Scratch Movie: Quest for Bugs

scratchcode1_2_3

An official movie by the Scratch Team was rejected, so we're making our own! source

Plot

The movie stars Scratch Cat, Gobo, and their friends.
The story is about… well catching bugs lol. This mission gives the movie its title: *Quest for Bugs*.
There are 4 main areas in the movie:
Studio Mall – A bustling hub where Scratchers shop for assets and ideas.
Forums HQ – The central base for Scratch discussions, brainstorming, bug reports, advanced topics, and more!
Editor Lab – The workspace where people experiment with blocks to create projects and animations.
Project Island – A serene paradise that becomes infested with bugs.
The characters fight bugs in these areas. The bugs come from the Banlands, which the characters come to at the end to fight Kaj who is portrayed as a ghost Scratch Cat flying
Side characters like Scratch Jr. and Cosmicat make appearances in certain scenes.

Community Cameos

the forumers could make a cameo too. we can portray the forumers as different types of scratch cats, making scratch cat basically a species.
IF THERE IS A FORUMER CAMEO, MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE THEY CONSENT ON BEING IN THE MOVIE, WE DO NOT ADD ANYONE NOT CONSENTED

Wanna Join?

From now on, I will only accept people with a formal… well. form.
Make sure to include the codeword. The animators role is closed, but we could let you in if you are really worth it. We are looking for great, smooth frame-by-frame animation that follows the 13 principles of animation (such as easing, smear frames, anticipation, stretch and squash, etc.). If you want to sign up for code based animation, it must be really impressive, such as new effects, explosions, smoke, and things like that.

What do you want to be?:
How much experience do you have in that? Could you show some examples? (links):
What makes you think you are good for this role?:
Are you confident in getting accepted? Why:

Rules

Off-topic posts are NOT allowed on this topic. All posts on the topic should pertain to this movie, Quest for Bugs, and this movie only, except applications to work on this movie.

THIS INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO:
Making off-topic posts or posts that cause arguments
Any form of spam, including but not limited to blockspam, quote spam, king/queen no edit posts, or writing “lapin” constantly
Cursing or making inappropriate posts
Talking about controversial topics
Useless speculating about sequels
Disrespecting any rule in Scratch's Community Guidelines or Terms of Use, including mentioning unallowed platforms

THERE ARE NO OFF TOPIC POSTS TO BE CREATED IN THIS FORUM. Please report any off topic posts you see, as they are not allowed on the forums. You WILL get striked if you make an off-topic post. Offtopic can go in the studio.
For people who aren't part in development of the movie, please kindly refrain from posting or disrupting. It is fine if you watch and post your thoughts.
Please do not quote OP. or any large posts and make sure to snip. There is no consequence to this, but it makes it all less clogged and easier to read. To join as staff/cast, the codeword is tesseract. Hide this codeword in your form in a sentence or some other way, so don't make the codeword obvious.

Good and Bad Applications
Important note: These applications use “rhombi” as the codeword. “Rhombi” is not the codeword!

Example of a bad form application:

What do you want to be?: vioce actor
How much experience do you have in that? Could you show some examples? (links): i am new
What makes you think you are good for this role?: i want too voice act and i can do voices
Are you confident in getting accepted? yeah Why: idk

INSTANT REJECTION!
It had no links, spelling and grammar mistakes, and did not include the codeword. Does not show much effort, applicant seems lazy.

Example of a good form application:

What do you want to be?: Voice actor
How much experience do you have in that? Could you show some examples? (links): I’ve been voice acting in rhombi’s projects for 2 years now. Some examples of my work include this and this.
What makes you think you are good for this role?: I’ve had years of experience.
Are you confident in getting accepted? Why: Yes, because I sound very well on the microphone!

ACCEPTED!
It had good spelling and grammar, links to show their experience, and includes the codeword while hiding it in a sentence.

What do you want to be?: Voice actor
How much experience do you have in that? Could you show some examples? (links): I am new, but you have to start somewhere. This will be a great learning experience, like getting better at how to find the area of rhombi in math class! Examples
What makes you think you are good for this role?: I am comfortable with using my voice and can speak loud and clear. I also have good mic quality.
Are you confident in getting accepted? Why: Yes, I showcased my wide range of different voices in my example project!

ACCEPTED!
Even though this person is new, they were still able to provide good examples. They also stated many good reasons why they should be accepted.

I know this topic is harsher, and stricter, but it will keep things in order. I'm sorry, but it had to be done due to what happened to the previous topic. As much as I tried, it is unsalvageable.

What do you want to be?
animator
How much experience do you have in that? Could you show some examples? (links)
this studio is a game series of which i animated the whole thing. i also made this
What makes you think you are good for this role?
i can make some pretty good animations if i have enough time (i did the falling and spilling animation for the game series in like 15-30 minutes using the magic of the “duplicate costume” button)
Are you confident in getting accepted?
yes
Why?
because i'm
- pretty good at animating
- very creative
- fast at animating

wow, someone who knows the magic of easing, and the duplicate button! You didn't add the codeword, but yes you're hired! That spill stuff is pretty impressive

What do you want to be?: voice actor
How much experience do you have in that? Could you show some examples? (links): https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1114011237/
What makes you think you are good for this role?: scratch cat has a voice that sounds kinda like my own voice and my voice is in multiple studios
Are you confident in getting accepted? Why: yes because I can say ouch when scratch cat`s eyes turn from ovals to rhombi

unnor

suggestion: make the quote maximum 3 to 5 depending on the size of the quote string and any more will be reported and the start quote gets snipped by the scratch team

errrrrrrrrrrrrr
Your voice is really good, I think you'd be a good voice actor. I would like you to say some more stuff though, just to be more… sure.
