We are up against a difficult deadline, and our creative staff is overloaded with work. We would like to outsource critical parts of this existing project to talented, experienced Flash animators. Download the attached files to understand our project in detail. Our company is developing a comprehensive mathematics instructional software program covering 13 major topics ranging from elementary arithmetic through algebra and trigonometry. The program takes an innovative approach, with animated avatars teaching the subject matter as though speaking to one another. It also includes numerous special purpose "widgets" that help solve specific problem domains. Each "chapter" of the program is scripted as several lessons. The dialog will be recorded with professional voice actors. While the avatars speak, the subject matter is meaningfully illustrated in a large presentation window. **That's where we need your help. ** You have a good chance of being hired (in comparison to other rent-a-coder RFPs). **This posting is like 4 RFPs.** We will accept one contractor directly in response to this RFP, and then we will set up private RFPs through rent-a-coder for 3 more contracts, *all of which will be based upon responses to this RFP.* Future opportunities with us are also likely. ***More details below. Read All.*** ## Deliverables (16 March, 2006) **_Important update in response to bidder questions: _** **This RFP does not involve any animation of avatars. It also does not involve creation of widgets. Your task is only to implement the animation of the subject matter. We will handle the other aspects of the project. I have updated the .zip file to include a small .exe showing one lesson from an earler chapter about probability and combinatorics. You can view this .exe and also see the script itself (also included in the updated .zip). The topic presented is factorial notation. Handwriting fonts are also now included in the zip. Make sure you are aware of the scope of work entailed in animating a chapter.** **You will greatly increase your chance of winning this contract if you impress us with a sample of work based upon the guidelines below.** We are not interested in boilerplate responses about your esteemed capabilities. As they say, "talk is cheap". **Win this RFP by demonstrating that you can quickly understand and act on our requirements.** *Using the specified guidelines, please send a _very brief_ sample animation based on any mathematical or engineering concept of interest to you. For this demo of capabilities you are welcome to use any portion of the sample scripts that we have included. * Note: **Altogether, we plan to hire 4 Flash animators to work in parallel, collaborating loosely with our team.** **Each will be hired through a separate rent-acoder RFP approval. ** We will assign the following chapter animations to the selected graphic artists. Please state your preference (if any). - PreAlgebra - Algebra I - Algebra II - Geometry or Trigonometry *It is useful to have familiarity with these subject areas, but* *you do _not_ need to be an expert*. The chapters are scripted, and we will clarify any aspects that are in doubt. We will make our hiring decisions within 1 to 2 weeks and then we will need you to complete the animation for the chapter within 2 weeks. The scripts show likely timing of the dialogue once recorded. You must build presentations that will be roughly in sync to the expected voice timing. After Voice Overs are complete (April 10th), you will be expected to fine tune the animation timing so that it is closely in sync with actual spoken dialogue. All stock images that you use must be approved by us for stylistic consistency and for copyright authorization. Deliverables: 1) Complete and fully-functional working Flash animations in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be delivered on schedule (to be agreed and documented thru rent-a-coder communication) and in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement). ## Platform Macromedia Flash running on Windows XP
