Job ID: 40586912

Budget: ₹12,500 – ₹37,500 INR

Project Title:
3D Animator & VFX Compositor for Mixed-Media Video (Live-Action + 3D Integration)

Project Description:
We are looking for a highly skilled 3D Generalist and VFX Compositor to create a mixed-media explainer video for our brand, Zeqo.

This is NOT a standard video editing job. We are looking for a specific visual style that blends real live-action footage with 3D animated elements to create a "tabletop miniature" effect.

Visual Reference:
We want to achieve a look identical to this style: [Insert Link to Lytmus AI Reference Video or attach the mp4].
Notice how the live-action speaker is in the background, while the 3D animated characters and objects look like physical, tactile clay/plastic models interacting on the desk in the foreground.

Scope of Work / Your Responsibilities:

3D Tracking/Matchmoving: Track the physical table in our live-action footage.

Asset Creation & Texturing: Model 3D miniature assets (desks, characters, UI elements) and apply "clay" or "plastic" shaders to give them a tactile, stop-motion feel.

Animation: Animate the 3D elements based on our script.

Lighting & Compositing: Match the 3D lighting to our real-world studio lighting. Composite the 3D renders over the live-action footage, adding realistic contact shadows, depth of field (lens blur), and glowing UI elements.

Ideal Candidate Requirements:

Expert in Blender, Maya, or Cinema 4D.

Expert in After Effects or Nuke for VFX compositing.

A strong portfolio demonstrating live-action and 3D integration. (If your portfolio is only fully animated cartoons or only standard video editing, please do not apply).

To Apply:
Please start your proposal with the word "TABLETOP" so we know you read this brief. Along with your proposal, please provide a direct link to a video in your portfolio where you have successfully composited 3D objects into live-action footage.
