Description:
The idea is basically a YouTube channel that deliver short films less than 5 minute duration of shadow art. Artists -especially storytellers too- always want to deliver messages via movies and express their art but we all know how hard it is to make a decent animation movie because of the endless time of rendering good quality material. I watched the audition of “Attraction” and instantly fell in love with the idea of delivering messages to the audience via simple yet artistic way. That’s when I thought ,“Why not use this in CGI too?” it’s perfect, artistic and will not be that heavy in terms of rendering.
So basically the goal is to publish a short 3-5 minute movie with a simple message weekly. Obviously we will need much more time than this at first to get used to the process of animating shadows to deliver the intended purpose so we will take our time at first in making the first short film which I already have the idea of it scripted and I kept it so simple even less than 1 minute just to get us warmed up.

What will I do: I am a writer and 3D artist. I will also be directing the project. The idea of shadow art seems simple but actually the mechanics are not very much so. I have been working on a basic setup for the stage and I have made a preliminary setting which of course I will need your help to make it much more professional as I am not that strong in the field of lighting in 3D.

What should you expect: This is an open project and not a paid job. What you will get is your name in the credits, new experience and the unbelievable fun that comes with finishing a film you have helped making.
