Looking for an editor/compositor/VFX artist/foley artist/cgi artist/3D, 2D animator and other

[GOLDENMORAL CINEMAS]

Hello everyone! Im Asher Pike, I hope you are all having a great time.

I am looking for someone who can edit, do compositing work, and VFX work for an indie feature film I am directing, that is being finished. It will be paid work, and a cinema line in New Zealand has agreed to show the film towards December. We are mostly in the post-production stage now so it looks like we will finish the film well before then. Now allow me to explain the project, our progress and what you would do.

In short the narrative is:
Nick is running from the sins he has made in his life, followed by his friend Asher. Together they stumble into a cloud world full of cloudy kingdoms, peoples, and friendly animals including dinosaurs. Here they also face their fears and sins, which take the form of storm armies, evil dinosaurs and other monsters. They call upon the strength of God, faith, hope and love, to fight through them against the evils, and they win. Then they are transported back to the real world, where, having faced their sin mentally, they face it in the real world. Making up for past mistakes and setting goals to make a better world, starting with themselves and then to help others in the community. The film ends with them climbing mountains, going on adventures, planting gardens, tending to them and doing other things symbolic and literal of the ideal of achievement, peace, happiness and goodness.

Nearly all live action scenes for this movie have been filmed in 6K (Lumix S1), from New Zealand to Australia, and during the flight above the clouds in between. I have put some photos in this post of what has been filmed or created digitally. Keep in mind these are heavily compressed. Along with live action, many 3D locations and character models have been made / animated by skilled artists. The grey models you see will be transformed to cloud-form, like the cloud knight seen in the last photo. Now the task, along with completing the 3D work, composing the score, making the soundscape, doing the foley work and more, is editing the actors into the cloud world.

We ended up filming most of the scenes with actors on the beach, as seen in images below. This provided natural wind so that when cut out and put into the cloud world - it will seem more realistic with wind in the actors faces and blowing their clothes and all. Due to budget, schedule and other limitations, we only had about 10-11 hours to film every scene in the whole movie, and we didn’t have the budget to rent out a green screen room. In the end it was a great success and we filmed everything well.

So basically the editor / compositor / VFX artist’s job will be to edit actors walking in the clouds, their feet will be slightly hidden in the clouds as they walk, and there will be a few VFX shots needed say, for when movements move clouds slightly out of the way, like for example when you run through fog and it moves out of your way.
Let me know if you are interested, or if you have questions feel free to ask.

Those who have skill with foley work, or any other occupations which would contribute to the film, feel free to contact me. We are always open to more animators, cgi artists, musicians, advertising strategists with ideas, cinema distributors and likewise.

You will be paid a fixed sum for your work, along with a % of the profits from the cinema release, online release and merchandise.

Thank you all very much. God bless you all.
