Lost in Minecraft



Who are we?

Lost in Minecraft is an upcoming cinematic series about the survivors of the crash of Flight 627 trying to find their way around the somewhat strange island they crashed upon. The idea of Lost in Minecraft was created by Joshua Slik, also known as IJoshFTW on YouTube. The first two episodes were shot, edited and uploaded, then the series took a break because of one of the lead actors and Joshua had to focus on school. Big Minecraft updates started coming out at rapid speed, including tools and areas that would have been useful to have had when they shot the first few episodes. So Joshua decided to completely overhaul the series, throw away the script and try to get a more professional and bigger crew than last time.

Lost in Minecraft's goal is to entertain the viewer, show them how to craft certain items, what you should do in the early stages of the game, while teaching them basic skills that will help you survive without any modern equipment.

I would really like to have you in the series, however Skype is a must.
If a voice actor doesn't have Skype, dialogues are going to be a pain.
And if a character controller doesn't have Skype, there is no way for me to direct that character controller.

Could you perhaps reconsidder using Skype, or would you like to suggest another free communication software?

I never said I won't use Skype, I'm more than happy to use it. It's just that as I stated, you won't be able to record my voice over Skype because these kinds of microphones have to go through my phantom power and mixer. I will still wear a cheaper headset so you can still hear me.

Oh, it's ok then. Can you send your Skype account and email address as a personal message, and you'll get an email with all the info you need.
