Stylized Sci-Fi Onboarding Animations
Budget: £20 – £250 GBP
EXPERIENCED 3D ANIMATORS ONLY. NO 'EXPLAINER VIDEO'. ONLY GAME PLAY/ CARTOON/ ILLUSTRATIVE ANIMATORS.
I’m building five short onboarding screens for a new sci-fi app experience and want each sequence to feel like a highly detailed, stylized cartoon that blends 3D and 2D elements. The goal is to inspire new users by showing—within a few seconds—what the app can do for them. Think vibrant, game-quality assets rather than flat explainer graphics.
What I know so far
• Visual style: unmistakably stylized, rich in colour and texture, with a cinematic sci-fi flair.
• Format: a mix—some shots stay in full 3D, others use 2D overlays or illustrated transitions.
• Duration: five separate loops, each roughly 5–10 seconds, exported in both Lottie/JSON (for app embedding) and MP4 (for reference).
I still need to lock down exact scenes, so collaboration is key. You and I will brainstorm story beats, camera moves and illustrative details together, iterating on rough animatics before moving into final modelling, rigging and compositing.
Deliverables
1. Style frames and colour boards for all five screens
2. Low-res animatics approved for flow and pacing
3. Final 3D models, rigs and layered 2D assets (Blender, Maya or equivalent)
4. Polished animations with alpha where required, delivered in Lottie/JSON and MP4
5. Source project files, clearly organised
Acceptance criteria
• Smooth 24–30 fps playback inside the target iOS/Android build
• Visual consistency across all five screens (lighting, textures, line weight)
• Clear depiction of each core app feature within its dedicated screen
• All assets handed over in editable form
If you thrive on detailed world-building, have shipped game or cinematic-quality animations before, and enjoy shaping ideas in real time, this project should feel right at home.
