Sci-Fi 3D Animated Creature for Film
Budget: $200 – $1,200 USD
Our team is in need of a skilled and creative 3D animator who can create, rig, and animate a simple Sci-fi creature model in Blender and export the deliverables in a .glf or .gltf format compatible with After Effects (Advanced 3D). The creature is a space troll designed as a giant eyeball with fleshy eyelids and tentacles. This is for a new ultra low budget feature film from award winning indie filmmaker Andrew Edison (writer/director of the cult comedy, BINDLESTIFFS, produced by Kevin Smith).
Key Requirements:
- Proficient in 3D modeling and animation in Blender.
- Prior experience in creating animated 3D elements for film/video/games.
- Strong understanding of the design and motion of creatures.
- Ability to create smooth, realistic floating and hovering movements, blinking, and the fluctuation of the eyeball’s iris.
- Creative intuition, collaboration skills, and a passion for independent film.
Work Overview:
- Two collaborative zoom sessions with the director to understand and lock down his design.
- Creating the creature model in blender with up to two reasonable revisions.
- Adding shading and textures - Rigging the creature for animation.
- Creating 5 loopable animations (Idle. Floating. Blinking. Etc.) with some tweaks from director
- Delivering on agreed upon deadline .gltf or .glb files - each no more than 7 secs long.
Despite the shoestring budget for this project, fairly compensating our freelancers and respecting their time and effort is important to us. Lower quotes from passionate up and coming 3D artists looking to gain more film/tv experience and a strong work sample will also be considered.
This project is ideal for a freelancer with a creative mind, a passion for creature features, and strong technical skills in 3D animation.
