Help Wanted: for my Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest Fan-Edit

So, here’s the scoop. I’m making a Pirates of the Caribbean fan-edit (combining DMC and AWE into one movie, removing, if not all, most of the unnecessary elements).

I actually worked on it for quite some time (and got pretty experienced with editing video and 5.1 audio). And it’s pretty much on the finishing line. But. There’s a problem. To make everything work, I need to redraw things in a program like Adobe After Effects or something similar to it.

Normally, it wouldn’t have been a problem for me to learn to professionally work in a program like that, but I’ve got too little free time left. Most of my time is eaten by University, the Fan-Edit time is eaten by, well, editing (I’m constantly improving different stuff, and there are some scenes which I haven’t even started changing yet) and in February I’m leaving to Canada, meaning that I have a maximum 5 months to finish the fan-edit, though in reality I have to get done with it in a month or two (for reasons closely related to the limited time reasons stated above) - not enough to learn to seamlessly do what I want to do.

So, what I’m asking for, is for some help. I need a person skilled in an AE-type program who will willingly help me to finish the edit (by editing the graphical aspect of different shots - like removing a ship or several in the distance, compositing from different shots, like a person from one shot and a background from another), I will provide the exact specifications of what to do in each shot, along with the shots themselves. I work in 1080p (coded in highest quality x264, so it’s NOT totally lossless, the shots will still weight quite a few bytes, so a fast connection is preferable), and expect the same in return.

Or, at least, I need a place where there’s lots of such persons, some of which could possibly help me.

Thank you in advance.
