Animated Videos for Children

I want to become self-sufficient at producing short, child-friendly story videos and I’m looking for an experienced animator who can teach me the craft while we create a few pilot pieces together.

What I need most is help learning the animation software itself—Blender is my priority—so please be ready to guide me through its full pipeline: modelling or importing simple characters, rigging, scene layout, basic effects, and smooth rendering settings that keep colours bright and appealing for young viewers. Alongside Blender, I’d also like step-by-step tutorials in Adobe Animate so I can compare workflows and pick the best tool for each future project.

The end goal for our collaboration is threefold:
• at least two short sample stories (90 - 120 seconds each) featuring simple, colourful characters, clear visual storytelling, background music, and a friendly voice-over;
• recorded or well-documented walkthroughs of every stage so I can repeat the process independently;
• a concise toolkit recommendation list (assets, plug-ins, royalty-free music sources, microphone tips) tailored to low-budget children’s content.

If your background includes creating engaging educational or entertainment videos for kids and you enjoy teaching, outline how you would structure the lessons, the assets you can provide or help me source, and any previous examples that show your style. I’m eager to start practising right away, so let me know your proposed timeline for our first sample video and the teaching sessions that accompany it.
