Illuminated Animation

**illumin8ed** · 12-11-2007 10:20 PM

Hey guys! Thanks for having this forum.
My name is Anson 'Phong' Vogt, I've spent the past year setting up an animation studio in BC, Canada, and building a virtual network of artists to create an animated series called Illuminated. Artists in Vancouver, San Francisco, New York, San Diego... I would love to meet more people around the world and to build and strengthen the core creative team. We will be producing a manga series of the story in early 2008.

We'll be releasing the first 6 minute chapter in January, 2008. The first chapters happen in the Dreamfield environment and are a blend of 3D animation and manga style illustrations animated in Adobe After Effects. If you're interested in contributing to the project at any level, please contact me directly. anson (at) illuminated (dot) com I can share some more if you're interested.

Thanks for checkin it out, blessings!

Fortune favors the brave.

OMG that is really cool.

were can we watch it?

Will it be syndicated?

We are building the series first online ( http://illuminated.com ) and giving it away so everybody can watch it for free. Once the body of work has matured it will be syndicated. We're producing in full HD ( 1920x1080 ) with Adobe After Effects.

Here's a little glimpse of Aya in the first chapter :
