Hello,
I am looking once again, to join a team to create a series (I have invented proprietary methods of animating Characters with great efficiency (I even wrote a book about it, 'Live Take! A completely new method of Artistic Motion Capture in 3ds Max') , or meet a director that needs some Visual Effects MAGIC! Or a company looking to Train their employees with Virtual Reality and create fully Immersive Environments that teach and test. (I would MOST Like to work on an exciting VR Project, All I need are the ideas, I an do ALL The Technical parts, World creation, Character development, even programming / coding to make Interactive VR Applications and Games for Google Cardboard, Gear VR, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Google Daydream (etc)
Or even do some scoring work (I can emulate a 50 piece orchestra so faithfully, one would be fooled into thinking it's the Royal Philharmonic!)
I can make magic happen, I worked worked in Hollywood and the game industry for 20 years, I have definitely worked on a film you have heard of (You can IMDB me if we talk). I had my own Animated TV Show (for one season,.. ahem..), I have worked on numerous B Student and independent films, I worked at Activision, Warner Bros... Playboy TV( AS AN ANIMATOR AHEM, Mind out of gutter LOL ;")
I'd REALLY like to make a VR App that is so EXTREME, So,.. unexpected that it,. changes the genre,. I think working with a writer outside the VR world might be a way to get there,.. Someone who doesn't already THINK they know the limitations (I don't believe in them) or 'problems' (there are only solutions and a 100 ways to do any given thing
I have worked on my own projects in my own studio for so long, I can't imagine go back to working in a Cubicle a TINY Cog in a Project, JUST to assuage my Artist Drive to MAKE SOMETHING GREAT ( I come to life in Winter, I'm used to being indoors and working feverishly 18 hours a day all winter, -->hard to break the habit of a lifetime...)
THOUGH I would consider working with a team that is more casual and feels the way I do about the 'cubicle thing' and work because they love the project not merely for a paycheck. I once found a student Director in Los Angeles when I lived down there, who put an Ad in Craigslist, wanting a Photo-realistic Visual FX Dream Sequence to the Radiohead song 'Where Bluebirds Fly' - I answered it, we worked together and before long I had the 2k Sky Melting and turning into Birds etc - (thom yorke actually emailed me after seeing it!) - I worked with him from his freshman year through graduation, he had the most amazing Special Effects, Compositing, polished editing and production quality of any other student in his class. I guess I kinda long for that collaborative feel again,. I live near Silicon Valley in the Bay Area of California. I have lots of samples to show, including a fun recent personal project: an elaborate CGI Animated Star Trek Fan Episode I made (Yes, I'm a NERD!) that generated multiple articles and reviews (about how I made it with the original actors voices in a 'new' 450-minute story!) along with samples of worlds I have made in 3D 360° VR, o:)
So,.. Anyone with a good idea, project in need of polish, VR Project in need of TECH GOD,. Film that needs High End Visual Effects, Animated Characters, Wire Removal? . etc ;~) I am here, UTILIZE ME~
