Project Overview: A Galaxy of Opportunities

Our project is a short, animated fan film set within the expansive Star Wars universe. We have a compelling storyline in mind, one that explores a unique corner of the galaxy and features original characters. The primary goal is to create a visually stunning and emotionally engaging experience for fellow fans. We envision the project to be around 5-7 minutes in length, allowing us to tell a concise yet impactful story. The core of this project is to blend the essence of Star Wars with a unique storytelling approach, while respecting the existing lore and adding a fresh, original perspective. We are planning to use Blender as our primary 3D software for modeling, animation, and rendering. We're looking for someone with a solid grasp of Blender's capabilities. We want to create a high-quality visual experience that captures the look and feel of the Star Wars universe. This is not just about rendering; it's about understanding the art direction, lighting, and overall aesthetic. The project scope includes character modeling, environment design, animation, and potentially some aspects of visual effects. While specific responsibilities will be tailored to the selected artist's skillset, we envision a collaborative environment where ideas are shared, and everyone contributes to the creative process. We will need someone who is good at problem-solving. We intend to do this right, so if you think that this project is not for you, it’s ok! We are looking for someone that shares our passion and dedication to bring this project to life, to deliver a high-quality end result.

The Role: What We're Looking For

We're searching for a Blender artist with experience in character modeling, environment design, and animation. A strong understanding of the Star Wars aesthetic is essential, as we want to capture the look and feel of the films. We want someone who can take concepts and bring them to life, paying close attention to detail and maintaining the overall artistic vision. Proficiency in Blender is a must, including knowledge of modeling techniques, texturing, rigging, animation, and rendering. Experience with other related software (e.g., Substance Painter, Photoshop) is a bonus. However, the core skill we seek is the ability to create stunning visuals within Blender. We are also seeking someone who is comfortable working collaboratively, sharing ideas, and receiving feedback. This is a team effort, and open communication is key to our success. The ability to meet deadlines and manage your time effectively is also crucial, as we will be working towards a specific schedule to complete the film. We need someone who is passionate about the project and invested in its success. The ideal candidate will be a Star Wars fan themselves. Someone who understands the lore, the characters, and the overall appeal of the franchise. Your passion will directly translate into your work, elevating the quality and authenticity of the project. This is not a job; it is more of a labor of love. We want someone to work in harmony with our ideas and suggestions. We plan to build a collaborative environment to bring this project to fruition. This is your chance to work on a project you can be proud of.

Collaboration and Workflow: Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

Our workflow will be centered around a collaborative environment, leveraging tools like Discord, Google Drive, and potentially other platforms to ensure smooth communication and file sharing. We are committed to transparency and keeping everyone informed throughout the process. We want to stay aligned on the goals and vision of the project. We will use a project management tool to keep track of tasks, deadlines, and progress. Regular communication will be a cornerstone of our workflow. We plan to have weekly meetings to discuss progress, share feedback, and address any challenges that arise. We believe that by creating a transparent and collaborative environment, we can ensure that everyone is aligned on the project's goals. We intend to share our concepts and storyboards for the project, and we value your input on the design and animation. Your ideas will be welcomed and incorporated into the creative process. We also plan to share the project's progress with the community. We want to create a buzz around this project, and we see it as a great opportunity to promote our work and create connections within the Star Wars community. We’re committed to a respectful and supportive atmosphere. We will encourage constructive criticism and positive feedback. Our goal is to produce something that will excite us as much as the people who are going to watch it. We will all be able to learn from each other during the project, and we hope to have an enjoyable and rewarding experience together.
