What is the Animation Collaboration Network?

We are a group of 3D animators, 3D modelers, script writers, musicians, voice-over artists, directors and producers that work on 3D short films, if you are interested in joining please join the news group

The Aim of The Group
The aim of this group is to get all the hobbyist and students of the world working together on 3D projects over the Internet because when you’re just doing 3D models it's hard to think of something to model, or an
Animator to get a good model to animate and thinking of something to get the character to do, or a director getting something to direct and a writer getting their story produced and so on

This group can help you in a few ways
if you have done a short animated film ( your showreel ) and want a musical score
Post a message to the newsgroup asking for a musician' help and hopefully things will get done
if you have some 3D models that you want animated and a story made for them contact the script writers and animator's in the newsgroup Then once a story has been written, the voice over artists will
Be contacted then the project will be edited and we have a finished project

Hopefully anyway :)

The structure of the projects will be something like this

Writer posts a script ( I post it on the web page in the newprojects section )
Members then post to the newsgroup or e-mail the writer telling him they want to work on his project
Writer decides if he will be the director or hands the directors roll on to some else in the project's group
The director is then put into a dictator roll in the working group making all the final decisions
He picks who's in the working group and who's not. Also decides what platform the project will be based in ( Lightwave, 3D MAX , hash animator etc)

Or how it should be broken up ( First scene done in Maya By Jill , Second done in 3D MAX By Fred, Third in Lightwave By Bill. Etc.

hope you join

most joy :)
