Short/Demo film…

Hello! I’m new to the forum. Been browsing for a bit and love what I see. I’m an actor filming The Three (www.thethreefilm.com) at the same mine as George Romero’s Day of the Dead, starring opposite John Amplas and Lori Cardille. While on our down time filming we got a really great idea for a feature film. So we’re allowed to film a demo short in order to show the studio what our vision is for the feature film. This demo short isn’t attached to The Three film at all only by me and fellow producer Robin.
We’re filming a live-action dark intense HD action film with several zombies. It’s based on a very popular video game not Resident Evil. We can’t indulge which video game we’re filming yet unless you are working on it. What I’m looking for is someone to handle the CG effects. As for the CG effects we’re looking for freezing/icy effects over several characters, a chain with a hook whipping/flying through the air, and blood splatters. If you can also do fire on a character that will be a plus but now a priority.
We are only filming a demo short for now so funding is very limited. We can guarantee credit and a copy of the film. You’re work will be looked at for the feature as well. You will definitely get exposure for this demo film. Feel free to email me. Thanks!
