The original concept development thread: http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=380641
Premise:(for those that don’t want to sift through the starting thread) skydiver jumps from plane. unfortunately his chute doesn’t open. the animation follows is freefall encounters with bugs, planes, fellow skydivers, birds and whatever else we feel like throwing at him. this will be more fleshed out in the storyboarding.
There was a lot of interest in this short film project so I say lets push this forward with the skydiver concept. And complete it. What we need is some organization. So if no one minds, I’m going to step up and see what we can get done. Feel free to object and if anyone wants to do it instead, ok. But step up to the plate. 
So I’ve started this thread as a signup sheet. We need people to perform specific tasks/roles. And I’ll list them below. If you want to perform the specific task then post in this thread what you’d like to do and PM me with your email. I’ll place your name in the appropriate area. We will set deadlines and attempt to meet them if someone can’t perform the role they signed up for we’ll have to have someone step up and do it, replacing that person.
And the list (the number of needed does not matter, the more the merrier and the faster things will get done):

Ok. I think thats good. If anyone feels additional positions are needed PM me and I’ll add it. Lets not have further discussion on the film concept, etc. We finished that off on the other thread. Just signups and we’ll go from there. We aren’t going to worry about a project website or anything, we have enough here for managing things. We’ll worry about hosting the final film when we get near the end of completing it. Perhaps pMG will host it. Lets keep this thread friendly and focused so we can move forward.
