Hick - A Non-Profit short animated film

'Hick' is a short CG film currently being realized by 3D and traditional artists all over the globe. The plan in making this film is to show it in animation and film festivals upon completion and to learn loads and have a great experience in the process.

We're always looking for new members to our team who can help out with the many aspects needed in creating this type of art form. It's not likely that there will be any financial compensation for the work, but anyone working on the film will be credited and be able to use their elements to help build up their skills and portfolio. Please contact us at hick@qwertyjuice.com for more information or to volunteer for a task and join the team!

CURRENTLY RECRUITING NEW: 3D Animators, Riggers, Lighters, Maya Hair Specialists, Texture Artists, Render Specialists, TDs, Illustrators, Storyboard Artists, Layout Artists, Compositors, Editors, Generalists and More!

Synopsis

Joleen is 8 months pregnant when she walks into the local pub for a glass of water to cure her hiccups.

The strange and motley cast of regulars are eager to try out scores of home remedies on their new guinea pig... with startling consequences.

This dark comedy proves that it's not a boring, rainy, Sunday afterall!

Hi Sam, Had a look at the shot and I think it's coming along nicely.  Here are some notes: At the beginning of the shot she bounces up and down twice; peaks at f20 and f38. I find the intensity of these movements in here head to be very…

Ok... that's a shame because as it was in the zipped folder I had assumed you wouldn't touch it. It does have some major technical problems with Clancy and that's why it was put aside. I'm hoping to be ablke to resolve this or…

Hi! I looked at your file a bit deeper and I see that it does not contain the Set reference and that the hand controllers problem was an error we had from an old file we had to discard. Can you please let me know what scene name you started…

Hi Sam, Had a look at the shot and I think you've done a great job on the blocking.Watch the mouthshapes for the 'o' shapes. I think they need to be a bit more round to read well, but if the rig won't allow then I think you just…
