HI GUYS.
MY STUDIO HAS BEEN WORKING ON AN ANIMATED AFRICAN FOLKTALE SERIES DEPICTING THE WILY, OLD TORTOISE AS THE KEY XTER AND THE NUMEROUS TALES SURROUNDING HIM.
MY PRESENT TEAM IS INADEQUATE FOR THE ENTIRE PROJECT- WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON A PREVIEW, FOR SOURCING FUNDING/INVESTORS.
THIS IS THEREFORE AN OPEN INVITE FOR ANY ONE INTERESTED,TALENTED AND DISCIPLINED ENOUGH TO WORK ON A SERIOUS PROJECT.
OUR RESOURCES ARE LIMITED,SO THIS POST SHOULD ONLY BE CONSIDERED BY THE VERY SERIOUS-NO OFFENSE MEANT.
POSTED BELOW ARE VARIOUS SCENES FROM THE OPENING MONTAGE.(THE MODELS HAVE NOT BEEN TEXTURED)

PERTINENT WORKING DETAILS WILL BE DISCUSSED ON A PERSON-2-PERSON BASIS, (CALLS OR E-MAILS)-BUT ANY GENERAL COMMENTS/CRITICISMS ARE VERY WELCOME.

THANX GUYS.

day 1 of 4

true.
communication would be critical-thus making the task difficult, but not impossible.
have worked on projects where i received the brief on-line, and a team of artists worked together each from their different stations.
in fact, major production houses do it all the time.
i do think tho,if the local talent organise themselves- we might find we are not so scattered afterall.eg- all those in the lagos area,abuja etc could form a collective unit, those abroad (with better communication) can hook up online.
i dont know the exacts, but if we are willing to draw up something- it may work.

i believe 'person-to-person' is a better creative influence, and promotes a more rapid learning curve.
just my thots.

still welcome other reactions- i believe we have ALL the talent we need to be awesome scattered in here!

just a thot guys.

fact: there is a talented bunch visiting this forum
fact: most of us are self taught and highly motivated
fact: most of us recognize, and in most cases, pursue excellence individually
but,
fact: an individual can only go so far, battling the mammoth of challenges existing in Nigeria
fact: if we don't somehow merge our creative energies, we will probably not make a significant impact globally.

Question: wot is the constructive way forward?
would appreciate y'alls reaction.

@ KOPMAN:
DUDE, NO OFFENSE,BUT U NEED TO FIND THE KINDERGARTEN SECTION.

@ D REST:
WHY DONT Y'ALL HARNESS/SYNERGIZE ALL THIS CREATIVE ENERGY INTO A SINGLE PROJECT. POSTING FOR FUN IS KOOL, BUT CREATING SOMETHING WORTHWHILE WHILE STILL HAVING FUN IS EVEN KOOLER!(NOT TO MENTION-FINANCIALLY BENEFICIAL)

THANX TO I.T, PROJECTS ARE NOW DONE GLOBALLY FROM SCATTERED WORK-STATIONS- SO THATS NOT A PROBLEM.
JUST A THOT,

HEY GUYS.
2BUFF, WOTS THE WORD?
WAS THIS JUST TALK?

GUYS,IS THIS A "DEAD PROJECT" BEFORE TAKE OFF?!

HI MAN
VERY UNLIKELY THAT U CAN AFFORD A FULL TIME PRIVATE TUTOR THATS ANY GOOD.
WHY DONT U DOWNLOAD WHAT U NEED AND STUDY YOURSELF.THERES LOTSA VIDEO TUTORIALS TO AID U THAT U CAN DOWNLOAD

HI Y'ALL.

EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE MESSING WITH 2D/3D SO WHY DONT WE POST SOME OF OUR STUFF HERE.
IMAGES N CLIPS R WELCOME.

WOT SAY Y'ALL?

GO TO www.mininova.com
U MAY NEED TO INSTALL THE TORRENT DOWNLOADER FROM THE SITE.
THEY GOT TONS OF GAMES,TYPE THE NAMES OF THE ONES U WANT.
HOPE UR INTERNETS FAST-PPL WITH THOSE FILES DONT STAY ON 4 LONG

COULD BE UR POWER PACK.
WOT HAPPENED THE LAST TIME U SHUTDOWN/USED IT.
DO U HAVE A UPS OR SURGE PROTECTOR?

YO MOONDUST.
JUST MESSIN WIT YA!

YO MOONDUST.
JUST MESSIN WIT YA!

SURE 2BUFF.
HIT ME UP WITH DETAILS
EMAIL ADDY IS oksdman@yahoo.com OR imagix_studios@yahoo.
YAHOO MESSENGER HANDLE IS oksdman.

U INTEND 4 THAT PROLOGUE 2 BE IN GAME PLAY OR,SAY,AN INTRO VIDEO?
THE PROJECT INTEREST ME,BUT LIKE I SAID EARLIER-I ONLY HAVE ONE SPEED:WARP SPEED!

HOLLABACK

havent used bitcomet.most sites have downloaders that usually work quite well.some specify specific ones.checkout www.mininova.com.
they have quite a bit of content and some excellent torrent downloaders.
havent used bitcomet,so i lack experience with it.tell me where u downloaded it from tho, n i can look into how it works.

WOT MAKE IS UR BOARD AND CAN U IDENTIFY UR AUDIO DEVICE?
U COULD TRY ROLLING BACK THE AUDIO DRIVER OR GOING BACK TO AN EARLIER RESTORE POINT.

cowboy.do u want to upload or download files?

SURE GRAFIK.
UR RITE ON THE MONEY.
ONLY THING IS,(AND I MAY BE WRONG)CHANCES ARE THE FIRM MAY NOT SURVIVE A SOFTWARE PROBE!
LIKE U SAID- THIS IS NIGERIA. PIRATES HAVEN!
ALTHOUGH THIS SOUNDS LIKE IM PROTECTING THEM.

APOLOGIES ZPIXEL!

I STAND REBUKED.LOL

HI SEUN.
DUDE IF UR THE ONLY STAFF-THEN THE ONUS FALLS ON U 2 CARRY THE BURDEN OF PROGRESS.
MOST GREAT IDEAS OVERTAKE THEIR INITIATOR,IF UVE GOT OTHER INTERESTS,THEN DELEGATE SOME DUTIES.
I THINK U SHOULD STRIVE TO KEEP THE SITE ,IF NOT CUTTING EDGE,AT LEAST RELATIVELY UP TO DATE.

SHARE UR PASSIONS ON THE MOVIE THING,BUT AM STILL FIRING ON ALL MY OTHER FRONTS!
NO OFFENSE.

DUDE.GO BROWSE!
WHAT WORKS FOR ONE PERSON MAY NOT FLY 4 ANOTHER.
CHECK THEM OUT N DECIDE FOR YASSELF.
THERE R LOTSA GAMES POSTED ON SONY SITE.

ZPIXEL.
I KNOW U MEAN WELL, BUT IF I WERE UR BOSS- ID CALL THAT CLASSIFIED/PRIVILEGED INFO U ARE GIVING OUT!
PRODUCTION FIRMS DONT GO BROADCASTING WHAT THEY USE DUDE.

DUDE.IN MY OPINION THE MARK OF A MASTER IS IN THE INABILITY OF THE PUBLIC TO PINPOINT A SINGLE SOFTWARE AS THE TOOL USED.PERSONALLY I MAY USE AS MANY AS 6 SOFTWARES TO PRODUCE A SINGLE WORK- BE IT A DIGITAL PAINTING,GRAPHIC OR AUDIO/VISUO MATERIAL. CONCENTRATE ON LEARNING AS MANY PACKAGES AS U CAN.AS U BECOME EFFICIENT WITH THEM,U WILL KNOW THE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF EACH.

INDUSTRY STANDARDS FOR TV WOULD BE: DISCREET COMBUSTION. ADOBES AFTER EFFECTS,DIRECTOR AND PREMIER.
U SAY URE OKAY WITH COREL AND PHOTOSHOP SO U CAN MESS WITH ADOBES FIREWORKS, ILLUSTRATOR AND FLASH.

50% EFFICIENCY IN THESE PACKAGES WILL TRANSFORM UR OUTPUT!

AND REMEMBER TO STRIVE FOR STUNNING OUTPUT THAT STUMPS YOUR VIEWERS AS TO HOW/WHAT U USED.APPARENTLY SOUNDCITY SUCCEEDED!

HAPPY STUDYING!

2BUFF.
JUST MESSING WITH YA ORIGINAL. (SEE ATTACHMENT)

STILL WAITING 4 A BRIEF ON THE PLOT.
CAN HELP WITH THE MODELS.

2BUFF.
JUST MESSING ABOUT WITH YA ORIGINAL (SEE ATTACHED)

[img][/img]

WAS THINKING WE INTRODUCE ORIGINALITY BY PORTRAYING NIGERIA AS IS.
NOT SOME FUTURISTIC THING.MAKE THE GAME FUN BY INSERTING KOOL XTERS/SCENARIOS RATHER THAN HI TECH GIZMOS.
NOT SUGGESTING WE SHOW US AS BACKWARD,BUT NOT AS MEGA ADVANCED TECHNOLOGICALLY EITHER.

WOT U THINK GUYS?

COOL 2BUFF.MUTUAL RESPECT I APPRECIATE.SO WHERE DO WE START.
WHATS OUR PLOT?
THAT WILL SUGGEST CHARACTERS AND STYLE.
TO ME, THE APPEAL OF THE PROJECT IS THE CHALLENGE.

AM LONG PAST TRYING TO CORRECT WRONG IMPRESSIONS HELD BY PPL UNFORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE NAIVE-
THEIR SELF REALISATION IS A NECESSARY BY-PRODUCT OF OUR SUCCESS.SO LETS MAKE THIS WORK!

SO, BACK TO THE STORYLINE AND CONCEPT ART.IDEAS ANYONE?
WILL POST SOME SKETCHES,BUT WILL LIKE A GENERALLY AGREED UPON CONCEPT TO GUIDE US.

SALSERA,MY YAHOO MESSENGER HANDLE IS oksdman.
HIT ME UP IF U LIKE THEN WE CAN WORK REAL TIME.
I WOULD RECOMMEND CHANGING UR ANTIVIRUS,BUT IM NOT SAYING THATS THE CULPRIT.DO ANY OTHER PROGRAMS ACT UP?

DUDE.GO TO IKEJA COMPUTER VILLAGE. U WILL FIND PPL THAT CAN WALK ON WATER THERE.DONT KNOW HOW MUCH IT WILL COST U THO.WALK INTO ANY OF THE BIG FIRMS AND TELL THEM ABT UR PROBLEM-IF THEY CANT HELP U,NOONE ELSE CAN.

CACTUS,U DONT KNOW HIS STORY SO DONT BASH HIM TIL U KNOW THE DETAILS.PPL DO ALL KINDS OF JOBS THEY EITHER DONT LIKE OR KNOW ABT 2 SURVIVE IN NIGERIA- HE CLD B ONE OF THEM.

HI, U JUST CORRECTED UR EARLIER POST AND DIDNT ADDRESS ANY OF MA QUESTIONS.
TYPO'S R ONLY A BOTHER WHEN THEY DETRACT FROM THE MEANING OF THE TEXT.
U WERE QUITE CLEAR,TYPOS N ALL.

HI SALSERA.
DEFINE UNREADABLE.
THERE ARE ALL KINDA BOTS THAT SEND CRAPPY MESSAGES- I NEED TO HAVE AN IDEA OF CONTENT TO ASSESS BETTER.WOULD HAVE HIT U ON CHAT BUT U DONT HAVE UR HANDLE LISTED IN UR PROFILE. WHAT ANTIVIRUS ARE U USING ANYWAY N WHEN DID THE SITUATION START?
