I am sorry to announce that the PMP will not be continuing.
We started this project at the very beginning of the pandemic, when all of us had a lot of time suddenly available to invest in such a large passion project. But now, most of us have had to return to school or work, and we no longer have the wealth of time we started with.
If I had unlimited time and energy, I would love to take one last shot at seeing the project through to completion. Unfortunately, I am not at all in a place in my life right now where that would be possible. I believe many of the original members have also moved on to other interests, so we no longer have the team we once did.
I would like to thank the Anon who recently sent us an ask about the project status (and apologize that I didn't respond to it directly; I saw the notification, but I think tumblr ate the ask). Due to the project's informal nature, there was never any official end to it, so a post was never made to announce its discontinuation. Although I'm sure this isn't the answer you were hoping to hear, I appreciate the opportunity to offer closure on the project's status, and I'm very sorry to all of you who were excited to see the finished project.
Finally, I would like to thank everyone on the PMP team! I'm really glad I got to meet you all and to share this experience with you. You are all amazing and talented people, and I wish you nothing but the best in your future endeavours!
Portal Movie Project is now accepting applications for new members!
As can be expected of such a large passion project, there is frequent membership turnover, since people may find they no longer have the time or energy to commit to such a large undertaking. With this in mind, we have decided to open up applications for new project members! Details are below the cut, along with the link to apply.
Please note that our current membership is rather low, so the status of the project is uncertain. We feel it is only fair to let you know in advance that if there are not enough new members, we may have to cancel the project. Once applications close, we will make a post to let you know whether or not we will be continuing with the project, and what the next steps will be from there.
The deadline to apply is April 29th, 2021. Please note that we cannot offer any monetary compensation for participation in this project.
Basic application requirements:
You must be at least 15 years old
You must have discord and you must agree to the server rules (listed below). It is ideal if members can join discord calls, but this is not required.
The minimum time commitment is at least four hours per month, but obviously the project will take forever if that's all anyone can commit, so ideally we'd like people who can commit to several hours a few days each week.
You must be able to provide a significant contribution to one of the following teams: concept art, backgrounds, colours, scriptwriting, script editing, songwriting, song composition, singing, music production, voice acting, storyboarding, animation, or video/audio editing. Teams in bold are especially in need of new members, but there are positions available in all of these areas.
We are also looking for at least one team leader for most of these teams. Team leaders have knowledge in one of the areas listed above, but perform more leadership, motivation, and time management tasks.
Whether or not you're a team leader, we would like people who can work well with in a team, and who can typically get tasks done on their own by an established deadline.
It is also ideal if you are familiar with google drive, along with any software that may be necessary for the role(s) you are applying for.
Project Server Rules:
No bigotry (eg. homophobia, racism, transphobia, ableism, sexism, etc.)
No NSFW content (there are minors working on this project)
Try to avoid any potentially triggering topics. If they do come up, spoiler them and provide a content warning.
This project is not the place for fandom discourse. Unless it relates directly to the project, please keep discourse out of the server. Contact mods if a conflict is impacting your ability to work well with the rest of the team.
Just generally try to be respectful. There currently is not a strike system in place, and we hope that we won't have to implement one, but we will if it becomes necessary.
If you need to leave the project, please try to let us know. As this is a voluntary project, we understand if it becomes too much to take on, but it's helpful for us to know who is still on board so that we can apportion work effectively.

Thank you for your interest and support! We look forward to hearing from you.
