Two independent faculty filmmakers are looking for students to work on a feature-length romantic comedy. In this quirky independent film, two rival academics in Cryptozoology 101 are in search of Bigfoot and other mythical creatures. Several illustrators are needed to first storyboard, sketch, imagine and then render concepts into professional animations overlaying film with drawings and animation using after effects, and 3-D programs such as Cinema 4D or Maya. Subjects to illustrate include: Jackalope, (a real rabbit with animated enhancement), Chupacabra, Sea Battle with Loch Ness, etc. If you are interested, please contact as per film faculty Dan Koetting wishes, at 303-518-6321. At this stage, the budget is limited. This is a great chance, to gain additional experience and work on an imaginative film! Becky Heavner
