Introducing the Aniboom Animation Marketplace

by Team Aniboom on August 1, 2011

Aniboom producer characterHave I got some exciting news! The Aniboom Virtual Studio is expanding to include the Aniboom Animation Marketplace, where anyone can post an animation-related project and get it done by our qualified animation professionals from around the world.

Projects in the Marketplace can be as small as creating a background design or as big as a complete animated clip. This means it can be used to help out with a task on an ongoing animation project, or to actually make the whole project. Our pool of thousands of animation professionals allows the Virtual Studio the ability to find the best creators to work on each task. Among the professionals available are storyboard artists, concept art, character and background designers, 2D/3D animators, modelers, riggers, texture artists, matte painters, lighters, supervisors, production managers and more.

Final say on choosing the creator to work on a task goes to the producer who posted the project. After receiving a list of suggested eligible professionals, the producer decides who to work with, based on skills, experience, previous work and the creator’s demo reel.

This is good news for creators as well. The Marketplace offers a wide range of projects to work on and the option to browse through those that are offered to them and choose the ones they are most interested in and are available for.

I can’t wait to see the cool projects that come out of the Aniboom Animation Marketplace! What do you think about the idea? Please share your thoughts.

At the top of the page, click on the “Work” toolbar and then click on “Apply.” This will take you to the application page for the Aniboom Virtual Studio. Or simply follow this link: http://www.aniboom.com/Work/Apply/. Fill out all of the required information in Step 1: “Details”, and then click “Next.” Under Step 2: “Skills and Software” — click on “Additional Skills” and then the choices will expand and you should click on “Voice Talent.” Then click next to move onto Step 3: “Demo Reel.” At this step, you should upload your Voice Over Demo Reel or Portfolio. Then please fill out the “Your Experience” category as thoroughly as possible. Good luck!

Can your services be used to create a virtual shopping center to aide on a presentation?

Team Aniboom October 18, 2011 at 10:03 am

Hi there! Here is some information about our services. Please e-mail productions@aniboom.com for more information or questions. Thaknks!

Here is the link to create a task in the Aniboom Animation Marketplace: http://www.aniboom.com/Post/Create-Task/

ABOUT:
If you have an animation project – no matter what the size or type, whether you are a production studio seeking detailed storyboards or an individual wanting to create an animated birthday card for your spouse, you can get it done at the Aniboom Animation Marketplace. This extension of the Aniboom Virtual Studio utilizes our pool of thousands of animation professionals from around the world to reach the most suitable creators for each project.
Our Marketplace also addresses the needs of production studios and companies to complement their production and creative capabilities with qualified, professional and cost-efficient animation resources for projects of various types and sizes. These professionals are ready to work and include storyboard artists, concept artists, character and background designers, 2D/3D animators, modelers, riggers, texture artists, matte painters, lighters, supervisors, production managers and more. This means you can order anything – from components of the animation process, such as illustrations, character design and concept art to fit in with any ongoing project you may have, up to a full scale animation.
HOW IT WORKS

Post Your Task

Describe the task you need. Post it at http://www.aniboom.com/Post/Create-Task/. Supply details such as type of animation and level of complexity, and think about what an attractive title would be in order to draw in creators to want to work on your task, for example: “Character Design for 2D Animated Children’s Film.” For help with posting and defining your task, please contact us at productions@aniboom.com.
Review Suggested Creators
A list of eligible animation professionals will be created, according to who would be a suitable match for your task. You then can review their profiles and previous work in order to choose the creator you feel would be the best for the job at hand. For help with choosing a creator, please contact us at productions@aniboom.com.
Transfer Payment to Aniboom
Before assigning a task to a specific creator, we request that the fee be paid. We then safeguard the payment until the task is completed to your specification and approval. This process is to ensure peace of mind to both you and the creator. The creators know that they will be paid once they finish the work, and you can rest assured that your money will not go to the creator until you are satisfied with the results. Aniboom’s fee is 15% of the cost of the task, or a minimum of $10 (the higher of the two). For more details, please see the Terms of Service.
Select Creator & Review Work
Assign your task to the animation professional of your choice. You will be able to see the progress of your task at every step of the way through your Task List and give comments and direction directly to the creator working on it.
Approve Work
Once you are completely satisfied with the result, you may approve the creator’s work and payment and receive your completed project.
