hi there people,

Nine Peaks is a graphic Novell made by Ingar K. Birkeland (http://forums.cgsociety.org/member.php?u=45458) which has been published in Norway.
The whole story plays in an old wild west ghost town, and after Ingar saw my current project with a couple of friends of mine (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=257860) he came to me and asked if a collaboration would be possible.

So now we're currently working together to get this story made into a film. But to really make this happen we need some extra people who'd be intrested in working on this project.

We expect the whole film will be about 30 minutes. What we really need is a complete town as realistic as possible.

If you are intrested in helping out and think you got the skills let us know.
For now we are in need of a couple of modellers with good texturing skills and someone who has some good anvirement skills.
The final project will be animated and rendered in Max, but any application would be ok to work in as long as the files are exchangeble (preferably by OBJ format).

Let us know by replying in this thread or send me a Private message.

Hi, Ingar here, adding some info on the whole thing..

What's important to say, is that this isnt a western movie. It's a horror movie set today, but in an old ghost town.

The storyboard for the movie is the graphic novel "Nine peaks", which was published a few yrs ago here in Norway. We follow the main character Ionah StChristopher, as he uncovers the truth about the old ghost town, which his great great grandfather was the founding father of.
As he goes deeper into the story of the town and his gggfather, he uncovers a cult of magicians worshipping a meteorstone (silicoid being) that has warped their minds. This climaxes and brings the town alive, before Ionah puts an end to it, with the help of his gggfather who seeks redemption through this.

About the movie: We're doing this as small as possible. The buildings are being made by Ferry and his team, I'm making the cinematic and main chars, and you can make everything and anything around it.

Since there's only 1 main characters and 2 sidekicks, I'll be animating most of the action myself, but there is a major scene, where we will need a lot of ghost characters moving around, doing their everyday thing. Texture isn't important (they'll all be transparent) but they should have walkcycles and maybe one or two other gestures.

Also, items from that era, be it a minecart, a deck of cards, chairs, a pickaxe or whatever, is also needed to make the atmosphere around the movie complete. It's a ghost town, so most of the major items are gone, but here and there should be found a few items..

I think that's all for now, I'll be back and add more if needed. If you would want to be a part of our team, send an email or PM either Ferry or myself, and we'll get back to you.
