VFX Stock Exchange Short Film

Here is a little background on the project before I go into the nuts and bolts of what I’m looking for. I am a Visual Effects Artist working out of the Los Angeles area. I was also a Professor at a University where I taught the art and techniques of digital effects for film, TV and game. I saw many students struggle to find useable footage at a reasonable cost or if they did find the footage it would be lacking the technical information on how the footage was acquired. Which is important for the effects artist to properly manipulate the footage and turn it into an amazing work of art. This project will be used in a KickStarter Campaign. The main goal of the campaign is to raise money to fund a non profit organization that will supply future effects artist with footage, stills, lidar scans, and many other elements used by professional to make movie magic in the digital era. It will also supply materials for colleges so they can have better materials and assets to teach the techniques. By now your asking.. “So were do I fit in?” I’m looking for a screenwriter to help me develop a short Sci-Fi story about 10 to 15 pages in length. It needs to be based around a few characters, and locations I have been designing. The goal of this short film is to demonstrate what can be done with the materials the “VFX Stock Exchange” will be supplying aspiring filmmakers. The locations are places that I have photographed and explored, the characters are developed based on a student’s ability to execute with the equipment and software within the walls of a university. I do have a basic outline of ideas of shots and a general premise. Please see attached files for inspiration. My strength is creating computer graphics that provide a visual impact to help tell the story. What I need is your help creating the story. If you are interested please send me some examples of your work. If I decided to hire you I will be able to provide a rough outline of some key ideas on where I want the story to go. I also have some visuals to help you get to know the characters, and creatures. Feel free to ask any questions about the project. I like to be involved as much as I can. I will be available to answer any question you may have. I’m open to new ideas as long as the are able to be done with in the projects budget.
