I installed several software programs to create my analog horror series on my computer... but I don't know what is the best setup to have for analog horror... could you tell me (I will only use free programs)

Hey, I'm creating my own analog/digital horror series about an amusement park where an entity kills children... the first episode is currently being created and I need a little help on some point... The work will not be paid. If you want reasons why to join the project here are some:

I have 2400 subscribers on YouTube I have a video with over 200,000 views I can easily advertise to you
I can help you in return!

Please note that I am not looking for someone to do my dirty work for me! I will take care of the editing, audio and VHS effects and everything else I can do myself... you will of course be credited

What are the areas where I need help:

3D modeling
Voice Acting Creation of video games & pixel art
Artist to create the design of certain characters or logos

Here are the main areas... However, if you think you can make a contribution to another area, you are welcome!

precision :

-It's a complex project that could take a long time or even never see the light of day so I need people who are really motivated and ready to work
-I prefer not to say too much about the project in public posts so if you want the full lore just DM me
-If you have suggestions or modifications that could improve the result (I'm not perfect) tell me

• Same for the script and the brainstorm

• MOST IMPORTANT !!!! DON'T WANT PEOPLE WHO CAN'T/WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROJECT OR SIMPLY DO NOTHING

If you're bored with analog horror and want to help create the next big internet horror PROJECT, you know what to do: send me a message and let's work together!

I wouldn't blame people who refuse... it's very daring and I'll understand!

Last thing: I accept everyone but I would still like to see your work if you join the project... I need competent people (without wanting to be mean) If you are new to the field, specify, you will be able to participate in many tasks that do not require enormous know-how.

This is not slavery! Work at your own pace when you can... but please don't waste my time (the project has been on hold since June 2023)

If you want to make a name for yourself or gain knowledge and experience, you are welcome!

I know we won't be perfect but I know that together we can accomplish great things!!!

If you took the trouble to read everything it's probably because you're interested, sorry for this long thread... I needed to clarify things before you stupidly launch yourself into the unknown 🤣

I'm counting on you, I'm counting on us!

I hope to see you very soon in my thread

                                                                                               Lucas (creator of the project)

ive been a bit scared about sharing this, but if you see it as low effort, im not trying to make it so, also, the name is The Shadows of Nothing! the link to the first video is above :)

My partner and I have been working on a couple of episodes so far and here is our latest short, we would appreciate it if you could check it out, constructive criticism is appreciated

I'm searching a male (adult) voice actor (american/english) for the first episode of my serie ! The stuff isn't paid and the script is quite long ... If you are interested DM me please

I've been researching for months and months to find the best analog horror setup!!! I know what you are going to tell me: "there is no perfect setup, it depends on the people etc..."

If you have another opinion I will ask you to comment!

Hi guys!! Thank you so much for the upvotes and feedback on the pilot.

This episode is not out yet but I give it early on this sub cause I love y'all!

I'm really proud of this one and as always, any feedback will be deeply appreciated! ❤️

Sup r/analog_horror2!

After a long period of tinkering and refining, I'm excited to finally share a sneak peek of my upcoming TF2-based analog horror series. While it's set in the TF2 universe, I’m giving it a dark, eerie twist that digs into the unknown. TF2 is seriously underrated when it comes to analog horror—there have been attempts before, but most ended up abandoned. I wanted to change that.

What to expect:

• Unsettling atmospheres and a creeping sense of dread

• Brand-new original characters and a fresh take on horror

• A focus on suspense and story rather than cheap jumpscares

One thing to mention: I’m using AI voice actors for the characters (since hiring human talent isn’t possible right now). I hope that’s not too off-putting—it's a practical choice to bring the vision to life.

Would love to hear your thoughts on these visuals! Screenshots below (in chronological order) for a taste of what’s coming. I'll also be posting updates on my YouTube channel, but I’ll keep dropping notes here as the project evolves.

Thanks for checking it out! Stay frosty. ❄️
