Emotional Mental Health Story Animation
Budget: £10 – £20 GBP
Job Title:
Emotional Short Animation (No Dialogue) – Mental Health Story
---
Project Overview:
I’m looking for a skilled animator to create a short, emotionally impactful animation (approx. 3–4 minutes) that tells a personal story about mental health, resilience, and overcoming difficult life experiences.
The video will have no dialogue or lyrics and will be driven entirely by visuals and a backing track (I Can’t Carry This Anymore – or a similar licensed alternative if needed).
The goal is to create something deeply emotional, cinematic, and relatable.
---
Creative Direction:
The animation should focus on visual storytelling and symbolism, not literal or overly detailed scenes.
Key themes:
- Family separation
- Contrast between safe vs difficult environments
- Fear and emotional struggle
- Hitting a low point
- Gradual recovery / continuing forward
Tone:
- Dark, emotional, but ultimately hopeful
---
Visual Style:
- Minimalist / semi-abstract preferred
- Simple character design (silhouettes or low-detail characters)
- Strong use of color to represent emotion:
- Warm tones = safety
- Cold tones = isolation
- Darkness = internal struggle
Examples of style inspiration:
- Inside Out (emotional clarity through visuals)
- Minimalist animated short films
---
Scope of Work:
- Full animation (approx. 3–4 minutes)
- Scene-by-scene storytelling based on a provided script
- Basic transitions and camera movement (no need for overly complex animation)
- Syncing visuals to music for emotional impact
---
Deliverables:
- Final video (MP4, HD or higher)
- Optional: project files (to be discussed)
---
What I’m Looking For:
- Strong storytelling ability (this is more important than technical complexity)
- Experience with emotional or narrative-driven animation
- Ability to use pacing, lighting, and composition effectively
- Good communication and willingness to collaborate
---
To Apply:
Please include:
1. Portfolio or examples of similar work (especially emotional or story-driven projects)
2. Your preferred animation style/tools (e.g., After Effects, Blender, etc.)
3. Estimated timeline
4. Rough cost estimate
---
Additional Notes:
This project is personal and meaningful, so I’m looking for someone who can help bring real emotion into the visuals—not just animate scenes.
