Need Rigger

I need a rigger to "re-rig" a character for me. It's a clown mascot for my animation book released in 2006. The model is built and has been rigged by the famous Javier Solsona http://www.rigging101.com/, but the rig needs to be updated and he is now a full-time rigger at Dreamworks.  He rigged the clown for me back in 2006 as help for him to get a Visa, so maybe this opportunity could do the same for you?

A little about me... My name is Angie Jones and I have been animating for twenty years. I wrote a book called Thinking Animation. Again, the clown on the cover of the book was rigged when it was released in 2006. I am sure the joint placement still works and some of the skinning and rigging will be okay. I am mostly concerned with the facial rig. I HATE GUI'S for facial and want direct controls.  

I am a professor now and have no budget, but my book and website www.thinkinganimation.com have quite the following and for the right person could serve as a spotlight needed to get noticed.  I really hate saying that and as an artist I do appreciate the ask I am making here, but again this opportunity helped Javier back in the day so I am hoping this could be a great opportunity for the right person.

I will to offer the rig for free as a learning tool for animators on my website. You will have full credit and the NDA required to use the rig will make it mandatory to list you in all credits.

I would like to turn this around by this Fall before the new school year begins. Hopefully by late July so I have time to promote the release.

Intermediate to advanced rigging skills are necessary.

I hope I can find someone to help me because I don't want to just release another free rig out there that doesn't work.

Please send me an online reel and link to website if interested.
