CGI needed for Primeval fan series

[ianredman]

Hi everyone,

Hopefully this is okay in this section? I wasn't entirely sure where to post, so I thought I'd post in here. I'm sure an admin will move this if necessary.

Basically, I'm trying to get a fan series of Primeval off the ground (4 or 5 episodes at this stage), but there's one thing which needs sorting out before it can progress any further: the CGI!

I know there are people out there who can do this sort of thing, but it's a matter of finding and getting in touch with them. I'm basically looking for people who can model dinosaurs/creatures in CGI.

I'm happy to provide any information people want in this thread - I thought I'd join this forum and have a go to see if I can find anyone... I'm a bit at a loss as to where else to try!

All the best,
Ian

Dont know anyone who can help,
but how about using the software that Primeval New World had on the official site, whereby you can create scenes with dinos in.
It would be limited, but at least it would look good in a pilot episode, and perhaps encourage someone to take over and do proper cgi.

Its an iPhone app at the moment.

Here is my suggestion,
You film your pilot episode as normal, but when you want to have a dino in, you do a "found footage" scene, that way you can intergrate the footage made with the app into the episode, without damaging the video quality of the main filming.

So one character finds a dead body, and next to it an broken iPhone, they connect the iPhone to a computer, and "watch" the footage, which of course would show the dinosaur etc.

Check out some of the fan made videos using the app, they look pretty cool
