Realistic 3D Nursery Rhyme Animation

I’m producing a new YouTube nursery-rhyme video and need the entire piece brought to life in 3D. The poem itself is already written; what I’m missing is the visual magic.

Style & audience
– The animation must look realistic rather than cartoonish or highly stylized.
– It’s aimed at babies and toddlers (0-3 years), so everything on screen has to feel warm, gentle, and soothing.

Visual priorities
– Bright, colorful characters are essential; they should instantly capture a young child’s attention.
– Backgrounds can remain simple and uncluttered so the focus stays on the main characters and actions.

Scope of work
You’ll handle modeling, texturing, rigging, animation, lighting, and final rendering, then supply a finished video ready for upload to YouTube. Feel free to work in Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, or the toolset you know best—as long as the final render is clean and flicker-free.

Please include:
• A brief outline of your approach to achieving a realistic yet child-friendly look
• Examples of past 3D work, especially anything geared toward preschool audiences
• An estimated timeline from storyboard to final delivery

Once I approve the storyboard and sample character, we’ll move straight into full production. Looking forward to seeing how you’ll turn this poem into an engaging first viewing experience for little ones.
