We weren't planning on using cutscenes for the TVWP, but we thought about it, and we thought that this would make a great start of the war cutscene.

Anybody that wants to do it won't be committing much as they'll have almost a year to do it.

If you do decide to join for this, you'll get TVWP IF access so we can discuss the finer details (this script might be hard to do), and of course, so you can preview all the cool TVWP stuff.

as a rough guide, allow 2 months of working 10+ hours/day for a 2 minute cutscene - animating stuff is VERY VERY hard.

and have a very good idea of what you want before you start so you dont wind up wasting time

Whoever does it has a year

We plan on holding a discussion about it once somebody gets hired. He/she can work with us so we know what he/she can do best

I hate writing in red, but one time won't hurt....

Emphasis on the fact that we have a long period of time before we actually need this.  We're getting started early, so people can have as much time as they need.

Also, there's nothing preventing us from hiring more than one animator.

You want a four-hour long cutscene of a Vasudan complementing Terran cuisine?

[Goober5000]

No, it would be adapted for the cutscene medium.  Only a few minutes.

EDIT: Read the whole thing.  It's about the start of the T-V War, not about Terran cuisine.

well, I would be happy to do it coz, disregarding Wevil's whinning, this kind of thing in a portfolio is a winner, but I'm already busy with a project of mine, which already requires much more work that your cutscene, sorry.

i wasn't whining, i was saying what to expect.  There's a minor but important difference... unless your mastery of english is still lacking?

obviously. I never claimed I was a master in english

Is your project going to take more than a year?  We can wait...

We haven't even started FREDding chapter 1 yet.  We won't need this cutscene until we release chapter 2, which we think will be quite some time in the future.

EDIT: For reference, chapter 1 has 30-odd missions, and chapter 2 will probably have the same amount.

probably...

[Goober5000]

Hm.  Now I'm curious about your project...

EDIT: Unless you're talking about OTT itself.  That I'm looking forward to, and I wouldn't want to pull you away from it.

Howabout anyone else?  Please? There doesn't have to be a single person who works on this the entire time - we'd be happy if, for example, one person contributed character models, a second person designed backgrounds, several others chipped in for animating twenty-second chunks each, etc.

nope, something else probably post something about it, some day.
