8-10 Minute Animated Short film Christmas based

We are looking for a talented 3D animation artist skilled in Blender to create an 8–10 minute Christmas-themed animated short film using a professionally written screenplay. The ideal candidate will have experience in character animation, rigging, environment design, and rendering. You should be comfortable with stylized animation styles, ideally with a family/holiday tone reminiscent of Disney or Pixar. The project requires someone who can express strong storytelling through visuals, with proficiency in lighting and texturing to create a magical, cinematic feel. Experience integrating basic sound design, such as syncing visuals with a provided music or soundtrack, is preferable. The animator will collaborate with our creative team and must be able to work under a non-disclosure agreement to protect the project’s originality. We are open to remote freelance applicants. I am a chef and restaurateur based in Tempe, Arizona, with a personal movie idea that I would like to bring to life.

Budget range:
Medium project ($1,500 – 3,000 USD)

Examples:
Think Disney or Pixar for a family-friendly telling of a Christmas tale
