3.5-Minute 3D Cartoon Music Video

I’m producing a three-and-a-half-minute song and need it brought to life as a 3D cartoon that still feels believable. I’m after intermediate-level detail: clean models, clear textures, good lighting—nothing ultra-photoreal, yet far beyond flat colours.

You’ll start from my finished audio track and a rough storyboard, then handle the entire pipeline: modelling, rigging, animation (including on-beat lip-sync), lighting, and final rendering. Blender, Maya, Cinema 4D or a comparable package is fine as long as the workflow supports smooth character animation and solid texture work.

Deliverables
• 3.5-minute 4 K video (H.264, YouTube-ready)
• All project files, rigs, and texture maps
• Two 15-second teaser cuts for social media

Acceptance criteria
• Characters stay on tempo and lip-sync accurately
• Intermediate textures with at least colour and roughness/spec maps
• Consistent, polished camera moves and transitions
• Only royalty-free or original assets used

Schedule: rough animatic within two weeks of kickoff, final render by week six.
If you’ve created similar 3D music or character pieces, I’d love to review them along with a brief outline of your pipeline and any questions you have about the story beats.
