Animator Needed for 3D animation

We are producing a 30–40 minute 3D animated video titled “Flood Size Comparison.” In this video, we will animate various floods of different sizes and intensities to visualize their impact and scale across a series of sequences.

You will be responsible for creating and animating the flood water, modelling the required environments, and integrating the water simulations into each environment to match the visual style and pacing of the video.

You will be provided with reference files, including ocean and environmental assets. However, most of the models and animation elements will need to be created from scratch.

Main Responsibilities
Modelling and animating flood water in different settings
Creating environmental elements including terrain, water bodies, buildings, and surrounding objects
Creating settings and physics simulations to achieve realistic flood behaviour and scale
Animating camera movements and water interactions
Ensuring animations sync with the pacing and narration
Creating realistic water flow, flooding, and environmental interactions
Video Structure

The video will follow a classic comparison format featuring floods of different sizes and intensities.

Camera pans and zoom-ins to showcase each flood
Flood animations showing different levels of severity, from small to moderate to catastrophic
Visual comparisons of flood heights against landmarks, buildings, and other known reference points
Camera flythroughs showcasing flood levels, movement, and impact
Smooth camera flyovers comparing multiple floods of varying sizes and intensities
Tasks Required
Modelling & Texturing

The main focus will be on creating realistic flood water and environments.

Limited texturing will be required for basic assets such as the sky, water, terrain, and buildings.

Modelling and simulating flood water from scratch will be crucial. This includes creating realistic water movement, flow, depth, and interactions with the surrounding environment.

Asset Breakdown:

Approximately 45 unique models, including:

Various flood water types and levels
Environmental assets
Buildings and structures
Landmarks
Debris and surrounding objects
Environment Creation

Build multiple environments for each flood scenario to interact with, such as:

Coastal cities
Urban areas
River deltas
Residential areas
Open landscapes
Low-lying regions

Additional requirements include:

Lighting and atmospheric effects
Clouds and weather conditions
Water reflections
Realistic terrain
Environmental details
Water simulation and interaction with structures
Animation

Animate the flood water with realistic physical behaviour, including:

Water flow
Rising water levels
Flooding
Water movement around structures
Impact on buildings and objects
Debris movement
Realistic water interaction with terrain

Ensure accurate scaling for each flood scenario relative to environmental assets.

Animations must also be synchronized with narration and scene transitions.

Apply zooms, camera movements, and slow-motion effects where specified to emphasize important moments, such as water reaching a city or flooding a large landmass.

Create seamless transitions between video footage and 3D animation where required.

Final Delivery

The final delivery should include:

Completed project files with all assets integrated
High-resolution rendered video sequences for each section
All working files
Textures
3D models
Scenes
Rigs, where applicable
Water and physics simulations
Animation files
