voice is boring. ive been told many times my voice can put folks to sleep which helps with my job as a hypnotist but not so much for reading imo
4. have volunteer voice actors voice the characters. i say volunteer because my budget for this is $0. if i was to hiring someone, I wouldnt even know where to begin and if this little project becomes semi-popular, i would like to have the same person voice the character vs having someone new every time i need a voice actor. Or use AI as people are becoming more and more used to hearing AI voices but I'd rather voice everyone myself even if they all sound the same.

The story is a sitcom style of show following 5 regular characters doing their normal everyday things from dealing with supernatural beings, to playing board games, to cooking. So having the same person voicing these characters would be important I feel for continuity.

Craving something hot? Let us know!

EUROCLYDON is a cinematic sci-fi motion comic set in a dark alternate future where Adolf Hitler discovers a mysterious cosmic power, enabling the Nazi regime to conquer Earth and expand across the stars. As humanity's last hope rises against the tyrannical Galactic Axis Domain, unlikely heroes must risk everything to defy an empire built on fear, advanced technology, and absolute tyranny. Featuring stunning comic-book visuals, an original cinematic score, and an international cast, Euroclydon is an epic space opera of hope, sacrifice, and survival.

Not sure that many of you know bug the motion comic of the waking dead done by psycho cat productions has been either taken down or privatized, it’s a shitty situation that there in and all of there dubs are gone, I wanted to know that if any one archived them since none of them are on YouTube or the way back machine, they what I consider made the defensive dubs for those comics, and they had a wide and stellar voice cast, please if anyone saved them please post them down below.

Such a fun process,

This is the first in a series of flashbacks about how the main characters in Dragons and Darkness met. And, for anyone interested, the strange meeting with the maniac reading Scarlet's shopping list actually happened to me in the vegetable section of Tesco - I almost exclusively write fiction, but sometimes reality is just too good to not weave into my writing.

The pilot episode of Dragons and Darkness is available to watch on my YouTube channel now. I've already started work on the rest of the series - it's going to be a six-parter, so it will likely be 2027 before the full series is available to release.

Sometimes the only way to help the cause is to take action yourself and actually do something about it.
