It looks like we are moving towards Maya for animations. We used C4D in the past (and lots of other stuff) but I had held off using Maya since we where not looking to go main stream (it was just us, beside the cost!) but it seems getting good help with animation and rigging is much easier in Maya. Also as the scale of the project has grown (& gone somewhat main stream from a scope pov) it becomes clear getting others on board is a BIG factor. The script is going well and we got some help in the story-boarding and animations (and we will need more) but now we need to get our riggers in place (Maya). As I said this is still in the self funding state but we expect to be pitching big time by end of year and we already have some interest. We are moving ahead with Previs part 2 and modeling is set for additional cast but so much to do. If you know someone who has a Maya rigging background and can help please have them contact us at info@digitalsummit.tv

We are looking to form a social media group./dept that will drive interest in our film project and be instrumental in creating support and in crowdsourcing . This is not a simple one or two month project since the creation of this 3D Stereoscopic Animation film will take over two plus years to complete. Our approach to making this film is a hybrid approach using the morphing hollywood model combine with the evolving social media approach as a full partner. In order to do this we need to create a social media team that can help us navigate and get the people to notice and help us to achieve what “the Pros” don’t think is possible for an Indie group. We are also hoping to create a real model for others to follow and get the rest of the Indie filmmakers who want to create that impossible film a path which makes it real. This is not a one person operation. This mean having various members focusing on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Our own Blogs, etc . If you are interested in this idea and have chops to helps us evolve the independent film making process sent us an email at info@digitalSummit.TV with background, links, ideas and most of all why you think this is a good (or not) concept.

As you may know we are in the early stages of a previs for a pitch for a feature 3D animation which we hope to get going next year (see post below for video). This is still in the self-funded stage but we are moving along well and wanted to try and get some additional artists involved in the project. We can offer credits and some kind of stipend or cover expenses for the artist(s) we have an opportunity to work with. Once we get funding next year I will be able to explore other compensation options.
We live and work in the Rockaway NJ area but most of the members of our team are all over the tri-state and overseas. However,for a Storyboard artist we are hoping to find someone who is in the local area.
