Cinematic Music Video Animator Needed
Budget: $250 – $750 NZD
I am seeking an expert-level animator or small studio to create a high-quality, cinematic animated short synced to my original song, “I’m a Lion.”
Scope:
->Approximately 30–60 seconds of custom animation.
->Original character design (small girl based on provided references + tall, regal fighters inspired by LOTR Elves)
->Original misty dawn battlefield environment
->Storyboard + animatic to establish camera flow, pacing, and sync to music
->Cinematic camera movement matching song’s emotional arc (starts close-up, pulls back, wide charge at chorus)
->Final polished animation file + source files
Visual style inspiration:
Arcane (League of Legends) painterly, emotional style
Lord of the Rings Elves — tall, fluid, noble, unified
Battle at dawn atmosphere: mist, warm sunrise gold, muted earth tones
Key moments:
Girl sings softly, builds strength
Fighters part to let her pass, thumping chest in solidarity
Final wide charge scene: girl leads with “ROAR!” — all chant “ROAR! I am BRAVE and STRONG!”
Deliverables + Milestones:
->Please propose a cost breakdown by milestone. Suggested structure:
->Storyboard / Animatic (music sync, camera choreography)
->Character + Environment Design (final look of characters + setting)
->Final Animation Draft (full sequence, prior to final polish)
->Final Render + Source Files
