Looking for a Creative Animation Partner for an Original Music Video

I am a poet and songwriter working on my first cinematic music video for an original song, Crossroads. I am seeking a talented 3D animator with strong skills in cinematic storytelling to help bring an emotional visual concept to life. The video explores themes of loneliness and reflection, following a middle-aged Jamaican man in a lively Caribbean bar, highlighting the emotional contrast between his isolation and the bustling environment.

I have established a stylized 3D character, produced multiple AI-generated reference scenes, created storyboards and visual references, and written a clear narrative. I am looking for a creative partner who can elevate the project with realistic character animation, smooth camera movements, improved scene transitions, believable environments, crowd interaction, and strong emotional pacing. Experience using Blender, Unreal Engine, or similar software is preferred. The animation should have the feel of a cinematic short film, focusing on thoughtful, reflective, and visually expressive storytelling.
