Animated Short Film

Hello all,

I am looking to recruit some help in getting a short film off the ground. I recently (over a year ago!) wrote a children’s story and would like to create an animation based on the same story. Here are the details;

  • 5 minute long short film
  • Low-poly, stylised animation
  • Rendered in Cycles

The story is based in one location and features three characters total. The theme is fairly dark; think ogres, ghouls and gruesomeness along the lines of some alternative children’s books. I’ve attached some initial concept art to inspire you.

This being my first animated short; I am looking for a handful of mature & experienced individuals who would be willing to commit to some time over the next 2-3 months to act as mentors and to help with modelling, texturing and animation.
If you look at my post history you’ll see I’m fairly experienced with modelling, texturing and rendering with cycles as I have professional experience with Archviz; but I am no character animator.

More info about me; I am in my late 20’s, from the UK, I graduated University having studied Film Production, I am an award winning script writer and I have some experience working on independent productions. For me this project will be a labour of love and I feel it has a good chance of success in the festival circuit when finished. All I have offer is credits/future royalties at this time.

I was going to take this on myself and you can see some progress in the links below. However, my hard-drive failed and I lost all of the source files. Yes, that actually happened.

If you have any questions at this time or you would like to get in touch, please do so.

Best wishes,

Marc

You are looking for investors, Marc (time is money, after all.) Sell the story.
Do you have a log line? A script? A link to the story?
