Looking for a Creative Animation Partner for an Original Music Video

I’m a poet and songwriter creating my first cinematic music video for an original song. I’m looking for a talented animator who enjoys storytelling and wants to help bring an emotional visual concept to life. I’m seeking a 3D animator with strong cinematic storytelling skills to collaborate on a music video for my song, Crossroads. The project tells the story of a middle-aged Jamaican man who feels isolated in a lively Caribbean bar. The focus is on conveying themes of loneliness and reflection through expressive character animation, camera work, lighting, and environment design. I’ve already developed a stylized 3D character, created multiple scenes using AI, prepared storyboards and references, and have a clear narrative and the original song ready. I want someone who can contribute creatively and help elevate the story with realistic animation, cinematic movements, and emotional pacing. Experience with Blender, Unreal Engine, Maya, Cinema 4D, or similar tools is preferred.
