WHAT?
Collaborn Visions is a collaborative productions enterprise which locates and creates paying work for its freelance 'staffers'. It is starting small and will continue to diversify as it is able and into fields either considered desireable or practical by its 'president'. When the time is right, Collaborn Visions(as a service) may go commercial, but commercialization defeats so many benefits that such a move is not a serious consideration at this time and it is thought it never shall be.

WHY?
Collaborn Visions is launching for several reasons, some of them of a personal nature, others concerning market trends and public service needs.

1: To provide cheaper production services for ambitious and passionate would-be producers.

Support: http://www.atlantisstudios.net/comics_custom.htm

2: To create paying work for various interested or desperate artists.

Support: Many artists have ambitions to work in comic production fields, and many others in need of money have the necessary skills to do so and have not considered becoming part of collaborative comic production teams. Persons who join the Collaborn Visions 'staff' will have work brought to them when it is found.

3: To show what money, skills and passion can do when calculatedly fused together.

Support: Between deviantArt and Fur Affinity alone, there are hundreds of artists who can provide various comic production services if only they are invited to and given a chance to develop their skills. This will not be possible for many on anything less than a decently paid basis, and perhaps only in connection with various projects which suit their skills and interests well. Collaborn studios is concerned with locating such ones and matching them up with projects they can enjoy and make income from.

4: To raise funds for various public and private productions, most of which will be produced in connection with Collaborn Visions and/or released through it.

Support ~ Collaborn Visions is slated to handle the initial development of a 2.5 million dollar project over the next four years, a project which it is estimated will offer paying work opportunities to hundreds of writers, artists, audio specialists and programmers. And also numerous other series meant for commercial release.

WHO?
The Founder and Managing Director of Collaborn Visions is a lazy bum and has an often offensive personality, but his intentions are pure and he has started his 'company' for publically acknowledged reasons of his own and with every hope that all who become a part of the Collaborn Visions cooperative will find their reputations enhanced and their yearly income bulstered.

Collaborn Visions is currently unregistered and unlicensed and shall until otherwise necessary continue to be so. It will have no employees, instead relying on aspiring and established freelance artists for securing production services on various agreeable terms and conditions.

HOW?
To begin with, Collaborn Visions will specialize in short term, commissioned productions, ranging from 4-30 pages in length and taking no longer to complete than 1-8 weeks. Such projects will be on a pay-as-work basis and will not involve contracts. Later on, projects of a larger and more lengthy nature will be taken on and contracts involving firm deadlines and monies in advance will be utilized.

Collaborn Visions' basic unit will be each individual person, but its promises of production will rely on carefully formulated Production Teams of from 2-5 persons, each of whom will have their own areas of responsability and expertise, but which areas they will not be limited to unless by their own choice.

WHEN?
As you may be aware, Collaborn Visions is currently recruiting freelance 'staff'. Production commissions will be sought when the first of many reliable Production Teams has been formed and a reasonable degree of freelance support is perceived to be forthcoming; things happen and it is important that customers are not let down. Ever.

ATTRACTIONS:
Collaborn Visions will conditionally accept commissions for the production of comics in any genre, style and of any content rating, whether such productions are intended for private, free public or commercial uses/release. The conditions involve the availability of artists suited to particular projects, contracts where necessary and price negotiations.

Collaborn Visions will offer many courtesy services to show its appreciation for the producers who utilize its services, from complimentary avatar series, banner ads and promotional art, as well as free advertising via its freelance 'staff' for limited periods of time. [Collaborn Visions will not employ any special advertisement staffers, will merely rely on the courtesy of its artists to temporarily run Courtesy Ads in various locations, both here on FA and elsewhere on other appropriate sites they frequent.]

Collaborn Visions has every intention of investing in what is considered a revolutionary new webcomics presentation format called the SSPFF webcomics process, which will utilize what is termed S-Animation features. Once development of the SSPFF process has been completed and it is ready for commercial use, Collaborn Visions will offer print-to-webcomic conversion programming services and original webcomic presentations.

NOTES:
Collaborn Visions is determined to make use only of artists, writers and audio specialists who are listed in the On Demand skills and services resource threads. Utilization of these threads is free and the potential benefits extend far beyond any person's possible relationship with Collaborn Visions. http://www.furaffinityforums.net/sh......php?tid=18019
