Gym Exercise 3D Animations

I work for a company who provides IT solutions to the health and fitness industry including electronic workout and fitness tracking systems. We require a replacement exercise library for our current licensed one. The library will consist of exercise descriptions, pictures and animations. We are open to suggestions or alternate methods where a reduction in cost may be found. PLEASE NOTE - This is project is currently in its infancy and I am assesing its feasibility. It is advertised elsewhere and may be withdrawn or cancelled. We may decide to use real video footage instead of 3D animation . I would like to open a dialogue with anyone who thinks they can provide the following services. A provider will be slected who we belive can meet our quality requirements and not just on cost. Animation Specification: Create animations and render stills by moving a high quality 3D mannequin through a range of exercises. The animation does not need to be photorealistic or indistinguishable from a video shot of a model, its purpose is to instruct, but it must look professional, move realistically and be executed to a good standard. • You will be provided with written descriptions for each exercise and animations for some of the exercises. • You will need to provide your own expertise on how to perform them correctly. • 400 different exercises, 2 views of each exercise. • Animate a single repetition in full, that starts and ends in the same position. • One repetition of the exercise would typically last 3-15 seconds depending on the exercise. • Use a high quality 3D Mannequin and animate realistically, to be approved by us. • Good lighting and plain backdrop. • Include modelled props including basic fitness equipment, e.g. Mat, Swiss Ball, Dumbbells, Barbell, Bench, etc. There will be no major equipment e.g. treadmills, bikes, leg presses or other machinery. • Uncompressed AVI movies at 640*480 for each exercise and view. • Uncompressed TIFF stills at 1600*1200 resolution. We Require: • Approximate lead time. • Quote / Cost, preferably broken down where appropriate (or estimate with information required before quotation can be given). This can be more than the $5000 limit below. • Relevant samples of your work to illustrate the quality you would expect for this price.
