Create a polished Christmas-themed social media advert from an existing creative concept. The visual style, key stills, and an early video draft are already available; the work is to develop these into a complete, touching animation with a premium seasonal-advert feel. The initial draft was made using AI video tools including Runway and Kling, but the outputs had recurring errors. You should be able to take over the production using suitable animation, compositing, editing, or AI-assisted video software, resolving inconsistencies and maintaining the intended style. Deliver a finished, social-ready video remotely within a short turnaround. Please share relevant animation or cinematic short-form work, particularly emotional storytelling, stylised motion, or AI-assisted video production. Read more

Create a high-quality, stylized 3D wildlife animation of approximately 60 seconds for vertical short-form platforms (YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Facebook Reels). The story follows a fire ant colony facing rising floodwaters and forming a living raft to protect its queen and young. The animation should use cinematic camera movement, dynamic close-ups, suspenseful pacing, a strong opening hook, and a satisfying ending. Aim for believable ant behavior alongside a polished, stylized visual approach comparable to Zack D. Films. Scope includes animating multiple ants efficiently with reusable/duplicated models, dramatic floodwater simulation, and fast-paced editing in 9:16 format. Suitable ant models can be purchased or supplied to help reduce production time and cost. Please include your estimated turnaround time, proposed workflow, and relevant examples of cinematic 3D character, creature, or wildlife animation. Read more

Create animation work for a fighting game featuring a large roster of characters. Each fighter needs a core M1/basic attack, a special move, and an ultimate ability; some characters will also require unique or special ultimate animations. The work should support responsive, visually distinct combat gameplay and help differentiate each character’s move set. Animation style, game engine/workflow, asset format, and the final roster scope can be defined collaboratively. Please share relevant fighting-game, action-animation, character animation, coding, music, or game-design experience, along with examples of comparable work. The project is fully remote and the timeline is flexible; help estimating scope and production phases is welcome. Read more

Create a stylized-realistic CGI recreation of an established virtual influencer using private image references. Visual consistency is the priority: facial features, proportions, and overall aesthetic must remain faithful to the reference character throughout the video. Produce an approximately 30-second video of the character seated and speaking, with subtle arm/body gestures, convincing expressions, accurate lip-sync, and natural facial movement. The result should be polished for social or commercial video use, without generic AI artifacts or shifting character features. You may use 3D or another reliable production approach, including AI-assisted workflows where appropriate. Please outline your proposed workflow, estimated timeline, whether reusable character assets/rigs/project files can be delivered, and estimated pricing for future 30-second videos once the character is established. Share relevant portfolio examples showing animated human or digital characters, especially facial animation, lip-sync, and stylized-realistic CGI work. Character references will be provided privately. Read more

Please share relevant character modeling and rigging samples, along with your preferred 3D software and expected deliverable formats. Read more

Create a short animation test or pilot sequence for Midnight Debt, an original anime-style series set in Japan’s underground modified-car scene. The project combines night street racing, garage culture, rivalries and character-driven drama, beginning with a race sequence under a bridge. Use the supplied story ideas, character concepts, AI-generated car designs, visual references and early storyboard to develop polished, cinematic animated scenes. Cars should remain recognisable and mechanically believable, with accurate wheel movement, convincing driving action and consistent character designs. Please propose a practical production approach for an initial short test or approximately 150-second short film, including the assets and direction needed before production. Clarify deliverables, timeline, revision process, and whether animation, sound design, voices, music and editable project files are included.

WARNING - NOT ACCEPTING AI ART, ONLY HUMAN MADE ART! Create a complete 2:36 animated music video for Slovenian alternative band Fed Horses’ song “Mama Drama.” The story explores a mother–daughter relationship through satire, humour and tenderness, touching on control, rebellion, guilt, love, and the daughter recognising aspects of her mother in herself. Develop the project from concept through final delivery: visual direction, narrative treatment/script, character design, storyboard, and animation. The band will supply the track, original Slovenian lyrics, English translation, and visual references. The narrative should follow the lyrics’ emotional progression while allowing room for an original creative interpretation. The preferred direction is stylised 3D animation with a tactile, clay-like or handmade quality. Aim for expressive characters, exaggerated proportions, surreal visual metaphors, and a slightly edgy punk-inspired look balanced by softness and emotional warmth. The daughter should be loosely inspired by the singer’s appearance in the Plus Minus video, interpreted in your own style. The supplied references indicate the desired mood, texture, and character sensibility—not the same production scale. A simple, inventive approach is welcome, and original Slovenian lyrics may be incorporated on screen where creatively appropriate. Please share relevant work, initial creative thoughts, and a proposed production timeline. Read more
