Alright guys, I'm calling it.
I'm starting production on this video in about a month, with or without the models you fans have offered to provide. If you want to see your work in the spotlight, now's the time to get it done!

As such, it would be prudent of me to finally tell you guys what this short film is about.

It's an Oddworld game show called "Name That Trauma!", based on an early concept that was ultimately never used in the final games. Mudokon slaves are tortured behind curtains and the contestants have to guess the means in which they're being tortured.
In case you haven't figured it out yet, the Slig with the suit and tie is the host.

The Glukkon pud is one of the contestants, and the only non-Slig competitor. He's just starting out in the business world, and is trying to win some money to get himself off the ground.

For the most part, the short film will be CG game show craziness. At the half-mark, the show will be cut by a commercial break, which will consist of live action footage of myself and others advertising Vykkers Labs and RuptureFarms products, not to mention, the Oddworld games themselves.

When the video is complete (which wont be for a few months at the least), I plan on showing it to Lorne, using Xmobb. I had a chat with him on Facebook about it and he was very supportive. You will all be credited for your contributions to the final video, if you finish them that is. ;)

If that's not motivation enough, I'm not sure what is.

If anyone else has any talents they think they can offer, the position is still open, the more work you guys do the less the TritinFilms staff has on their plate, and the quicker the video will get made. Specifically, I need a good environmental artist.

Lauric, I'm looking at you.

It's not much of surprize, one could guess that from the slig artwork. Still a good idea, though :)

If days were 72h instead of 24, I'd probably work with you !

I'm really running out of time, sorry :/

I'd be willing to accommodate your schedule any way I can, even if it meant waiting a few more months. Even a low poly construct would be a good start, my team is pretty good at filling in the blanks.

Maybe money might be the grease for the wheels.

If I had money to pay people, I'd pay people who actually do this for a living. I'm giving fans an opportunity to be involved here, and I'm sticking my neck out to collaborate with amateurs. Like I said, if nobody here has something substantial for me within a month, then I probably will just end up paying some people to do it. :p

Personally, money is not at all my "grease for the wheels"
All I've done about oddworld stuffs is deep passion

It's just that I really don't have the time. I sware ! I couldn't do it even if you pay me, so that's not the question ;) but thanks again for your proposal, it's very nice ;)

You should try to find some people on others forums (if you still do not find here) more specialised, in 3d for example, be sure you'll find what you need :) We'll be standing here for any support !

I was wondering if I could perhaps use your amazing flying slig, Lauric. I'd love to involve your work in this project somehow. So if you can't do something custom, I'd love to use something you've already put the effort into :)
