We look forward to hearing from you!
I am looking for a 3D generalist to work on a single VFX shot for a short film.
The shot involves modeling, texturing, lighting, and animating a small flock of birds. I am open to the possibility of purchasing an already existing bird model, if we find a model that you, as an artist, will be happy with, – in which case you’ll just need to adjust the UV maps, light, and animate the flock.
The shot is fairly short (no longer than two seconds), and no heavy-duty rigging needs to be involved, as the birds fly away and disappear in the branches very quickly. The camera is locked off, and no tracking is required. You also won’t need to worry about any compositing-related tasks.
This is an indie short, and I cannot pay industry rate; however, you will be compensated for your time.
Please respond with your rates, experience, and samples of your work to woodsoftomorrow@gmail.com.
Thanks!
Michael
