3D Animated Tribute Video for Funeral
Budget: €30 – €250 EUR
My name is Serena, and I am speaking on behalf of the entire Dreier family. On October 21st, my father passed away after a long and difficult battle. He left behind seven children — one of whom is me, Serena, 25, from Germany. We are currently planning his funeral, and for the memorial gathering that follows, we are looking for a freelancer who can create a 3D animated video for us. The characters should resemble the Disney style, for example like those in the movie Encanto. The video should show the future of those he left behind — all seven children, his wife, his ex-wife, and his Taekwondo friends. I’ve written down all my ideas in detail to serve as a guide. In the story, my father appears from heaven and visits each of us individually, offering love and support. Each visit will be accompanied by a different song, which I have already selected. My father should be shown as an angel — someone who can touch and comfort us, even though we, the living, cannot see him. There has been a lot of pain in my family, and I want this video to bring joy, peace, and hope as a final gift of love. I would be truly grateful to find someone who can join me in bringing this heartfelt project to life. We are facing significant expenses due to the funeral, so I deeply appreciate anyone who can accept my offer with understanding and kindness. With love and gratitude, Serena and the Dreier Family
The IDEA :
(I am open to suggestions regarding the length of the video. The songs should not be played in their entirety, but rather for approximately 10-35 seconds each. My budget is fixed at €250, and unfortunately, I am unable to exceed this limit due to the substantial funeral costs.)
I wrote all down as detailed as possible, i hope this helps
The video should offer a glimpse into the future — maybe with the words “A glimpse into the future” shown at the beginning.
It should start in heaven, where my dad appears happy, healthy, and as an angel, sitting on a cloud.
Next to him on the cloud are his cigarettes and a cup of coffee.
He looks down toward Earth.
That will be the intro.
Then my dad should appear to each of us, one by one, to offer his love and support.
⸻
Alfred (Dad):
He should appear in the video with wings and a halo, just like the angel emoji.
I will send photos of each person so that the animated characters can truly resemble the real ones.

Scenes
(Son, 22 years old) – Alfredo:
My younger brother Alfredo is sitting on a plane to LA — you can tell from the screen or display on the seat, or from the view out the window showing the world below.
He’s trying to sleep but feels restless. Then my dad appears beside him as an angel, sitting on the seat next to him. He gently moves Alfredo’s head onto his shoulder, strokes his hair, and says:
DU BIST SO UNFASSBAR FLEISSIG MEIN PRINZ!
My brother leans on him and falls asleep together with our dad.

⸻
My father should appear only as a spiritual angelic presence — we can feel him, but we cannot see him completely.
For the transitions, I’d like to give full artistic freedom — it could feel like a call from us to him, or like a sign in the sky showing that he’s being drawn to a specific person next.
⸻
(Ex-wife, 72 years old) – Gabi:
Gabi, my father’s ex-wife, is standing in the bathroom deciding which makeup to use.
She is an elegant woman who likes to wear makeup and dresses with sophistication.
She hesitates over which eyeshadow to choose — my dad watches her and then points to a color, which she finally picks.

⸻
(Wife, 59 years old) – Marcelina:
At first, we see her from behind, standing in the kitchen wearing an apron while cooking.
Then my dad appears beside her at the stove, tastes the soup with his finger, and when she’s about to choose a spice, he shows her which one is missing — she picks it.
He tastes the soup again, kisses her on the cheek, and whispers in her ear:
DU BIST EINFACH MEIN BOBBEL!
My mother smiles.
(If possible, please add subtitles for each line he says.)

⸻
(Daughter, 26 years old) – Morena:
She’s sitting at her desk, unsure which of two contracts to sign.
She looks uncertain, and at that moment my dad appears as an angel, looks at both contracts, takes her hand, and helps her sign the right one.
He strokes her head and says:
GEMEINSAM SCHAFFEN WIR DAS PFLÄNZCHEN!
From minute 0:49 – as long as you think fits:

⸻
(Son, 45 years old) – Marlon:
He’s in the gym, sweating as he tries to lift a barbell but can’t at first.
My dad watches and cheers him on. When he sees Marlon struggling, he comes closer and helps him lift it — together they succeed.
Both are happy, and my dad says:
ICH BIN SO STOLZ AUF DICH MARLON! ACH, UND HATICE DIE FIND ICH GUT.
https://youtu.be/dvgZkm1xWPE?si=FL_VDH3jEt9ybZd5
⸻
(Son, 45 years old) – Angelo:
He’s sitting in his car in the morning, heading to work.
He’s a supervisor at a painting company, so his clothes should look like he’s going to a construction site — work clothes with paint stains.
He turns on the car radio.
My dad appears on the passenger seat.
Without Angelo touching anything, the station suddenly changes — because my dad switched it — and a metal band starts playing.
My dad says:
ICH WAR IMMER DEIN GRÖSSTER FAN!
For the radio switch:

Before the switch (please wait after the line “I’m looking out for you like I always do” in the song for the transition):

⸻
(Son, 50 years old) – Ramon:
He’s in his bedroom, putting on his shirt and checking the time.
He still needs to tie his tie but struggles.
Then my dad appears and helps him tie it.
My dad stands behind him, looking over his shoulder with pride, and whispers:
AUS MEINEM KLEINEN RAMON IST EIN MANN GEWORDEN, DASS MACHT MICH STOLZ!
https://youtu.be/n4RjJKxsamQ?si=-dcZVyMzijLJ7Ssx
⸻
Serena:
I’m sitting on a bench outside in nature, deep in thought, looking sad.
A butterfly flies by.
Suddenly my dad appears and sits beside me.
He strokes my head, pulls out his pack of cigarettes, and we smoke together.
He says:
ICH VERMISSE DICH AUCH MAUSI!
https://youtu.be/BfK6NDHR_j0?si=t2maSaiS1uCRo9w6
⸻
(Daughter, 55 years old) – Anja:
She’s lying in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Two cats are beside her.
My dad sees her, walks to her bed, and wipes away her tears.
He lies down beside her and says:
MEINE ERSTGEBORENE, MEINE KÄMPFERIN GIB NIEMALS AUF, ICH BIN BEI DIR!
https://youtu.be/XZfyyk0_Yqs?si=NOXcTs0D3Y6DSz_I
⸻
Reinhard Langer (Taekwondo friend):
He’s sitting on a chair, writing something down, dressed in a tracksuit at a Taekwondo tournament.
Then my dad appears and places his hat on Reinhard’s head.
He puts his arm around his shoulder and says:
ICH BIN STOLZ AUF DICH UND ALLE DEINE ERFOLGE, DU BIST EIN WAHRER TAEKWONDO LEHRER!
https://youtu.be/KQetemT1sWc?si=1wbO-48V4I3mQ5IM

Ending:
We see the sky.
The following text should appear while this song plays:

(Leave the text below exactly as written, in German):
Meine geliebte Familie, ich werde immer bei euch sein.
Ich bin so stolz auf jeden einzelnen von euch. Ihr erfüllt mich mit Glück.
Kein Kampf ist zu schwer, keine Last zu groß, kein Weg zu weit wenn ich bei euch bin. Auch wenn ich euch verlassen musste, weis ich das ich immer in eurem Herzen bin. Nichts macht mich stolzer als mein Dreier Clan.
In Erinnerung an Alfred Otto Dreier 14.02.1949- 21.10.2025
At the end, I also have two short audio clips that were recorded as videos.
If it’s possible, I would be very happy if only my father’s spoken voice from those videos could be included here.
They are 18 seconds and 6 seconds long and were personally recorded by my father.
