Transportation startup seeking help

Hi Blender Community!
This is my first post, very excited to get involved here. Just to give you brief overview, I’m Co-Founder and Creative Director for a company that is currently developing a highly advanced form of transportation known as ET3. Think car-sized capsules that levitate inside an autonomous freeway of almost airless tubes. We remove the two major variables that cause accidents today, human error and environmental conditions. The tech has been in development since the 80’s and as you can see from the website, www.et3.com, it’s still stuck in the 90’s!

My company, Loop Global (http://loopglobalinc.com) is the leading licensee in the open consortium, ET3 Global Alliance. We’re looking to partner with individuals who share passion in connecting the world and getting rid of this awful thing we call traffic. We’re in phase 2 of development which is a full-scale operational prototype set for an early Q1 2018 public unveil. This project has been bootstrapped to the core since founding in late 2014, entirely self funded with help of our friends and family. Although limited in resources, we’ve been able to achieve more than our competitors (Hyperloop) by being the first, and only company to prove a full-scale magnetic levitation system. You won’t find us in the press as we’re a small team working behind the curtains to prove our tech before emerging from stealth mode.

As creative director, I’m responsible for showing the world what this will look like. A filmmaker by trade, with a relatively wide range of talents including a new found love for Blender. Seriously, this software is incredible. I’d like to reach out for some help with the goal of building a rock star animation team. With such a futuristic technology, it’s hard for people to grasp exactly what we can offer. There have been some animations done for ET3, but like the website, they’re stuck in the past, especially this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UzlDe--Ofo

Here’s a better one, and gives you a solid overview of ET3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRvKaNeR1yk

Now, i’m just a novice with Blender but here are a few renders I’ve done so far



Right now i’m putting together a video for a competition called Next Visionaries. https://nextvisionaries.com/
There is about 15 seconds of space for animations as I describe the technology. I’m going to do my best to get these done myself a few days before the deadline on July 17th, but it sure would be nice to have a bit of help.

Here’s the text: “Think about it - a mobility platform that mimics our own cardiovascular system, transporting people, goods, resources, energy - all in one network. Travel would become seamless via ultra-fast capsules floating through a global freeway of tubes, with integrated first and last mile solutions.”

I have a decent animation of the cardiovascular system and how it flows, but it’s ripped from youtube and I’d like to potentially find someone who has already created something similar to what I’m looking for. This isn’t as important as the ET3 animations but thought I’d throw it out there. I can provide blender/cad files for the ET3 system - looking for real world, photorealistic animations. I don’t necessarily have anything specific in mind and I welcome creativity.

Please let me know if you have any interest/questions. The relationships I’d like to build will involve compensatory ET3 shares as well as a potential paid freelance position with Loop Global once funding comes through. Thank you for your interest.

Also, here’s my demo reel from 2015 https://vimeo.com/134806739

Cheers,
Alex Curry
