Help Wanted: Animation artists needed for Star Wars 7" Book And Record set

Hello all!

Adam here again with another product update. The project has come to yet another exciting new phase. The audio has been recorded and fixed and the images are being scanned and color corrected as we speak. This leaves one aspect of the project yet to start. Putting it all into an animated 3D book.

What I am looking for is something along the lines of a 3D book that would open up and have realistic pages turns in sync with the audio. I am seeking anyone out there who has experience with 3D animation or 3D book design to assist me in bringing my ideas to life.

I currently own Adobe After Effects CS6 and I use GIMP 2.8 as my image editor. I am a total Noob when it comes to After Effects and I don’t know the first thing about the software to be honest.

A word about the images I captured. They are high quality BMP files scanned at 600 DPI and color corrected using GIMP 2.8. They are pretty big files so I would be using Dropbox to share them with someone. Each book is made up of approx 25 still images.

Where am I on the project? I have the first of 8 books scanned in and I’m working hard on color correcting each page in my spare time. Thus far approx 6 pages are ready to go. The Color correction takes the most time as I am trying to achieve something that compliments the actual printed page.

Anyone that is interested in assisting me please reply within or PM me. I sure could use the help.

Cheers,

Adam

WOW I'm surprised noone out there wants to help with this project. I am now exploring the avenue of Flash. I think this may yield better results. The idea being that you would have an icon to click on to move each page forward and backward. See examples of this on the following website: http://www.readalongadventures.com/list.htm

Cheers,

Adam

I dunno if it's lack of interest so much as lack of ability, haha.

Certainly looks like a cool project, though!

Keep Circulating the Tapes.

Thanks Tyrphanax, the project will be very cool as soon as it is finished. I wouldn't say that ability is lacking whatsoever here at OT.com. Lots of talented people turning out fantastic projects. Rather I think that many people are involved in many projects at the moment and may not be free. I wouldn't put it past someone out there to have the know how to pull this off. Just not me at the moment grins
