Animated Powerpoint + VFX for AI presentation

Hi,

I am looking for someone to help me pimp out a powerpoint. Its short but the animation is key to its success… and its success may be key to the future of mankind.

We are pitching the future of computing as a whole and the use of AI to get things done for the regular guy so its a very touchy subject (what can i say, terminator made it hard for us AI guys) and so we need something slick and bad ass at the same time.

The job consists of a simple animated title/opening sequence, then showing someone entering 5 tasks they want to get done into a phone, and then showing them being done one at a time automagically.

Sequence is basically:

The title – needs to be cool, its really a fly-in/burn-in of the name of our software – have ideas of how we want that to look… less is more with good vfx!

The next slide is someone entering 5 tasks into their phone… again less is more so probably just a phone with a hand hovering over it

The next 5 slides each show the tasks getting done, we want it clean so against a white backdrop (powerpoint style but actually pocoyo syle*) with the phone on the left and ’24’ style animation showing the jobs getting done in popups on the right… then checking off job done before moving to the next one.

The last slide is the closing slide and we havent thought of it much yet – probably our company logo animated and some text saying if we beat skynet to it the world will be a safe place.

In summary the job is really really cool opening and closing logo animations and then clean animation and comping for the slides showing the stuff getting done, probably 3d with a 2d cartoon shader for the hand. because its simple its hard not to make it look tacky so i need someone who can do this stuff kick ass.

We are building a AI here so remember the future of planet may be in your hands, dont apply if you dont think you work can convince the president to help us.

This is paid work but not sure the cost of something like this is and we also dont have a massive budget. We also want it done in the next 3-5 days (yes a rush job)

Please email me if you are interested on karsten at silversoft dot com

Thanks

* for a idea of pocoyo style see http://images.easyart.com/i/prints/r…coyo-91952.jpg – not the characters but that kind of blank matrix look of a white background with depth.

Crowd duplication for ambitious spot – $12,000

I just had a freelance project fall in my hands the last 2 weeks that is pretty intense. The scope and timeline are both incredibly ambitious.

Here’s the idea of what we have going on. We have a 2.5 week turn (starting Monday) on a relatively large-scale/low-budget commercial we will be shooting at Qwest Stadium in Seattle, WA. We are going to be shooting a small sequence of a football game on a football field against 40-60ft length of green screen. We are also shooting other elements, such as coaches, fans, photographers, etc against green screen so that they can be placed in the background. I am looking for someone (or some people) who can help with BG tracking and replacement, adding the fans into the stands, coaches and photographers in the background, etc.

We shoot Saturday on the PhantomHD and would cut together the narrative in 3 days, then deliver plates (pre-keyed if necessary). I am not certain what the number of shots would be, but it’s an ambitious number. Some are fast moving as well as out of focus BG’s, so the detail in many of the shots would be easy to hide.

Anyway, the timeframe is from the 21st through the 1st of October for VFX completion, and at this point, we have a paltry 12K to work with. We might be able to get another 4K. I know the work is intense to tackle something this scale, but I’m hoping to find someone that sees the potential in some much larger work. This project was inspired loosely by Nike Football Write the Future.

VFX PAID WORK – 3D artist/designer/modeller for music video project UK (green screen)

Hi,

We are looking for a 3D artist, designer, character designer, modeller, etc for a music video project, shot entirely on green screen.

The music video has a futuristic theme; blade runner, alien, etc. A considerable amount of VFX work has already been done.

The music video will be broadcast (on TV) in the UK, India and Canada, the artist is an established (signed) producer. Your work will be broadcast and you will be given a credit, etc.

The director is also very established and known within the industry (not Hollywood).

We need help to complete the backgrounds, 3D models and animation.

We are based in the UK. This is paid work, however we are already over budget so this job won’t be paying thousands of pounds, a fee will be negotiated.

We are looking for someone who wants a ‘break’ or an opportunity. Looking to find someone who is eager and hard working and looking for an opportunity most importantly. We have several other videos that need VFX work after this one, so if you fit in well you could join our creative team and more work will follow.

If you are interested in getting involved please contact me with your information, show reel, work you have done, location, interests, etc.

Seeking small VFX Team for Creature Feature

Hi all,

I’m looking to put together a small vfx team for a creature feature/mockumentary. The chupacabra based film will be shot in the greater LA area, but thanks to the internet, the VFX team can be distributed. This is a small project where I’m looking for artists interested in 3d tracking, modeling, animating and texturing. I’ve been a freelance compositor for the last 5 years, but I just dabble in the 3d side of things, so I’ll definitely need help there.

This will be a great collaborative experience; a lot of fun. The project is in pre production at the moment but I’d love to get the VFX team together to go over the script and flag any problems and come up with solutions before filming starts.

Don’t be shy, if you’re just starting out.

If I left anything out just ask! Look forward to working with you!
