CASH MONEY for DECALING/MODELING EXPERTS

[Neeblesquibb]

Hey all.....

 

Although I am quite a fast learner, and if I had the time I would attempt it myself, I am looking for someone to volunteer there talent in decaling and modeling to assist me with my upcoming project.

 

The project is not completely animation based, however, there are some animated segments that I am using A;M for.

 

I have created a UFO ship that I am very proud of (unfortunately, right now, I cannot access it, and the guys at Hash are doing a great job in helping me out, otherwise I would post a photo, but alas, I cannot)... and I am looking for someone to "dirty it up", and make some minor modifications that they think it might need. I am not looking for true photo realism, in fact, somewhere in between reality and cartoon.... but it needs weathering and some creative touches which I do not have the time nor skill for at this juncture. Also, it needs some sort of propulsion effect, of which I have an idea of how it should look, but do not know how to achieve.

 

I will pay you for your work, although it may not be much (a few hundred dollars, at the most, depending on how good it comes out, of course) and you will get your name in the credits as well as a copy of the final product on DVD for your portfolio if you should have one. Interested parties should send me some demo work, and a brief description of how long you guestimate it took for you to achieve your demos..... also, tell me your locale... I am in New York, on Long Island.... people who live nearby would be advantageous, but not entirely necessary.

 

Although it is not definite, talented parties who get involved at this point might find work within this project as animators and such...... just a thought.

 

Without divulging too much info, I will say that this project is going to be alot of fun... and a very innovative form of entertainment.

 

Contact me here, or at my e-mail RAGNAROCKVIDEO@yahoo.com

 

thanks for your interest and time.

Thought I would keep my request fresh by adding another string....

 

How about some suggestions to get more responses to my offer?

 

Try to avoid saying "offer more money"... thanks.

A general outline of the project? Have you past experience of similar projects?

[Neeblesquibb]

Well, this is my first official project, but my proposal did get financial backing, and I'm in a good position for one, maybe two, grants, so...... someone sees potential.

 

I have worked in video for years. This is my first involvement with animation, however. This project does not have a large percentage of animation.... maybe 5% is animated.

 

Right now, I am wearing several hats, but as the project continues, I am finding other more talented and seasoned people to do the dirty work for me.

 

I have created this project, and will remain as producer and director for now.

 

By the way, here's a basic image of the saucer... it's quite simple, actually.

 

It's based on my original sketches, so it looks like I want, and the legs are boned and work how I want them to. Whoever takes the job might want to tweak my work, however, make things go a little smoother. I'll be adding a few things here and there, mainly, a cockpit that sinks into the front section, but not much more. The model is almost ready for someone to take over a finalize it for me. I'm not being lazy here, just looking for a more professional touch than I could give it at this point. I've sampled some animations and think I can handle it. If I learn that i am wrong, I'll be back here lookiong for another helper, but for now, I need someone to spruce this thing up, and make a few decals and such..... maybe create the three major poses this thing has.

 

I am serious about paying... so, if there is a talented person out there who just kind of fiddles with this program, here is an opportunity to make a few dollars in the process, and get your name in a production, even if it is merely a pilot at this point.

[Neeblesquibb]

I should also add, there will be more work to come.

 

There is already a new ship in development that will need a professional touch.

[Neeblesquibb]

Okay.............

 

how about SUGGESTIONS to other websites or Forums where I can find people willing to involve themselves in a start up project?

[Neeblesquibb]

.... and here's another photo, this time we've added the cockpit and landing feet..... and we've begun adding the "satellite" dish for the front of the saucer (under the chin).

Sorry you haven't gotten more responses; if I were a decaling expert I might help you out. But something to keep in mind is that most of the modeling/decaling experts on this forum are either a) professionals/studios for whom "a few hundred dollars" isn't worth the time spent, or b ) talented hobbyists who prefer to spend time on (and have the control that goes with) their own projects.

 

I fall somewhere between the two. But if animation comes along, feel free to send me a private message.

[Neeblesquibb]

Thanks for your reply.....

 

I know I'm not offering much, but I have a very limited budget, and I am doing the best I can.

 

I was hoping I might find a sympathetic professional who's been where I am, or even better an extremelt talented newcomer who would appreciate an opportunity like this.

 

By the way, there will be animation coming soon to do... why not send me a sample of your work.

 

I am trying my best to get as much as I can accomplished on my own, but the work is piling up quick.

 

Aren't independent productions great?

I've used a fair of decals, but unfortunatley am not an expert at it yet. But if you need any voices, i'd be happy to help out.

[Neeblesquibb]

Where are you located? And..... what movie is that line from?

I live in PA, near the Philly area, and that's not a movie quote, it's something that one of my friends said.
