Ron Paul Blimp invades the Death Star:

I have 'shots' that need filling. Please help!

Last week I did a similar request for bluescreen-background 3D models for use in videos. "r3v07ution" provided some here:

http://www.ronpaulcard.com/blimp_blue.zip

I have a particular catchy application for what I'm trying to do with them. Others have been doing various video projects with those and others, and I was able to solve part of my problem with one of the provided angles, but I'm unable to utilize the others for the rest of the shots I need to cover.

I've been trying for days to PM "r3v07ution" but apparently I'm on the ignore list. I need for somebody capable and willing to either provide some snapshots of the 3D blimp to fill my blanks, or to send me the 3D model and tell me what software to use to open and work with it.

I'd like to place the blimp in the hangar somehow overlaying the Millenium Falcon, but still showing the Falcon's exit platform with "Ron paul" walking down it. But unless somebody is willing to do some fancy photoshop work to make it appear right inside there I'm going to scrap the first hangar shot:

In the DRAFT render I provided above I've set "Match Output Aspect Ratio", which effectively cut the original widescreen aspect in half, which can allow for the hangar alterations in particular. I can do further zooming in and etc to make it work. The idea to make the blimp-in-the-hangar concept work is to not show the ceiling of the hangar nor the top of the blimp.
Instead of that drama I'll probably just go with the following shot and forget about doing fancy hangar work altogether:

Original aspects:

So I'm primarily concerned about the in-flight shots. If the Ron Paul Revolution logo could fill the side more and therefore be more visible it'd be a major bonus. If somebody has a different model than the one I've been working with thats fine too. [b]I at least just need the model itself and be able to open it with some free program.

This all might seem like a wast eof time but it's a key segment in a hour and a half long RP foreign policy DEBATE video that I promise will destroy the war on terror myth and garner Dr. Paul even more attention. I've been working on it for months and now I'm down to just polishing off the little details like above and I'm hoping to release it by thsi weekend. I'm frozen on this detail... there's nothing more I can do with what I have. Foreign policy is one of the biggest things holding RP back with the GOP sheep so please help me help him.

BLUMP

Hey I'm still hoping somebody can throw me some Blimp 3D model filler shots OR a blimp 3D model I can work with.

I have virtually the entire 1.5 hour hollywood'esque film done. just need to wrap up some remaining details and polish it all off. This 3D model issue is basically the only thing I cant effeciently and effectively do myself. I'm so close to releasing this thing, it is a Ron Paul foreign policy masterpiece, and time is running out to settle the score on the biggest issue thats holding Ron Paul back in the minds of the Repubican base.
Begging for help here!

Hi,

I will be happy to help you with this. I'm a professional 3d artist. However, your description is somewhat vague to me. If you can email me a detailed description of exactly what you need, along with each of the background plates from each shot (at full resolution, uncompressed) I should be able to build a blimp for you.

Please email me at: erik@allied-studios.com
