Our Spellbinding Lies / Episode 1: PILOT

Lies, vast or petty, have been persecuted by the death queen, Violet. When the universe is nearly free of dishonesty, a group of convicted liars steal Violet’s daughter, Celeste. Who better than the queen’s quirky girlfriend to fix this? But the rebellion isn’t as pure as it boasts; their ’heroes’ have dark secrets of their own... Based on the web novels of the same name, episode 1 (pilot) explores moments mid series. Should the animated pilot succeed, we’ll rewind to the ’ll learn that long story Violet mentioned... Welcome to Our Spellbinding Lies: Animated! We’re a small indie animation team working hard to adapt the titular web novels into an original animated series. What’s Our Spellbinding Lies, though? Our Spellbinding Lies (or OSL) is an original webseries that follows Violet, a quiet sorceress whose mystical skill is matched only by her hatred for liars. In her mission to purge dishonesty, she causes carnage, suffering, and much worse. OSL features villains as its main characters and explores mental health, familial ties, and the effects of lying. Glue it all together with magic and gore, and you’re in for something shocking! Please support indie animators and indie artists! We’re a very small team with very big dreams, and we need your help to make this a full series! Thank you for joining us on this quest.
