Hey people well its a new year and a new agenda for myself for the comeing year. Thats right a new agenda. And what might you say that is? Well I've decided I am going to make my very first animated movie but I am not a film maker nor an animator. I am an illustrator who knows a bit about the production process of films and how it all comes together. I can write the story and of course illustrate it and design the story boards and maybe even direct it. Well let me get to the point of this thread. I am looking for talent because I am only one person and one person can't design a film.
Mainly I need a team of good artist and when I say good I mean good.
The rest of the stuff that is involved makeing a good film is already taken care of. I have local talent for that. But as an illustrator I need a team of artist and what better to come here and request for artist all over the world to help me on my vision of my epic science fiction and fantasy adventure. Sure I can find local artist in my home state of North Eastern Ohio but I don't want to do that because there arn't many good Fantasy artist in my area and its all boreing corpret graphic design in my area.
Thats right I am designing an amazeing story that has to be on a DVD some day. Maybe it won't make the box office but it sure can become a DVD. I really don't know how long this project is going to take me but it will be a long time. In the next year I am going to start this by spending the entire year produceing conceptual artwork just to lay out my vision on paper. In the following year I will then cross my fingers start animateing it and putting it together as a animated motion picture.
What I am asking for you is, would you like to help me on this in the conceptual art stage of the project? There is no pay but there is expierence you can add to your resume. If you are intrested then PM me or let me know here and we will talk. But before you jump on board of my project I need to know a little bit about yourself and I need you to show me some examples of your work before I choose you to be a concept artist. I am looking for a specific style and I really only need maybe two artists. Whats worse is to choose someone who isn't relible and I don't want that. Mainly if for say I choose someone and that someone decides to help me on this what they would do is mail me their work and I would mail my work to them and we would simply colaborate online by e-mail and such ideas we can use in the art work. That was my idea here but if not thats fine. But here is the thing if we decide to mail each other our work. Do not on any circumbstances send me your original. scan or photogragh your work and take it to a printing place like Copy Max or print it yourself if you don't want to pay the fee and send me a printed copy of your original work. I don't want original work, when it comes to mailing I want to see printed copies xerox what ever, but never the original!
All I have to say is for those who love art and maybe even one day get into the business of the applied arts and illustration this can be an interesting expierence on how it works. I mean I am graduating college in the spring and this is my profession. originally I was going to do this, this year but I never got to it. I was so busy moveing out that in all reality I couldn't do remotely anything towards this. So now that this hectic year is over for me I have the time.
Think carefully about this don't just sign in just for the sake of art. Its applied art and I am looking for reponsible people.
