With a project like this, there is more work to do than just come up with creative content, designs, models, etc.

There is the management and administration, marketing, and sales – related tasks that have to be done….and, on an ongoing basis!

Designers and artistic team members don’t really pay attention to this much nor should they have to. I and other integral project members do.

Let’s talk about networking and partnerships.

Sponsorship is the lifeblood of this project. Since we are literally starting from nothing we have to leverage relationships from outside to provide the fuel to pump the heart of this project. Our team is made of volunteers so sponsors are a much needed part of our success equation.

I regularly contact organizations that mesh with the philosophies of this project. These range from software firms such as Autodesk and Pixologic to educational institutions like Full Sail. Autodesk and Pixologic are already partners and sponsors. We are still working on Full Sail. Nonetheless, these organizations help to promote 3d Art, Design and Film and Production. This is one of the goals of this project.

Others can be organizations that help us perform needed functions. Vastpark for instance is the platform we are building our demo in and Teamwork Project Manager helps us with task and milestone organization. We also have our website hosted with Wix.com, the provider of a easy-to-use flash website development tool.

Our philosophy begins with encouraging anyone that they can dream and can also make those dreams come true if they believe in themselves. We have started with nothing to build a potential planet for the online game Entropia but are are we letting that stop us? By networking with the right organizations we can make all what we endeavor in a reality.
