I send you some little information about project. GENERAL INFORMATION: Project philosophy is to connect people around the world, their imagination, abilities, creativity and 2D/3D mode- ing and animation art, to work on collective project, to make fuly rendered fantasy movie. Fun is a primary aspect of this project. It means this is not a paid job. Many people make amazing things just for fun and this offer is for them. For all who want spend some of own free time for collective work. Maybe few hours monthly. Fun is most im- portant. WHO IS WANTED: In fact, everyone who be able to help. Novice, advanced or professional, it doesnt matter if you want work with others for fun. If you want acquire some experience to your poten- tial future job, this is one of possible ways. WHAT SOFTWARE: I know that many of people are users of many different soft- ware and many of you havent acess to high-end software like Softimage 3D/XSI or A/W Maya. We not prefer any software, but most important is import/export ability. Maybe is my thoughts wrong, but I think that most people use 3D Studio. So, we could use 3D Studio MAX, Lightwave, A/W Maya; Poser, Bryce or some other softs is maybe useful too. If you are using Soft- image, now we are not decided in use with, because we know nothing about export/import tools of Softimage. Maybe you be able to help us with this problem. Please mail us with needed information, if you be able. WHAT IS YOUR POTENTIAL HELP: To create needful 3D models and textures which will be used in final scene. To animate scene effects and characters and other aspects of final scene Possibly to use your hardware and software sources to final rendering. WHAT IS A MOVIE STORY: Movie story is based on the novel "Dragonbone chair" from Tad Williams. Its not necessary to know this book, but recommend you to know this story for your better imagination of story world. PROJECT STATUS: In this time is project in pre-production phase. We working on screenplay and make storyboard with detailed description of every scene. Dialogues included. If you want to participate on this project, please send me an email with some information: 1) What software you be able to use 2) On what you want work,if you interested in 3D modeling,ple- se write whot is you favorite? For example architecture, nature, characters, character cloths, weapons or other items. Please write only things, that you be able to make. Little practice is welcome. Please remember, little things are needful too. Structure of project working is not finished, maybe small groups to work on same scene. I prefer democracy and if you have any comments or ideas, please mail me. In this moment is this mailing just test of people interest. This project is matter of long time and Im afraid, that cannot be finished without help of many people. Please be patient. Project Leader mailto: dragonbonechairproject@seznam.cz
