Helping Hands from 2004

T.L. Lance · August 10th, 2004, 07:10 PM

Just kicking this idea out there. I think it would be fantastic if anyone wanted some help in the writing department. Got an idea for a short but not enough time or patience to hack out the pages? Need to shoot a test scene with your new camera? Think it's time to shoot something written by someone other than yourself?

Well, I'm your man. I'm craving some experience in working with people outside my inner circle. All pro bono, of course. Valuable lessons to be learned, and like that.

Don't hesitate to send an email if interested.

If I where you I would describe what you are looking for a bit
better. Is this SFX or VFX? SFX is practicals with things like
explosions or sparks etc. VFX can be anything but is these
days nearly always "computer generated", whether it is a digital
matte painting or lasers or color correction or computer models.

Does anyone know where I can contact a freelance graphic designer? I need a 3d graphic/model to be incorporated into video footage. I would also appreciate any information on working with such media, such as importing it into After Effects and make the whole thing work.

Got one to do in Cleveland this weekend but thanks for responding - Good luck!

Nick Jushchyshyn · August 11th, 2004, 09:05 AM

I might be interested in helping.
I can handle most typical 3D-for-video requiremenst (including modelling, texturing, compositing and motion tracking), but if for some reason your particular needs are more complex than I can produce myself, I also know many other 3d freelancers and may be able to refer some one.
Can you provide more details about the project?

If email works better for you, remove the CAPS from this address to contact me:

Alain Aguilar · August 11th, 2004, 09:35 AM

Ok here is the deal.

I have a scene where there is a blimp flying slowly accross the sky in a video shot with houses and trees in the foreground. The blimp displays the words Some-Patch. Now, I mainly need just the blimp model with the texture and the words. I could try to figure it out on how to compoite it into the video, but if you have any guidance it would be great. I know there are sites that would sell the blimp model for aprox $50, but they don't have the words. Please let me know if this is something we can work on, and how much it would cost.

P.S I tried your email address with no CAPS, it didn't work.

Here is mine

Jeff,

Feel free to send me your info. No one should feel that I've set the bar too high. You must have some experience filming, a student film, experimental home video.

Either way, no final decisions have been made yet, and we have different positions available. We are looking for interested people to help out.

Thanks for replying!

Arthur

I live in north hampshire roughly an hour away by train.

If you can't find anybody, and are willing to pay for travel expenses I could possibly make it... But can only do weekends.

Shoot me an e-mail: ejjsproductions@yahoo.co.uk.

Nick Jushchyshyn · August 11th, 2004, 03:47 PM

I sent an email to you earlier today, but just wanted to post here to make sure you did receive it. The correct email address is DELETEnick@techvantics.com

Sorry about the typo in my first message.

Christopher Reynolds · August 11th, 2004, 10:16 PM

I'm in the Canton Area (obviously under my name) and am also willing to dive in with my XL1s to help those that need it. I want some experience. Currently, I've only one production under my belt, a music video with segments from a party on Memorial Day 2004, nothing big, but my girlfriend and I both worked very hard on it. Willing to work for the experience...my XL1s is signed by Bruce Campbell...and if that doesnt help picture kwalty, I don't know what will! :)

Nina C Frost · August 13th, 2004, 01:50 AM

Hi there,

I know of a friend who does professsinal 3D modeling but they are based in Singapore. Their works are great. You'll have to discuss the budget with them though. They've done some major work for television stations. Look for LIGHTS AND SHADOWS in Singapore. I think the blimp has to be in Alpha channel for it to be keyed out in AEfx.

Regards
Nina

Justin Sammarco · August 13th, 2004, 08:42 AM

Alain Aguilar · August 14th, 2004, 11:32 AM
