I’m producing a complete retelling of the Ramayana as YouTube Shorts. Each episode will be around 20 seconds, shot in a vertical 9:16 frame, and I need 300 episodes to cover the epic step by step. The lead character must carry my brother’s exact facial likeness throughout the series, so facial capture or accurate 3D sculpting is essential. You’ll be handling full-pipeline 3D animation: story-boarding, modeling, rigging, animation, lighting, and final compositing. I already have detailed textual prompts for every scene plus visual references for costumes, environments, and key poses; use them as guidance but create fresh, original designs. While I’m flexible on software, your workflow should comfortably export clean 1080 × 1920 MP4 files ready for immediate upload to YouTube Shorts. Deliverables • 300 rendered MP4 shorts (≈20 s each, 1080 × 1920, 30 fps, stereo audio placeholder) • High-resolution hero character model with my brother’s face, fully rigged and textured • All project files (scenes, textures, rigs, sound beds) organized by episode Acceptance criteria • Brother’s facial likeness is instantly recognizable and remains consistent across all episodes • Fluid, cinematic 3D animation—no jarring cuts, missing frames, or clipping meshes • Visual continuity (lighting, palette, costume) maintained from episode to episode • Shots match my supplied prompts; any creative deviations are discussed and approved in advance I’d like to start with a single prototype short to lock down workflow, style, and likeness before green-lighting the full batch. If you have a reel showcasing character-driven 3D animation—or better yet historical-mythological work—send it my way so we can hit the ground running.
