We are going to create an online guide. now I know there are many, some amazing like Encyclopedia of Arda, some less good.
We think that we can create something rather special.
Details will emerge. Meantime we need to start recruiting staff.
So without further ado.
Non-technical
Entry Scribes and ProofReaders
We are still after more people to compile entries for the project and to check entries which have been submitted.
For the former you should have read at least The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, The Silmarillion and preferably The Unfinished Tales. HOME would be helpful but not essential.
You should also be able to research accurately and write up your research to a high standard of English.
This is a long term project and will involve some difficult work. so please only apply if you are prepared to stick with it.
The only reward will be helping to build a great resourse, as well as copies of the guide for your own use at home.
If you are interested please email Fatty@warofthering.net with details of the position you are interested in and why you would make a good candidate for the job.
Proof Readers will need simialr experience, but commerical or professional knowledge of proof reading would be a great help. Either that or a high stadard of education in English Language.
Artists
Artists:
We need more artists to create original images of characters, places etc.
Included line art, paintings, computer art and 3d modelling.
Apply if interested to Fatty@warofthering.net
Language 'gurus'
We are after people with a passion for Tolkiens' many languages and writing systems. this will form a vital part of the guide and indeed may be one ofthe most complex parts to complete.
Those interested in this position should contact Fattyhere (Fatty@warofthering.net).
Technical
3D Graphic Designers
We are after a few people, some to work on modelling objects and others to work on landscapes. Some examples of your work would be handy as would familiarity with the likes of Maya or equivalent.
You would be working with the rest of the team in bringing Tolkien's work to life.
Those interested should contact Fatty@warofthering.net
Map maker/cartographer
We are after someone with either a great interest in map or a professional expereince in creating accurate maps. You wold be working with the Graphics team to provide them with good quality maps to render. Knowledge of heightmaps would be useful as would some sort of geography based degree.
Those interested should contact Fatty@warofthering.net
Flash Designer
We need someone with a lot of experience in designing Flash applications. Now we don't mean that you can use SWISH or create a banner. We really need someone with a good understanding of all the features, action scripts, etc.
Those interested should contact Fatty@warofthering.net
Well that is it for now. We will maintain this page and adjust it as necessary.
As with all positions on the site, there is no payment. Though I daresay some great satisfaction is to be had in working on such a project, as well as some good expereience.
Thanks
