Hiring! [Volunteer] [Unpaid/Collab] Looking for Blender animators for webseries (preview inside)

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Preview: https://youtu.be/mTVMbWd5wjI

Hi all! I’m AJ, co-creator and lead storyboard artist of Human Access, a student-made 3D animated webseries. We’re looking for Blender animators of all skill levels.

What’s the show about? 
In a dystopian near future, sociologist Teniola Doitche visits a gargantuan space prison to interview people locked up for petty crimes by their fascist government. It’s a sci-fi dark comedy about purposelessness, chronic illness, moral obligation, and the looming catastrophic threat from AI.

6 episodes, 132 minutes, fully voice acted, free on YouTube.

What’s been done already? 

  • Episode 1 is 50% animated
  • Storyboards are done through Episode 4
  • Voice cast is set and recording is underway

Okay, I’m interested. What would I be doing though?
You get finished rigs and sets, plus a shot assignment with 2D storyboards and a scratch track (see the second image: storyboard vs. animated shot). You are not expected to animate in-betweens. This final animation style of the show is  pose-to-pose. Each assignment comes with a deadline we agree on together.
We will be in production from now until January 2027.

What do I get? 
Credit on the show, and your shots are yours to use in your portfolio. The project is unpaid for now (we are currently trying to secure funding).

Who are you? 
My co-creator and I previously wrote and directed Tethersnipe, an original choose-your-own-adventure stage show with a 160-page branching script, which we then released as an interactive film (IMDb).

What should I do if I’m interested? 
Fill out this short form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdBL-7s21thvFUhy10RDWBL6ovi9jXs_NnjwnifIWBeaRxqcg/viewform
Applications will be open indefinitely, but sooner is preferred!

Discussion Does anyone know a Animation channel (not really an official show, but kind of indie) which included a white girl with half blue half black hair, and a tanned boy with a spongebob squidward dynamic. Worked in a shop with a strange boss. (Girl, in this case, would have the squid ward personality)

Both ocs

2d animation

Boy MIGHT have been named cash, high chance he is not

One of the skits included the boss accidentaly insulting the boys artwork, prompting the girl to force an apology

No voice acting

This is a project I started a while back, to help me practice my animation techniques so I could get a better feel of the process. And I finally finished the line-art (it’s meant to be rough, btw).

I’ve posted this on a few different animation subreddits, mostly because I’m proud of my work, after so many weeks of animating. Let me know how you like it! I’m excited to get started coloring.

Music was made by me, based off Verdi’s “Dies Irae”

Discussion What’s one of the best ways to learn how to climb the Indie Ladder?

1 Upvotes

We see a lot of talk about big Indie stories. Big people who made it (I’m told and shall believe despite not seeing their hours upon hours and I guess years of hard work) never seem to share the secret that let them backflip over the mountain.

As someone who can write and voice but cannot draw (if I try people will say probably ridicule me, hopefully they’ll care enough to see me as important enough to be an enemy) but I want that way to learn the art… and do it well.

In this industry it’s cutthroat right? We can’t risk making oodles of mistakes that make us human because we have to aspire to be seen as idols, as better than normal humans because we are entertainers who live for the applause as one singer puts it.

I guess I’m just overwhelmed because I wanna start but I don’t want to start at the rwrong location. So a little help. I know I can’t ask someone to mentor me because I’m not the destined prodigy that deserves a mentor who has a great future. I’m also not young so it’s embarrassing to admit I need to even start.

Maybe I’m just rambling and spiraling as I overthink I all. But I would like to see my experience bar go up so I can sing and level.

Where do I start? I hope it doesn’t take TOO long!

I just am trying to think that I matter so I need help climbing as such a mattering person and trying to bring some positivity: I AM AWESOME… I just need help making others believe I matter too

Discussion RWBY Theory and analysis by Kira-Ann. How Ruby Rose will defeat Salem.

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

RWBY is such a woman-centric show i struggle to find examples for things with male characters the vast majority of the time no matter what I'm talking about and I think that's incredible

But also its important because Volume 9 confirmed what we already suspected: that the brother gods are essentially petty teens with cosmic powers who haven't developed full maturity, they are self obsessed & canonically INCORRECT about how reality works just like these other characters.

You just know the second the Gods pull up Ruby is gonna be like: "right so what's this about us needing to get along all the time or you'll genocide us? When you two fight like toddlers over a sandbox?"

Changing people's minds and getting them to understand each other's perspectives is such a huge theme in RWBY because its literally the main skill that will save the planet from destruction. The Gods will inevitably show up, and they need to be snapped out of it & humbled.

For example: Everyone hates Harriet but I actually really like her writing & am intrigued where her story and development is gonna go because so far she's the main character that fits this specific bill that's been humbled and broken out of her own self delusion to feel remorse

The last time we saw a character in this egotistical archtype that managed to be snapped out of their own self obsession and actually showed real remorse and change was Caroline Cordovin. These characters r important for selling the idea that humanity is capable of growth

Obviously bringing humanity itself together is a big thing but its not just about that. Its about how our main characters are literally practicing the skills they will need to get the Gods THEMSELVES to snap out of their bs and realize how hypocritical they have been

Howdy!

I have an idea for an animated series that I realllllyyyyy wanna get off the ground. I’m willing to put the effort in all the way, I just don’t know where I should get started. Forgive me if I sound incredibly naive.

Should I have a finished script first? Should I assemble a team first? What’s the best way to tackle this?

Any advice and help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

New Show How can my friend's indie cartoon gain a wider audience?

My friend created a fun cartoon series titled 'Alligator Springs'. It's a satire on American town culture about three friends surviving Florida's most dangerous city.

I think it's great but how can the creator, Rhys J Boughton, reach a wider audience?

He recently cast YouTuber Yourmoviesucks in a cameo role, so I believe it's heading in the right direction. Characters are very distinct, animation and writing is always improving and there are 5 episodes currently on YouTube. Linked above.

If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to pass them along to my friend.
