The Black Goddess/Omicron [Cg Film Project]

[The_Caveman]

Hi,

here goes with a small project description first

UPDATE: 6 oct 2006: We're looking for texturers and mattepainters capable of making high quality and close to real textures and well a 360° landscape mattepainting fitting in the city environnement (would include sea, mountains, city itself (Vancouver kinda idea :) )

Introduction :

The Omiqron project is a project I've been working on for 2 years already and recently decided to turn into a collaboration project. We are a team of 30 people at the moment doing our best to realise something worthy to watch.

About the project :

We're trying to realise a full-length movie (~1h30) everything done in CG.
The story is set in a huge metropolis where we find a "huge lab". After a war of several years between vampires and humans who tried to live together calm is coming back to the city of Omiqron but with the lab being build some weird things started to happen. The destiny of the humans is in the hands of the vampires, and that of the vampires in the hands of humans. Will they manage?

our team :

right now we're 40 people working on this project going from concept through 3d through animation all the way to post production and we kinda hope release aswell . we got people from all over the world working on this and it is getting bigger and bigger

At the moment we're working on a small trailer of a couple of minutes to see how things go, get the team together and see how everything turns out regarding quality, collab and especially public reaction (which is growing everyday with 250 visits a day on the website (which we're rebuilding )

Of course all of your work can be used by yourself for portfolios etc.
The project at the moment is a non-profit one but who knows where something like this can lead us but one thing is sure if we manage to finish this you get a DVD of the project ;). that is all that I can promise for now :)

thank you for reading :)

just a little add-on.

We will be needing concept sketches of a lot of things so I thought I'd put a small list down here.

Environnement:
Landscapes: the scottisch kinda
Cityscapes : because this takes place in a city we could need some general city designs to see how to place things etc
"Streetscapes" : A part of the city has to be in high detail so we could need street and building ideas.
Gothic architecture: sanctuarys, buildings etc for the gothic part of the city
Lab concepts: inside aswell as outside
Industrial complexes: there are a couple of scenes taking place in a harbour/industry environnement
Medieval: there are a couple of scenes that take place in a medieval ideas so ideas of villages and castles etc. (in this scene there will be a huge battle if we manage to pull it off ;)

Characters
Main character concepts: we have a couple of main characters that really need to be defined at the moment there a ten characters ready with there abilitys, skills etc who are waiting for concept and more to come
General characters: there will be a couple of armys and some secondary characters. this more to define a style of how things should look throughout the film : armors, cloths etc.

Props
Weapons: both firearms as medieval weaponery
Vehicules/transport

we are also looking for storyboard artist. the first script of the teaser is ready a 60 sec. animation to see how things should go and maybe get more people interested and eventually got some sponsors :p

this is just a small list. There is really a lot to do and we really need help hehe

Didn't see this before. Cool, I like all the wip stuff.

I can try my hand at enviros, I'm not terrible at them, though I have to admit characters are my strong point.

I don't have much of a portfolio ready, but you can Check out my sketchbook to see what I can do. You should be able to reach me on MSN (Which is also my active email) Which is the little icon in the top right of this post.

;D Good luck with this!

We're looking for concept artists again :)
At the moment we're restructering to get things moving a bit faster again and we could use some more concept artists for vehicule design, character design, interior designs etc :)
