Social Media Animator for Mascot Pip

3D Character Animator for Ongoing Social Media Videos

Job description

We are looking for a highly skilled animation and social content creator to bring Pip, our 3D brand mascot, to life across Instagram, TikTok and Facebook.

We will provide the approved Pip character references, branding, scripts and content direction. Your role is to turn these into polished, entertaining short-form videos.

The company and full brand details will be shared only with shortlisted freelancers.

What we need

You will create short videos featuring Pip in real or photorealistic environments, such as venues, attractions, restaurants, accommodation, city locations and everyday situations.

Pip must remain visually consistent in every video. His face, horns, proportions, clothing, colours, accessories and overall appearance must not change between scenes or posts.

The finished videos should make Pip appear naturally present in each location, rather than simply placed over a stock image or background.

Video requirements
Vertical 9:16 format for Reels, TikTok and Shorts
Usually 10–30 seconds long
High-quality 3D character animation
Natural body movements, gestures and facial expressions
Accurate lip-sync when Pip is speaking
Real or photorealistic backgrounds
Realistic lighting, shadows and compositing
Strong opening hooks
Professional editing, sound effects and music
Clear, correctly timed, burned-in subtitles
Consistent subtitle styling
High-resolution MP4 delivery
Separate subtitle file when requested

Pip may speak to the audience, react to situations, introduce activities, explain ideas, tell jokes or guide viewers through different locations and experiences.

What we will provide
Approved Pip character references
Brand guidelines and colours
Scripts, topics or key talking points
Content direction for each video
Feedback and approval

We also want someone who can improve the pacing, storytelling and creative execution—not simply follow instructions mechanically.

Essential experience

Please apply only if you can demonstrate experience in:

3D character animation
Maintaining the same character across multiple videos
Compositing animated characters into real backgrounds
Facial animation and expressions
Lip-sync and dialogue animation
Short-form social media editing
Professional subtitles
Instagram Reels and TikTok content

You may use Blender, Cinema 4D, After Effects, Unreal Engine or suitable AI animation tools. The final result must look professional, and Pip’s appearance must remain consistent.

Please include:

Character animation examples
Examples using real or photorealistic backgrounds
The software and workflow you use
Your turnaround time
How you will keep Pip consistent across every video

Generic video-editing portfolios without character animation examples will not be considered.
