I’m developing a 12-minute science-fiction short for the international festival circuit and need a skilled 3D animator who can handle end-to-end world building. The story is locked; now it’s all about translating it into a bright, vibrant visual experience that feels instantly immersive. What matters most to me is the look and feel of the universe itself, so I’m placing special weight on: • Detailed environments • Unique character designs You’ll be responsible for designing these elements, then moving them through to finished animation so the film is festival-ready. A vivid colour script, dynamic layouts, and layered files for smooth parallax are essential. If you prefer a particular 3D pipeline—Toon Boom Harmony, TVPaint, Photoshop/After Effects, or similar—let me know; I’m flexible as long as the final assets arrive clean, organised, and ready for DCP creation. Key deliverables will include: – Environment and prop concept art leading to final painted backgrounds – Character model sheets with full turnarounds and expression guides – Fully animated 12-minute sequence at 2K, 24 fps, synced to supplied audio I run quick, structured review rounds and am happy to iterate so long as we stay true to the bright, energetic palette and maintain the intricate environmental detail that gives the story its sense of place. If you love crafting rich 3D worlds and want a piece that will tour global festivals, I’d love to see your reel and talk timeline.
