Positions for collaborative film

#26

OK. The timeframe definitely needs revising, but we need to have a set idea as to when people can start working and have general deadlines, otherwise some parts can go on forever. You are never completely finished. I think we should start on the screenwriting/storyboard on the 8th of May and discuss this in a separate thread. The screenwriters and the storyboarders will work together.

Once we have an idea finalised, we can estimate how much time it will take us to work it through and set reasonable deadlines. This project will probably extend until Christmas, now that I think about it properly. If we can get a good film done by the New Year, I’ll be happy.

How does that sound to you guys?

Let’s not forget one thing. It doesn’t have to be Academy Award material the first time. I hear stuff about quality and timeframes. They’re important but too much professionalism can be a killer sometimes. We simply can’t think of every single problem we’re gonna run into in advance. We’ll just have to take it one step at a time and tackle some things when they arrive.
If the basis is good (the story) we’ll be halfway there I guess. And we’ll learn and improve for future short-movies. Or do we think this is a one time happening ? I’d love to see it come back like twice a year.

#28

Yeah if Kirt is willing his story kicks ass , too bad we couldnt find the time to work on it.

Re: THX1138.

I agree. The main point of this project( whatever it may be ) is simply a team-experiance, and to enjoy each others company. :beer:

#30

Do we have a list of possible people/assignments yet?

#31

Please, let’s start production after the M&S-challenge :smiley:

#32

Re: SovereignKnight.

To be upfront and honest - I think we should be patient until Leonard or Mark Snoswell gives us their thoughts on this project. :thumbsup:

#33

I’m up for modeling, but I am able to animate if needs be.

Also, what about sound people? Or does sound come under post?

#34

I’ll be up for lighting mainly and post if needed as well.

edit: I use XSI primarily.

#35

Yeah, nothing scheduled before the M&S deadline, please :]

I think this could be a lot of fun. I’ll do better work if I have a couple of characters assigned to me rather than a whole bunch of ‘stuff’. I don’t do vehicles and whatever a tenth as well as I do characters… so if it’ll be a movie with tanks and big warriors going at it, I think I’d better watch from the sidelines :]

#36

Great idea.

I’m up for some modelling though may be best on props and such that don’t need to be deformed (guess there won’t be much need for that if you go with the square peg through round hole story :slight_smile: ).

I use XSI and ZBrush.

#37

I’d love to help in any way I can, but I’m new to alot of this. I’m working on my modeling skills in Maya at the moment. Just thought I would throw this out there in case some help was needed.

#38

Greetings, guys!

I’d like to help in this venture. my skills are modeling and texturing. But only after M&M’s deadline :love:

cheers!

#39

I want to write for a while now, for a change. I’m sick of modeling and painting. Can’t say how much time I’d have for it though; my schedule is never really very open, and periodically it gets REALLY bad. :slight_smile:

#40

I agree, I gotta get the stubborn piece over with :argh: :smiley: …

#41

I would also love to help. But as many others I got full time job but I will do my best. The problem are 3 months (jun, july august) where I won’t have any free time at all.but after it can again do something after work. I’m working mainly in 3dsmax, vray. I would love to make light but I guess you want to use maya mr and not vray=). So I can do model and concept.

#42

I’d personally be up for lighting (Maya), or post (After Effects, Final Cut Pro). Think there’s more than enough riggers, modelers and animators on-line already. :slight_smile:

Looking at the timeline, I noticed that it was staged to jump directly from lighting to post. Methinks a little render time might be in order (that needs to be a task in and of itself – render wrangling), and I’m inclined to agree that another week at least needs to be added to to animation round. It would be one thing if we were all in the same office going over dailies etc.

Has there been any consideration given to music/foley/etc?

Oh yeah, another voice of agreement to wait until after M&S!

#43

I’d love to do lighting, max is what I’m used to but I can probably learn whatever is necessary :slight_smile:

#44

I won’t be in on this as I don’t have the time but would love to help out in the future, so it would be cool if the guys working on were able to post stages so we can all see where its going and us cheerleaders can help out in a small way by commenting and such.

Actaully I might be able to spare abit of time for the 2D layout shots, but having never done any 2D layout shots before I’m not sure its such a good idea to leave me on my own with it. Also on the cheerleader note I call top of the pyramid! :stuck_out_tongue:

#45

If there will be time for experimenting I’d also love to learn some new soft. Maybe that way I will be more determined to finally discover some good points of maya ;).
