Wild-Eye Science: High-Energy 2D/3D Animation

I am hiring a talented animator to produce a lively, 60-second educational short. The style is a unique mix of realistic environments and expressive cartoon characters.

What I’m Looking For:
• Visual Style: High-quality, textured 3D/photographic backgrounds paired with 2D character overlays.
• Characters: Animals and humans with "big eyes" and exaggerated, expressive faces.
• Pacing: Fast-paced editing with snappy cuts and dynamic camera zooms to keep viewers engaged.
• Audio: Tight synchronization between animation, sound effects, and voice-over.
Deliverables:
• Character design and rigging (Bold/Cartoon style).
• 3D environment creation or compositing.
• Full animation and final color-graded video (1080p).
• Working project files.

To Apply:
Please share your portfolio highlighting any 2D/3D hybrid work and let me know your preferred software pipeline (e.g., Blender, After Effects). I will provide the script and VO; you bring the visual magic!
