Today, I am proud to announce the starring cast of characters who will be featured in the first episode of Colonel Bleep and the Uncharted Earth! These actors worked hard to pursue their roles, strengthening each character’s dialogue and personality.
Cadet Lucius Morningstar
VA: Henry Barrows
Growing up in Futura, Lucius was known to be a gifted child prodigy, which allowed him to skip a few grades ahead during his schooling years. When he hit puberty, he eventually gained the powers of a super soldier, including enhanced speed, strength, and agility. But that was all thanks to being created in an unethical lab operation and losing his parents shortly after his birth. Despite living the life of a lonely orphan, Lucius had always dreamed of being a space ranger. He attempted to pursue such a career once he enrolled as a space cadet at the Futura High Command Academy at 18. However, his day attending the school’s orientation would not go as perfectly as planned.
Cadet Etoile Feu
VA: Jaxon Stallings
While trying to adjust to his new life in the Academy, Cadet Feu is disrupted by Cadet Morningstar, who only wants to build a nice friendship with him. Although he can be rude, snobby, and impatient, Feu is just too clever and attractive for Morningstar to leave behind. Yet our protagonist is unaware of the suspicious tricks Feu has hidden under his sleeve.
Regarding the episode, a full-on storyboard sequence is in the works. The plan is to finish it by December 9 before 4:00 pm due to a critique for a storyboard class. Unlike most storyboards, this one will be drawn in full-color frames, thus resembling more of a comic strip with its panels shaped in various ways. Of course, I will not share the storyboard until after the episode is complete due to spoilers. As soon as it's over, I will continue animating the episode while attending another class: Advanced Transmedia: Animated Short Film.
