help with animation...

[Akira]

Hi all. I am still working hard on my first loop series and I am in need of some talented 3D animators out there. I wasn't sure weather this was the place to post but I thought I'd give it a shot.

I am in the process of setting up a website to promote my loop series/vj stuff but it will take a while. in the meantime, if you wanted to see some of my other stuff (to give you an idea of my style), check out my online portfolio at:

Thanks!

easy akira,

so you looking for 3d animators? What type of animation are you needing and what's it for, vj work?

having been floating around this forum for a while I think the general consensus is that animation for vjing is:

1. too dificult to make - rather like trying to read someones mind and then put on tape!

2. can easily be done with low end 3d packages, with a little practice.

3. high qual, bespoke animation i.e non fractal non kalidescope work takes a lot of creative energy so is expensive(sorry).

however i don't know what type of animation you require - so the above may not apply.

hope this helps you...

jah bless


by the way, i went to your website but couldn't access your portfolio! u sure its there! :)

Hey Rossco, don't worry about it, I've got a friend who lives relatively close to me and is getting very good at realistic 3D design (he's also been teaching me a few things along the way).

Yeah my portfolio is there, it just takes a while to load the external flash file into the existing flash file (it doesn't take you to a new page or anything).

Thanks.

my apologise akira,

just been back to your site and loaded the portfolio no prob - think i must have been too impatient last time.

I do a completely 3d animated vj show every 3 weeks. Rossco is right in saying it's difficult but i find the long hours pay off on the night. By doing this you have complete creative control over your show which means you have the ability to create a narative for your show. people also get a buzz out of knowing there seeing something especially made for them.

What do you want animated?

Whats in it for me?

check the golden deck

[rudehead]

golden deck?

does "the attach" file work?

[eXhale]

nice one rudehead, it must take a long time, do you actually get paid for the pre-production or do you do this for your own pleasure? :)

[rudehead]

no only for the show. I 'm building a folio for an animation course i want to get into next year. I tought it would be a good way to get paid for doing work i would do anyway. the good thing about making your own models is that you can use them again and again. I made those decks a year ago but since then i've used in about ten different projects.

if you like 3d animation check
