I’m developing a five-minute 3D animation that re-imagines cricket match highlights in a fresh, cinematic way. The piece must feel as real as a live broadcast while still giving me the freedom to push dramatic camera moves, slow-motion shots, and stylised lighting that you simply can’t capture on the field. The narrative focuses on key plays and wickets only—no filler overs—so every second matters. I already have a rough script that notes each big delivery, dismissal, and turning point; you’ll help refine it into a full storyboard, then build, animate, light, and render the scene in a photoreal style. Crowd assets, player likenesses, pitch and stadium environments should all carry broadcast-quality detail. Subtle sweat, grass particles, and accurate ball physics are essential to sell the realism. Sound design and basic score are a plus, but I can add them later if you only handle visuals. Deliverables • Approved storyboard and shot list • Final 5-minute 4K video (ProRes or MP4) • All project files (Maya/Blender, textures, caches, and an editable Premiere/DaVinci timeline) Acceptance The animation will be considered complete once the ball trajectory, player movement, and wicket collisions match real-world physics, textures appear crisp in 4K, and the overall pacing keeps viewers engaged for the full duration without breaking immersion.
