(Handbasket) Vintage 1930s Animated Cartoon Production
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I'm looking for a talented animator to create a 1930s style cartoon featuring human characters. The cartoon will be colorized for online streaming.
Key Requirements:
- Expertise in animation and cartoon production
- Strong understanding of 1930s cartoon styles
- Experience in creating content for online streaming platforms
- Ability to craft engaging human characters
- Proficiency in storyboarding to plan out cartoon scenes effectively
Please include samples of your work that reflect this style.
The expected length of the cartoon is 3 minutes and 5 seconds. There is a song already design for the project, no sound needed.
[Opening Scene]
Time: 00:00 - 00:10
The screen fades in from black.
Shot: Above ground, a handbasket sits calmly on tracks resembling an old roller coaster or minecart.
Background: Bright, sunny sky with fluffy white clouds and birds chirping.
Animation Style: Grainy, vintage cartoon style reminiscent of 1920s-1930s animation.
Time: 00:10 - 00:25
The handbasket begins to move forward, slowly gaining speed.
Transition: The sky gradually darkens, and ominous clouds gather.
Sound Effects: (None, per project requirement, but implied mechanical rumbling).
[Main Sequence]
Time: 00:25 - 00:50
The handbasket accelerates, diving into the ground as the tracks lead downward.
Setting: Transition from above ground to underground.
Visuals: Flames flicker around the tracks and demonic figures appear, eyes glowing.
Warning Signs: "TURN BACK," "SHAPE UP," etc., flash by quickly.
Animation Style: Flames animated in a vibrant, vintage style with exaggerated expressions on demons.
Time: 00:50 - 01:10
The descent gets steeper, and the handbasket races forward.
Visuals: More warning signs, larger and more frantic: "LAST CHANCE," "REPENT NOW."
Demons: Some try to grab at the handbasket but narrowly miss.
[Mid Sequence]
Time: 01:10 - 01:40
Narrative: The handbasket continues downward, the surroundings becoming more infernal.
Visuals: Lava flows, and more demonic figures are seen alongside the tracks.
Warning Signs: Now read "WELCOME TO HELL," "NO TURNING BACK."
Time: 01:40 - 02:00
Animation Style: Intensifies with bold, fiery hues and frantic motion.
Visuals: The handbasket tilts, the tracks twist in wild directions, creating a chaotic descent.
[Climax]
Time: 02:00 - 02:25
Visuals: The handbasket rockets forward towards massive iron gates.
Sign Above Gates: "WELCOME TO HELL"
Demons: Cheer and laugh maniacally as the handbasket approaches.
Time: 02:25 - 02:50
Gate Animation: The gates creak open as the handbasket zooms through.
Transition: The screen shows the handbasket dumping its passengers through the gates.
[Ending Sequence]
Time: 02:50 - 03:05
Final Visuals: A wide shot of the infernal landscape behind the gates, flames roaring.
Last Shot: A final sign reading "END OF THE LINE" hangs ominously.
Screen fades to black.
Note: We can provide the song for inspiration to aid in the work product.
