I’m putting together a short 3-D cartoon aimed purely at entertaining viewers on social media and need a skilled animator to bring it to life. The piece should feature lively, caricaturesque characters, smooth motion and eye-catching colours that feel right at home on Instagram, TikTok and similar feeds.
You’ll handle the full animation cycle: modelling, rigging, texturing, lighting, and final compositing. I’m open to the toolset you’re most comfortable with—Blender, Maya, Cinema 4D, Houdini—so long as the final render looks polished and loops cleanly on mobile screens.
Key points
• Purpose: entertainment only—no product plugs or corporate messaging
• Platform: social channels, so aspect ratio and duration should fit feed norms (square, vertical or horizontal; 15–60 s—let’s decide together)
• Style: playful, caricaturesque rather than photo-realistic
• Audio: basic sound design or royalty-free music bed appreciated but not mandatory
Deliverables
• Final video in MP4/H.264, ready for upload
• Still cover frame (PNG/JPEG)
• Editable project files so I can archive or update later
If you’re excited about crafting quirky characters and a fun mini-story, send a brief note on your approach and a couple of links to past work with a similar vibe. Let’s make something share-worthy!
