About us

"Venus Rises" is an independent science-fiction series created and produced by J. G. Birdsall. The concept for VR was first drafted in 2002, where it laid dormant until the first cast was assembled in 2004. Since then, there have been two incarnations of the series, leading up to the current team's efforts launched in Spring 2006. This is J.G.Birdsall's first fully featured series using the internet as the primary medium of distribution.

 
Who built the sets?
The sets were built from recycled US Army, Navy, Air Force, and aerospace materials. All of the sets you see in "Venus Rises" were designed and assembled by J. G. Birdsall. His set construction and set rental services are available though Hermit of the Mountain.
 
Who did the 3D modeling?

The 3d modeling for "Venus Rises" was an international effort that pulled together talent from the United Kingdom, Canada, Malaysia, and the USA.

 
Are there any job openings?
Although there are no paid positions, we are always looking for skilled volunteers with a serious interest in the genre. Here are the areas in which we could always use a hand:

3D artists - for visual effects, animations, and modeling.
PA's - production assistants are locals who help out with minor jobs during shoots.
Cameramen - must come with own equipment (Panasonic DVX100a or 100b).
Sound Engineers - original sound FX and musical scores.
Actors - to play minor roles throughout the series. See our casting call bulletin for more info.
