The Cradle: Unsouled Animatic is live now for everyone to see on YouTube! Link in bio.

This is the two-hour animatic movie adaptation of the first two books in the Cradle series funded by the Kickstarter campaign we ran in 2024! Enjoy this journey through Unsouled and Soulsmith.

This animatic was directed and hand-drawn by veteran animators Jay Oliva and @davidhartmanart of Lex + Otis Studios. It includes an original score, and a top-notch voice cast featuring @matthewmercervo, @blumspew, @travis_baldree, @kariwahlgren, @phillamarr, @maxinephoenix, @mattyangking, @barakamay, @morlavox, @sumaleedotcom, and more.

The script was written by Will himself with the help of Cradle fanatic and writer/producer Cory Gustke. Original score composed by Frederik Wiedmann.

Even though it is black and white and hand drawn, we would rate this as PG-13. There is quite a bit of violence.

An “animatic” is the step before full animation. Since it is hand-drawn, the characters aren’t visually consistent from scene to scene. If we were able to pair with a studio to fully animate this project, the characters would be “on model” and look consistent (like our fully animated concept trailer on our YouTube channel) and the motion would be fluid.

We have real hope of that happening because of the funding of this animatic project. Thank you to everyone who donated and made this happen! by @willwight110

I’m New York Times Best Selling author Will Wight and I have two goals: write fantasy novels that read like anime and stack them up real high.

You can find my books on Amazon/Kindle, @audible and whatever site sells physical books. Most would say you should start with the Cradle series.

If you already know this, please ignore this social media intro video and go back to your regularly scheduled Oreo consumption. by @willwight110

@willwight110 never expected #Cradle to blow up.

He also never expected to become half of LitRPG’s favorite power couple. But hey, it’s canon now.

Why start at level zero when your #LitRPG protagonist could come with a lifetime of experience?
