Hey awesome works there, congrats to y'all! 

Can I pitch now? Any open calls? I'm almost 75% of my 3+minutes indie animated videoclip... had a song wrote and performed by an excellent musician for my license,
this is meant promote and help find funding for the shortfilm this music VC presents (something of a teaser). 
I'm more of a character artist (passion), but I've also teached 3D modeling (BGs and props at SAE institute) so for this one I tried to personally model all of the clothes, assets, environments, props, etc...
I also used to teach Shading and render assignments at the same University, so I tried to create as many original assets, BGs and textures as I could, probably more than 90% is original or at least heavily customized.
 
I Used CC4, Zbrush,for my characters, iClone8, Maya (for creating BG), Xsense for Mocap, LiveLink for UE, SP for textures, and some reallusion plugins here and there and finally looking Fwd to render it all in UE...
I recorded pretty much the entire process for about a year now, got great material for tuts, behind the scenes, etc...

Thanks, I'm putting my heart on this one and my money where My mouth is... first renders are looking mint, got more senior artist friends telling me Reallusion might be interested in some kind of collab, so I thought I'd just ask here as soon as I found this old thread beacuse I wasn't in at the time.... 
Cheers
