Hand-drawn animation - Dental Tool Promo
Budget: $3,000 – $5,000 USD
We need someone who can do hand-drawn animation (frame by frame) to create a character (a genie) that will appear on a dentist's shoulder (the dentist will be shot on video, so a real person) for 5 seconds. The dentist's office will also need to be drawn, but it can be fairly simple and stylized and there will be no moving parts in the office itself. It's just the setting we will see for 2 secs at the start and 2 secs at the end.
The genie (see attached doc for visual reference) will touch the tool the dentist is holding and transform it into a new tool (these tools will be the real thing and do not need to be animated). The key animation will be the expressions and body language of the genie, who will encourage the dentist to try out the new tool she has magically made appear in his hand. We will provide a video of an actor showing the expressions the genie should have in the scene.
When the dentist starts using the new tool, we will need a hand-drawn tooth to appear above his shoulder and animation to show the tool sliding into a canal drilled into that tooth. This will be pretty simple. Imagine an animation of a flexible rod being pushed down into a drain pipe and poking around, up and down, in there. This would all be in 2D cross-section, hand-drawn and last about 10 seconds in all (5 secs to show the current tool, and how it's not doing a good job and 5 secs showing the new tool and how much better it performs).
We'll also need a few beads of sweat animated and superimposed on the dentists and patient's foreheads. The patient will also be a real person, shot on green-screen, like the dentist. We'd like you to handle the compositing (combining the animation with the video footage). We will handle all the rest: sound effects, voice, sound design. As you can see, we'll also handle the scenario/scripting and storyboarding (though we would ask you to insert still images of the intended animations in the SB prior to animation).
Once we've had the dentist use the new tool. We just cut back to a scene of him having a quick exchange with the genie on his shoulder. She will nod and wink (as if to say, "You see, much better right?) and then we cut back to a wide shot of her on dentists should in the dental office, and then she disappears with a poof, just like she appeared.
Duration of animation: approx. 15 seconds of character animation (about 10 seconds of up-close facial expressions and 5 seconds of wider shot body movements) + 15 seconds of tooth and tool animation, as described above.
We need a pretty accurate quote to accompany this very accurate brief please. Look forward to your submissions. This needs to be professionally done. Please do not apply if you aren't sure you can do this to a high level of quality. Thank you!
