Infinity Protocol - Hulk vs Thanos fan film
Donation protected
I am working on a short fan film featuring #HULK going toe to toe with #THANOS. This sequence is going to be the biggest thing I ever put together in 20+ years of working on CG animation. I hope you take the time to read the message below and I appreciate absolutely any help with this forthcoming endeavour.
UPDATE 8TH MAY - CHECKOUT THE FIRST TRAILER!!!
INFINITY PROTOCOL TRAILER 1
In December 2016 I completed a fan film animation called IRON MAN GAMMA PROTOCOL.
IRON MAN GAMMA PROTOCOL ON YOUTUBE
The film was a 6 minute short cgi film featuring Tony Stark in his hulkbuster suit squaring off against the Hulk! The film was completely CG animated and rendered at 2k resolution and featured more than 120 shots of mayhem and action and highly detailed characters.
It went viral around the internet and was viewed more than 15 million times on #CGBROS YouTube channel with dozens of positive video responses. On my own smaller channel it received 1 million+ views. There was numerous articles wrote on it and loads of reaction videos created.. it was really enjoyed by many Marvel fans!
The film actually landed me work as an animator on THOR RAGNAROK and SPIDERMAN FAR FROM HOME (credited in both films).. both were hard work but extremely rewarding.
More than any of this though I had an absolute blast making my CG fan film.. it was a chance to be really creative with fantastic cg characters and a world I love to get involved in at any chance I can!
And now I'm working on another CG fan film.. this time Hulk going up against the mad titan THANOS!
I have set up my own small office where I am working remotely for clients on great projects. But this space also allows me to work on my fan film too in my evenings and weekends.
The film is looking to be a 160+ shot sequence with multiple characters and environments and all kinds of VFX. It's simply the biggest project I've ever dove into and I hope to really inspire MCU fans and bring to life some much loved Marvel characters along with some awesome action and hopefully a really enjoyable short story that brings creativity and also tribute to much loved Marvel characters!
However the main problem I have is time! The brunt of this time is spent rendering the CG shots in high resolution. This is where I am hoping gofundme can help.
If I can get funding I can use that money to send my final animation scenes to a renderfarm online. This allows me to render the shots in very high quality using industry standard rendering software that has been used on MARVEL films such as Captain America Civil War! Shots that might take my office computers SIX days to render a 3 second shot.. would take a matter of hours on renderfarms!
However the money and donations also allow me to employ other animators (a few of whom I have worked with on MARVEL films) into spending some of their weekends and late evenings animating shots for this sequence. It would be fantastic to get their help and the quality would only get better!
Finally donations will also allow me to get a good sound studio to help me out with final sound design and really push the quality further!
The goal with this work is to create high level animation and visual quality so that fans really believe they are watching a genuine short fan film as if created by Marvel themselves.
I definitely have the energy and love to create this piece of work.. I have been on this project since September 2018 and spent many of my evenings working on modelling characters & environments.. animation.. lighting and rendering.. researching vfx in industry standard software like Houdini used on nearly every film on the big screen. I have also been producing and directing the whole sequence figuring out what shots best tell the story. It's a gigantic undertaking but I love every part of it!
It will get done one way or another but with your help it will become a truly superlative piece of work and any donations I receive I can hopefully credit the donations in the film credits!
With the help of gofundme and fans I can push it further and make it easier overall!
Any donation will all help massively so thankyou in advance for you help.
