Open Call For Animators

Hi folks,
If you've been following the EBE Kickstarter Updates, you know I've recently started contacting some animators about creating short sequences for the film. I'm super excited and some great guys have signed on and I'm really excited about who's in the lineup so far. But it's only a start and I'm ready to make the general call for animators on the site.

The plan is to cut the edited interview audio into little segments and invite animators to listen to an mp3 and interpret and animate to the stories they hear. Anyone who's willing to spend some of their time animating these short (3-5 min tops) segments, I want to hear from you. Just send me a PM or comment here and I'll check out your stuff and be in touch. Everyone can work in their own style and will be credited of course and it should be a pretty amazing collaboration in the end.

So far, I've got:
Ajay Karat - http://www.devilsgarage.com/
TyStarr - http://tystarr.newgrounds.com/
The Swain - http://www.theswain.com/
Luis Castañon - http://luis.newgrounds.com/
Mick "Rice Pirate" Laurer - http://www.ricepirate.com/
and Chad Kaplan - http://vimeo.com/chadkaplan

Who wants in on the biggest collab ever?

Woah, this is still alive? I thought you jacked the money and left.

Anyway, I wish I was good enough to help but good luck!

You're joking, right? Please.
Well send your favorite animators thisaway! :)

AmazinLarry 2012-11-28 17:38:01

I really didn't think you were still doing this.

NaKrown 2012-11-28 17:38:01

No, but for serious a minute, I'm so happy to finally hear an update ohmygosh i cant wait to see it ;__;
I'd help animate, but I've never done 3 minutes ever. Welp.

NaKrown 2012-11-29 05:29:04

No time like the present! Although, there will also be some shorter bits needed as well.

Kolumbo 2012-11-30 15:27:52

Any release date yet?

Oh and will it be on a DVD? :3

GodOfVideoGames 2012-12-03 12:35:13

I'd love to help, just hit me up with a PM telling me what you need help with.

GodOfVideoGames 2012-12-03 12:42:16

Also: I don't have any of my new stuff on this account. I can send you samples of what I'm currently working on if you need an example of my talents.

M4KBOT 2012-12-03 14:04:57

I would definitely like to help and do some animation for this!

Aigis 2012-12-03 14:53:15

Hey, dude, whatever happened to those stickers?

NaKrown 2012-12-03 14:53:15

They went out, but a lot of them bounced back. Did you move?

Zombie-Pimp 2012-12-03 15:19:44

I'm down. Let me know if you'd be interested in having me on board.

golfinho 2012-12-03 15:37:26

i want to help, but you need to send me a pm and say "please, helpme".;

Emrox 2012-12-03 16:27:12

Sounds like something I'd like to be a part of. So yeah.

Jonas 2012-12-03 16:29:22

I think the definition of short animation is an oxymoron, especially if you're asking for 3-5 minutes from each animator.

That breaks down between six artists that you have so far as involving 18 to 30 minutes, and how many animators are you looking for overall? The curious portion is your running length in time for the documentary then, as it seems to be strange to be adding that much.

sirhenrystudios 2012-12-03 16:29:30

I'd like to give it a shot, If you'd let me

Chimbley 2012-12-03 16:43:58

I would absolutely love to help out if you'll have me!

AsthmaticHamster 2012-12-03 19:41:48

I would love to be a part of this. I've been wanting to get back into animation, it's been a long while since my last project!

MOC-Productions 2012-12-03 19:46:01

I'm definitely interested in this.

AsthmaticHamster 2012-12-03 19:54:11

Also, I agree with Jonas. 3-5 minutes is a lot of job. I think the best thing you could do is split those into smaller segments and then have some sort of "exquisite corpse" (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exquisite_corpse">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exquisite_corpse</a>). Have a first animator do a 15 sec. segment, then have him send his segment to a second animator who will pick up from where the last one left off, etc.

This way, each animated short will be more fluid, will ask for less work from each animator and will showcase different animation styles!

NaKrown 2012-12-03 19:54:11

I think this is a real possibility for certain chunks. I will be keeping it in mind.

Butzbo 2012-12-03 22:11:49

I would be absolutely motivated to work on a bit for it!, (although i may agree with the fact that 3-5 minutes could be too much time considering how important it could be to have as many different styles as possible and the amount of work) still, count me on the list of interested newgrounders!

VicariousE 2012-12-03 23:24:13

You need a hand on anything (video shoot) in the non-urban areas of NJ, PM me - I got an extra lavalier and a shotgun mic (both mono, sad to day). I guess yer done with principal shooting anyway...
Some damn fine talent below me :) But where is Master Aardvark?
Best wishes!
