[TheOrigin]

Hallo dear Science Fiction Fans,


My name is Matthias Schaller and I'm the inventor of The Origin. In the following text I want to introduce our show.

First of all: You wanna see some footage of our show? Visit http://www.facebook.com/findtheorigin to get a closer look.

The Origin is an international co-production with artists from countries like America, Austria, Canada, England and Germany. Our show will be modeled and animated completely in 3D which will come into its own especially on 3D TV sets. We plan a release on DVD, Blue-Ray and via download.


With The Origin we succeeded in inventing a concept orienting very near the fan base, thanks to crowd funding we are financially independent and what's more, it gives us near infinite possibilities concerning storyboard and design of the scenes

Now, what is The Origin? The Origin starts a brand new science fiction saga dealing with numerous colonies, and lots of constantly changing internal and external threats. While designing the basic concept it was very important to me to avoid typical Science Fiction clichés: aliens speaking English, spaceships exploding vociferous in space, military ranks like in the US Army

General Admiral
Colonel
Major
Captain
Lieutenant

But now let's talk about the the story itself:
The Origin is about a race called Ephauru. Environmental conditions forced them to build a town above the clouds … and a technological masterpiece arose. But when they realized that their resources were running short they started to go for new goals: they set out to explore outer space … to build colonies, six in number.
Since the ships they sent out only had sub light engines they had also only one option to reach habitable planets: they had to spend the very long journey in stasis capsules. The distance they travelled was enormous and one day they reached a distance, where radio transmissions would need 100 years to reach their home planet. And when nothing ever came, the mission to conquer space became a legend.
Lots of years later they decided to renew their attempts to reach out to the stars and one of the ships they sent out ran into a strange alien race which called itself Crionis.

At the moment we are working day and night on the pilot for our science fiction series 'The Origin'. Honestly, we can't say exactly when we it will air and we we'd prefer not to make any predictions because we not only want to make our series in High Definition, but because we are very detail-oriented. That does apply to the story, the models, the textures and everything else.

To hold that standard and to be able to air it as soon as possible we'll need more team members, especially in the following areas:





Modeling:

It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or a pro, the question is … are you motivated, are you a team player, are you adaptive? Then you'd be perfect for our modeling team whatever software you are using and if you lack know how we have tailor-made tutorials for you. The only really important thing is motivation.



Texturing:

It's the same with texturing … it doesn't matter if you are a beginner or a pro, it's the will that counts. It's not a requirement, but it would be good if you have basic knowledge about image editing and texture photography.

Texturing

Auch hier gilt: Egal ob Anfänger oder Profi, allein der Wille zählt. Hilfreich, jedoch keine Voraussetzung zur Teilnahme sind Grundkenntnisse in der Bildbearbeitung sowie dem Fotografieren von Texturen.



Animation:

Here you need some knowledge about Maya because it's very complex in scenes with a lot of movement of the characters.

Animation

Hier sind gewisse Maya Grundkenntnisse eine Grundvoraussetzung zur Teilnahme, da sich dieser besonders in Szenen mit viel Bewegung seitens der Charaktere sehr komplex darstellt



Why should you join us? … Good question. And I do have the answers.

We are having a lot of fun creating something completely new, something that will counteract the dying of the Science Fiction genre. You'll get to bring in your own ideas and of course you can pass … competent … criticism. You'll learn a lot about filmmaking, gain a lot of experience. There won't be any decisions behind closed doors, they'll be made by majority decision because we don't want to redline anybody, we are all on a par.





Note:

Our team is spread across the whole globe and we are talking English with each other. You don't have to be fluent in English, but basic knowledge is required in all areas.
