Hi all,

I am starting a new short with a working title "Goblin Encounter".
It will be a fantasy based short with around 30 shots that will be animated.
In short it is a story about a dwarven scout who encounters a group of goblins in machine testing.
I worked as a action director and an animator in a few online projects and on a short movie which entered a few festivals(Dove sei Amor Mio.).
The script is completed along with the shot list.I am finishing the storyboards and environment concept at the moment and am looking for people to join the team.We will be using Maya for animation and rendering.
It does not have to be full time if you can give it an hour it is enough.I am starting this for my own personal satisfaction and if you feel like joining to develop your skills and have fun send me a PM.

Here is a concept I doodled for the dwarf:

So what positions are available:

Character Modeler
Environment Modeler
Character TD
Animator
Lighting artist
Sound designer

Well looking forward to seeing this project finished so everyone who contributed can be happy they have a finished piece on their hands :)

Is anyone up for prop/weapon modeling? :)

Hey Dilen,of course.Glad you are eager to help out some more.

So here are the two models we have so far.

And the catapult modeled by dilen

tanylweatherly started working on the goblin model so expect some updates soon.

Also we are looking for someone who knows his way around dynamics in Maya.There will be shot of a outpost tower hit by dilen's catapult so we would need someone who is up for the challenge.:D

We need someone who would like to join as a texturer for environment and in this case the catapult and weapons.If anyone is interested you can PM me or reply here.:)
I can send the catapult model straight away.

And also we are in need of one more character modeler.
If anyone is interested shoot me a PM:)

Looks good. Will you be using your own computers to render, or are you going to use something like ec2?

FeCyril

Cool. :) When the rigs get to you, it would be best to email them to me instead of posting on here, just to be sure that I get to it in a timely fashion.

Thanks for the opportunity!

Hey Dan Ive sent you an email.:D

So some updates.
We have an animation test for the catapult(Rigged by Dilen,who did an awesome job) almost done and the environment is nearly finished(needs texturing).
One thing that is lagging behind is character models.
The dwarf is being worked on,also the mechanical bird.
If anyone feels like helping out we need someone to model a goblin.:D
Considering its a collab I would say we are keeping a steady pace and would like to send a sincere thank you to everyone who is dedicating their time to this project.:beer:
