Okay great! Is there a particular place in the forums for posting "help wanted" from Maya experts? I just don't want to violate the forum policies.

You still didn't explain what developers you are looking for, to make a film you need a production team, from programing, VFX, modeling, texture artists , riggers, lighting directors, directors, story department and lots more.

All can be found here although it would be better looking at specific portfolio sites to hire talent or posting on your film studio website the job requirements for submitting a reel demo and more. Is your budget over 5 million?

Artists start around 4 thousand a week to 6 thousand a week, directors and DP are a lot higher than that.

You can also post your company profile on CGsociety or similar sites and describe the job positions and requirements you wish to hire.

If you are just looking for riggers and animators a good hiring source is checking the graduating artist reels at any online animation school.

They can start at a junior level salary.Anything else we can help you with here Dan?

This has been very helpful! We are looking for seasoned Maya development experts to help us short term, say 3-4 months with part-time contract work. Just animation and rigging work; some VFX. I can connect folks with the director if they are interested in helping. Email me, if anyone is interested! Thank you everyone!
