I’m producing a short video that blends lively 3D character animation with still images, on-screen text, matching motion, and carefully timed sound effects. The core of the job is character-focused: some of the cast is already modeled and rigged, while a few supporting roles will have to be created from scratch so everything feels part of the same universe. You’ll receive the script, reference images, and any existing character files. From there, I need: • New and legacy characters animated in 3D, staying true to the dialogue and emotional beats in the script. • Subtle camera moves and environmental touches that keep the visual flow engaging. • Integration of provided images and text call-outs, each appearing or moving in sync with the narration. • Spot sound effects layered into the final mix so actions and on-screen cues feel punchy and polished. Please work in whichever pipeline you prefer—Blender, Maya, Cinema 4D, After Effects, etc.—as long as the final deliverable is a high-resolution video file with separate audio stem(s) for any last-minute tweaks. I’ll also need the source project files for archival. If this sounds like a fun collaboration, let’s talk timing and milestones so we can bring these characters to life.
