3d Visual graphic/artist

Posted in: The Job Lot
I need collaboration to build and finish a 2 minute experimental video with animated words in different situation, the words are main characters and your work needs to communicate their conflict and emotions. I need to give life to the letters and words so they will be able to interact with the footage in a surprising way.

This is not a pay job. I am planning to submit to festivals asap.
I will prefer somebody, or a team, based in Los Angeles.

I am looking for thinkers and creative people rather than only great doers obeying the rules. If you have some extra time and are dying for some challenge and are willing to work in a love labor contract with me, please write me. Send me a link of your work to see if we can be a good match,

Is a plus if you are moved emotionally by social injustice or believe that social change and peace is possible.

Thanks
