Looking for new team members

For our production of "SlipStream" we are always looking for talented and passionate team players. There is no pay for your participation, but you'll get a good opportunity to make yourself known as member of a professional production team - producing in virtual worlds like Second Life(tm) or using special Software like Moviestorm(tm) or CrazyTalk.

For Newbies in film production and/or virtual worlds, this will also be a good opportunity for "learning-by-doing".

We are looking for:

* Directors
* Producer
* Writers
* Voice Actors
* Designers
* PR Specialists
* People with experience in the movie business

Please send all inquiries to [email]marian@heddesheimer.de[/email] with subject: SlipStream

We are working with real people, so we require real names for all who want to work in the core team (scripts, producing, pr, organization) but you can do acting or voice acting without revealing your real name.

Nice job! Did you guys use lipsync viewer? Great emotions/animation/ acting for the avies!

No I use Crazy Talk.

Ohh! But how'd you get the avatars to move like that? I thought you can only import photos into Crazy talk.

yes, it's green screen technique and a lot of work

wonderful production for a first run especially. From a technical standpoint, I'd love to learn how you did much of this, though I suspect that's a full-time job in and of itself.

I've signed on to be a part of your team, though I've not had time to attend any meetings. If I can help in some way, let me know.

thanks a lot for the feedback
you are right, we did work about 2 month (almost full time) on the first episode.



Meanwhile I have set up a Moodle learning site for our team members:

I'm now working on lessons for all the different aspects. At the moment I have set up a course about screenwriting.

Great work Jim, especially with the Crazytalk/green screen technique, not easy to pull off.
