I am producing a new fairy-tale short for children aged roughly 4-8 and need a skilled 3D animator to bring it to life from storyboard to final render. The story centres on a group of engaging fairy characters who guide viewers through a magical world; whimsical landscapes and lovable animal sidekicks can be woven in to heighten the sense of wonder. What I’m after • Strong command of a modern 3D package—Blender, Maya or a comparable tool—plus the ability to handle modelling, rigging, animation and basic lighting/FX within that pipeline. • A clear feel for child-friendly pacing, colour palettes and character appeal; prior credits on kids’ projects will stand out. • Original character design skills: the fairies must look instantly charming and expressive while remaining simple enough for young eyes to follow. • Smooth communication on story beats, style frames and revisions to keep the narrative upbeat and age-appropriate. Deliverables 1. Fully animated video (final length to be agreed, mastered in 1080p or 4K H.264). 2. Editable project files, textures and rigs so I can commission future episodes in the same style. 3. One short teaser clip or GIF for marketing. Please include a link to your reel or portfolio—especially any fantasy or preschool work—and note which software you prefer. I’m ready to start as soon as I find the right creative partner and will share the script and visual references immediately. Let’s craft something truly enchanting together.
