I’m producing an upbeat cultural showcase and need the entire character-animation side handled in full CGI. The final piece is meant purely for entertainment, so the movement, expressions, and overall energy have to feel lively and audience-friendly. Here’s where things stand so you can jump straight into production: • A rough storyboard, timing sheet, and the music track are ready. • Style references highlight vibrant festival colours, traditional costumes, and exaggerated dance poses. • The runtime will sit at roughly three minutes once edited. Your role covers modelling, rigging, and animating the central performers, then lighting and rendering the finished shots. Whether you prefer Maya, Blender, Cinema 4D, or a similar 3D package is up to you—just keep the workflow efficient and the output broadcast-quality (1080p, 25 fps). Deliverables • Final rendered video sequence (ProRes or high-bitrate MP4) • Clean pass of the characters on alpha for any last-minute compositing tweaks • All project files, textures, and rigs in an organised folder structure Acceptance criteria 1. Performance must sync to the provided music and hit every storyboard beat. 2. Facial and body animation should read clearly from a mid-shot. 3. Colours, costumes, and props stay true to the supplied reference sheet. 4. No noticeable clipping, jitter, or lighting flicker in the final render. If this aligns with your strengths, I’m ready to hand over the assets and kick off immediately.
