Sijun Forums :: View topic - GvD (A screenplay and a storyboard... animators?)

piousbox · Posted: Mon Aug 30, 2010 9:05 am

hello all;

I have posted here a few times; I'm not a designer and I do visual stuff more as a hobby than a full-time job. In fact I work as a programmer and nowadays commit pretty much all of my time to that.

That said, I have written a screenplay and made a storyboard for it. It took me a lot of time and effort and I don't want it to go to waste... However, I don't think I'll be able to animate this short myself without help. So if anyone is interested in producing animation for this short (originally I thought of making it in 3D but 2D is also fine), please feel free to post here your sketches or ideas... Or PM me if you want a more involved collaboration. One nice lady would maybe sponsor it, and I can maybe have a small distribution network local to Chicago.

I would really like for someone more artistic than I to pick up this project; it'd be a shame to see it go to waste. The speedpainting IV thread was a great source of inspiration for me awhile ago and that is the reason I'm posting here. If something like a speadpainting thread happens around my narrative, it'd be great Wink

Wow... (still reading)... Smile

I'm not an animator (yet; hehe)
but I think this is an amazing accomplishment in itself.

Whether or not anyone is available or willing,
might be good to have a plan B? Graphic novel?

Would be a shame to waste it, agreed. Smile

Second thought: another option would be to train up to it (do it yourself). Looks like you've got the raw talent (and adequate determination/follow-through). Obviously that involves a decision re which is more important to you (as a spare time activity), the programming or this.

My two cents. Smile

@durgldeep thanks for the encouragement, dude. Another option seems to be to seek funding and pay someone to do it. I think I'm better at narration than visual design anyway. And yes, there's always the issue of not having enough time. I guess I'll just be posting here whenever any progress is made. ;-)
