Job Description

Hello!

Looking for a talented Houdini and/or Blender Artist proficient with 3D character modeling and animation for a scene in an independent feature film.

Description: a "smoke" creature inspired by a Native American myth known as a "water baby". Essentially, a fog would roll in across the surface of a lake, and from it an amorphous but generally human shape takes form. Does not need to be a well defined form, the idea is for it to appear airy and ghostly, with glowing eyes. (In the context of the scene; the main character is coming down from a psychedelic experience and the creature is a hallucination intended to be a distortion of reality (i.e a fog rolling in, a distant campfire creating the impression of " glowing, orange eyes").

We would like to be able to import and trigger this animation in an Unreal Engine environment. Our goal is to film this scene in real time using a LED volumetric stage.

Animation Duration: ~60-75 seconds

Start Date: ASAP

Target Completion Date: June 26th

Production is based in Los Angeles, but this can be a remote position.

If interested, I can provide more reference materials, images and background info, and compensation details.
