Realistic 3D Character Animation Needed

I have a completed story script ready for production and now need a skilled 3D animator who can bring my characters to life in a realistic style fit for film-level storytelling. The project centres on expressive, believable performances rather than flashy effects, so I’m looking for someone confident with subtle facial acting, accurate body mechanics, and cinematic camera language.

You will receive the script, rough storyboard frames, and reference personality notes for each character. From there, I’d like you to handle modelling touch-ups if required, rigging checks, animation blocking, spline polish, and final lighting playblasts so I can review each stage before render.

Software isn’t locked, but I normally review shots in Maya or Blender, and final files should be provided in an interchange-friendly format (FBX or Alembic) along with the project scene. Please factor in one round of consolidated feedback per sequence; I’ll provide time-coded notes to keep revisions focused.

Final acceptance: the animation must match the script’s emotional beats, lip-sync accurately to supplied dialogue, and be ready for hand-off to my rendering team without additional clean-up.

If realistic character performance is your speciality, I’d love to see a reel or shot breakdown that highlights comparable work.
