This project is a 5- to 10-minute 3D animated short built around fast-paced fight sequences and gunfire. The full script is ready; what remains is translating it into vivid, cinematic visuals and delivering the finished film. You will create the entire visual pipeline, beginning with a storyboard that reflects the script’s beats and combat choreography, then moving on to character and environment design, modeling, rigging, animation, lighting, and final compositing. Fluid collaboration is essential—I may request tweaks to designs, camera angles, or scene timing as we refine the story’s impact. Key tools are up to you (Maya, Blender, Cinema 4D, Unreal, or similar), as long as they support high-quality 3D output and allow easy revisions. Experience illustrating stylised characters, staging action, and handling muzzle flashes, particles, and other VFX is crucial. Deliverables • Complete storyboard approved by me before animation begins • Modeled and textured characters, props, and sets in layered, editable files • Fully animated short (4K preferred) with synced audio and basic sound design • All project files, rigs, and texture libraries for future updates I value clear communication and quick turnaround on feedback. If you’re a professional designer-illustrator who enjoys dynamic action scenes and can stay flexible throughout production, let’s bring this film to life.

Hello, I reviewed your requirements, and the core challenge is translating the scripted combat choreography into cinematic 3D sequences while maintaining clear action, strong camera direction, and consistent character and environment design. I would build the workflow from storyboard and visual development through modelling, rigging, animation, lighting, muzzle flashes, particles, compositing, and synced audio, keeping the assets editable for later revisions. I have worked on stylised 3D characters, environments, action animation, Blender, Maya, rigging, and VFX and can share relevant examples once we connect in chat. Also a quick question, is the visual style already defined through character or environment references, or should the storyboard stage establish the film’s complete visual language? Best Regards, Muskan.

Hello, I reviewed your 3D short requirements, and the core challenge is translating the completed script into coherent cinematic action while keeping choreography, camera work, character animation, environments, and VFX consistent throughout the film. I would build the production around an approved storyboard first, then develop the characters, environments, animation, lighting, muzzle flashes, particles, and compositing as an integrated visual pipeline. I have worked on 3D animation, cinematic action sequences, character animation, and VFX projects and can share relevant examples once we connect in chat. Also a quick question, is the intended visual style already established for the characters and environments, or should that direction be developed during the storyboard stage? Best Regards, MadTech

I’m not sure if you already have a technical script or if one needs to be created. Also, is the 3D aesthetic hyper-realistic or more of a cartoon style? That aspect isn't clear either. I have worked on animated series and a feature film, so I am familiar with the entire process. I’ve created my own animated shorts and worked with various software packages, though I feel most comfortable using 3ds Max with the V-Ray render engine—which is excellent for final output—and handling render passes in After Effects or Natron. Producing a short film like this would require a minimum timeframe of three months or more to cover everything from the technical script, storyboards, and 3D character creation—including modeling, texturing, lighting, and rendering—to post-production and sound. Obviously, the cost isn't $30. In any case, here is my website: https://nedgardo.com. If you’d like to chat, I’m at your disposal! Good luck with your project.

Hi, I'm EnriqueHR. Your project caught my attention because I have experience with 3D animation and understand what it takes to get dynamic action sequences right. I've worked on several short films, focusing on delivering high-quality animations while ensuring the technical side is handled properly and efficiently. Here's how I'd approach it: ▸ First, I'd create a detailed storyboard to align with your script and combat choreography, ensuring every beat is captured. ▸ Next, I'll design and model the characters and environments, focusing on stylized visuals and dynamic action. ▸ Finally, I'll animate the short, incorporating VFX and syncing audio to enhance storytelling. I take every project seriously and focus on delivering work that actually solves the problem, not just checking off the requirements. If this sounds like the right fit, feel free to reach out and we can discuss the project further. Regards, EnriqueHR
