Talking Devils Angels & Dating - Artists Wanted - July 17th, 2009, 08:20 PM

I thought I'd take the opportunity to show off my team's work in progress on 'Devils Angels & Dating'. We're a growing team of passionate artists working together to make this CG Short Animated Film, and we're looking for more talent.



Current opportunities include:
Character Rigging (Maya)
Texture Artists
Storyboard Artists
Sound Effects Designer/Engineer
Compositors (Digital Fusion or After Effects)
Technical Directors
Prop Designer
3D Modelers
2D Animator


Death was designed by me, modeled by Arthur Baranov and Iskander Mellakh, with textures also by Iskander.


These are my sketches for Cupid, we're currently looking for a modeler for him.

We've had an exciting year with most of the asset creation out of the way we're currently in the early stages of animation, debugging rigs and looking for any other issues that we might trip us up going forward. I'm currently planning to roll out Animation on a larger scale early in 2010, so that we can have our 30 second teaser trailer ready in the first few months. I'm going to start working on a poster which should also be a good test case to get a 'close to final' look for our characters.

While Devil and Death are having some more advanced functionality added to their rigs, Cupid is nearing an animation ready state. Devil and Death are already being animated in their first shots with only a few challenges, that our team members have gallantly concurred.

We've had some support from Keith Lango, and Digicel's Flipbook which has been a nice touch. We have over 240 videos and 540 images to look through, with over 140 members on the website. All very exciting but I just want to say a huge thank you to our regulars who have made the project what it is today. Have a wonderful holiday period.

In the mean time here's a few recent highlights:
Render tests:

Well what a month! We've been building up steam with the animation and I've been busy setting up shots for lots of new animators. We're actually at 25 active animators assigned to shots right now, but I've been trying to grow the team slowly in order to avoid over extending myself and neglecting anyone that's actually working on a task.

There was a new edit a week ago:

I'm twittering the highlights of our progress and various other related musings here:
https://twitter.com/michaelcawood

I posted up our entry on IndieGoGo which is a fund raising website for Indie Filmmakers. We might not raise any funds but it's still a good site to have a presence on.

It's really exciting to see the project progressing so well, thanks for the support everyone!
