BT if any of you has an idea, and need to storyboard it, drop me a line.

As soon as I come back to DC I will post at least two more storyboards.

#23

but if you want to then do you want a script or somthing?

i think that i can do it but i am going to do it with a digital camera and some action figures… with a little photoshop help as well…

when do they need to be up by?

Thank you very much for the information about Kirby dots

#25

Naughty boy!

#26

I have a short film that I have been wanting to make for a while now and this would be a great reason to do it. I want opening credits and music and all that though, so what are the rules on that? Can I use copyrighted music?

#27

“You may use a pre exiting models and filmed footage, as long as you have the rights to use them. If you use pre existing material CREDIT the source.”

The key here is you have to have RIGHTS to use the work. It is amazing what you can find on the web, many times I’ve found an artist that isn’t well known who will give me written permission to use their work providing they are credited and sometimes a link is pointed to their site.

#28

I will keep an eye out for this one - wish I had the time to take part, should be fun to see how everyone else does!

#29

I read through everything pretty carefully but I may have missed it—is there a maximum run time for the final piece?

#30

Well as long as you can make it.
Keep in mind you have ONLY TWO months to do this.

#31

Thanks Roberto—looking at 1.5–2 minutes which should be doable.

#32

I drew some story boards, so Ill post some updates soon.

BTW
If people want to animate individual gags, they can do so.

Some gags:
A strong guy, lifting a car
A Strong guy punching holes in wall

Etc…

-R

#33

I’m in. Yikes!

WIP

#34

I will be posting some storyboards for simple gags tonight.

And people dont forget, this thread:

SUPERPOWERS SIGNUP LIST: Post here those who are looking for partners/teams

We have an idea, in the first stages, for those still looking for teams…

#35

hey everyone, i am still rather new to cgtalk and i am a bit confused… i really wanna take part in that challenge and do some animation… do i just wait untill someone asks me to animate for them?

#36

You can do solo work, but keep in mind that we are doing a composite work.
Animation is ok, but you need to have live action in your scene, (you can record this with any video camera.
For example a guy that has electicity based powers cooks a flying dove,
etc…

-R

#37

ahhhh ok so its not a full cg sequance is it?

#38

no, cg over filmed elements, I suppose you could do it with out a 3d package at all, if you were so inclinded.

#39

Ok here is freebie for an animator who might want to join us.

as i said i would love to animate the robot in your example but i just don’t wanna do any modelling or rigging or composting, just animation so if anybody wants me to help here i am…

“You could record yourself hitting air” no way i might cause a reaction causing the planet to blow up… (sorry i was trying to be funny i suppose that didn’t work…)
