Vehicle for the Soul

I am looking for a 3D animator in California.

3D animation and Special Effects
in a Short Independent Documentary
About Health and Wellness
in the 21st Century.

My Background & Experience:

I am a web developer by carear, but my life's purpose is to make Short Documentary Videos.
I have worked on a number of short video projects that use 3D animation.
My most successful documentary is called "Explorers of the Lucid Dream World."
The DVD sells internationally online through the websites I built: www.LucidDreamExplorers.com

Vehicle for the Soul (Work in Progress)

A short visual examination of the human body that uses 3d animation, formal interviews, and audience participation to demonstrate energy flow in the body and about techinques that promotes healing, and strengthens the mind-body connection.

This documentary will be free to watch online. Eextended interviews, and special features still cost a few dollars to pay for the hosting service. DVDs will also be available.

Here are some clips of animation we have so far:

Upcoming 3D animation sequences:

For the short documentary called "Vehicle for the Soul" there will be multiple 3D animation sequences that will require an animator. I have experience in Maya, so that is my prefered platform. I have purchased a complex medically acurate model of the insides of a human. I need someone to render some camera movements, and switch between the differnet layers of internal organs.

Requirments:

• Must have experience with 3D animation.
• Must be interested in health and wellness.
• Must be able to complete multiple drafts.
• Must be in California. The closer to Santa Barbara the better. That is where the rest of the team is.

Benefits:

• Your name in the credits under 3D animation.
• Your name and website link on VehicleForTheSoul.com
• A DVD of the finish documentary with special features.
• You get to keep the 3D model of the Human Body.
• You will learn a lot about the human body, in regards to Qi and Energy Flow.
• $100 per finished animation minimum. Negotiateable.

Process:

I give you story borads, and explain what the animation is about. If you are using Maya, I will be able to work will you.

When you are finish you present the first draft.
It is reviewed, and corrected to make the 2nd draft.
The 3rd draft is rendered in high quality, to complete the project.

I will take the animation, and edit it together in After Effects.
Time estimate of 2 weeks. Over 10 hours. Negotiable.

Here is an Example:
