You tell that overgrown pile of worm-ridden...oh, fuck, I'm bad at this. You old pirate.
Tom, is your audition video still available on YouTube? We could just use that as is, if we can get it downloaded. On the other hand, the raw footage is still linked up-thread and Faldor has thrown the hologram work to you. Third option: BDA are you still up for interface design and implementation on the holograms? There's finger pantomime that needs to be retconned on 3or 4 of the shots. Tracking the non-interactive ones into the comps can be a separate task. if need be.
I don't believe we have a voiceover track for Straya's Master yet. In my head the voice is Obi Wan, deep and calm to offset Straya's mild panic. The script is around here somewhere, if somebody finds it before I do please link it on this page. [edit: I think we locked script at version 3, so look here if you're up for the Big Bad part:

As for volunteering, call your shots with a reply below including your best guess for your completion time/date. Haggling for earlier completion is hereby encouraged, you may fight over these shots for our amusement. Cash and prizes are still on the table, details TBA once things shape up a bit more.
Where all da matte paintahs at?
Abandoned base:
We need to see this on the far shore of the lake, partly shrouded in a mist. On shooting day we imagined that it looked like Hogwarts, but whatever. This will appear in many shots, but probably only needs to be a single image, unless you want to add some matching fore- or mid-ground elements to the establishing shot (Where Straya first speaks). A 4k pixel-wide image should suffice. We pan along the length of it more than once.
Spaceship interior:
This one needs to be subtle, the RV looks pretty good as dressed, but we need to hide some flashlights and a water bottle with something more Sithy. Basically the right and left sides of each frame in Darth Niken's opening scene. The OTS was handheld, iirc, but the other 2 angles were pretty well locked-off.
CGI sapceship exterior is done-ish at the Teague end, but we'll need some specific renders. Cruising through space, landing sequence, and the landed ship (possibly reflecting Niken as he walks around the ship?) from at least 2 angles. That we don't have a cliche' landing gear insert shot yet is an omission I'd just like to point out. Could be Teague, or a (team of) volunteer could borrow his model. Lightwave iirc.
Probe droid CGI is also out-standing. We pondered some examples back in the storyboard phase, but we need more than a still for sure. 90% Creative Control to the artist, where are you going to get a better deal than that?
Not quite ready for saber roto yet, but soon, very soon. Same with matte pulling.
And then there's the whole force-lightning thing.
Maybe Teague can make a sample/tutorial for his new magical method? Barring that, this is a well established field of fan film VFXery; Certainly others have the talent to make this awesome.
All aboard! Mount up! Come on, yew apes!
(Please don't make me do all of that stuff myself...)
