3D Character Animation for 5 nursery rhyme videos
Budget: $250 – $750 NZD
I am looking to create 5 X 3D animated nursery rhyme videos in Maya using mostly the character (Lord Sri Krishna) and the scene (a little island) that you see in this video. The 5 videos are each roughly 2 minutes 15 seconds long.

Keen to know what you would charge for this project and learn about your relevant experience. Further details below regarding this project.
The character is rigged with facial expressions and has hair rigged as well now. The island has some basic rigging. Attached is a video showing the facial rigging. I would like the character to be professionally animated with good expressions. For anyone interested in applying for this job, I would be keen to see similar character animation done by you to be assured of your experience. Please share reference videos or links for me to judge.
Along with the animation, I would like the lyrics to appear as well in good ‘child-appealing’ font. Key thing for me is to make sure it looks professional and attractive to kids as a nursery rhyme.
I have attached audio files of all those nursery rhymes I’ll need videos for with this job post. I would like to create videos for all these songs, however, I would like to start the project with one first to see how things go, quality of work etc. If we’re both happy we can carry on with the other songs.
I would be keen to get a fixed price offer for the entire project (i.e. 5 videos) but happy for you to clearly state the cost for each of the videos separately in your message to me.
For each of the songs, below is how I’m visualizing (high level) it but happy to take suggestions and feedback. As you will soon find out, this would require new objects/characters to be created. Happy for you to quote me for creating those characters separately as well and build into your total price or let me know what you can’t do.
I’m not precious about doing it like I’ve suggested below though, happy for you to suggest what we can do based on the lyrics. Each of these rhymes are inspired from a more popular commonly known nursery rhyme which I’ve named below as well to help you with ideas. I’m keen to keep the cost of doing this down so do let me know what you would recommend without compromising the ‘entertainment’ factor for kids.
Songs:
Krishna has so many cows – (Like the rhyme Mary had a little lamb) For this song I’m expecting the character to walk (and dance along to the song) around the island (areas that look like a farm) with many coloured cows as per the lyrics. Note, Cows aren’t part of the models I have yet.
Krishna Krishna Yes Mother - (Like the nursery rhyme Johny Johny yes mother) With this song I’m imagining showing Krishna drinking milk, eating butter etc (as per the lyrics) secretly in different places and gets caught by his mother. The mother character isn’t available so perhaps we could use a shadows, hair from the back , etc. tricks to make it look like someone is there.
Little Krishna had a farm – (Like the rhyme Old McDonald had a farm) We show Krishna and his pets (cow, horse, peacock, monkey) playing and dancing throughout the island.
Prince of Vrindavan – (Like the rhyme Twinkle twinkle little star) For this one we could show the island floating in the sky and Krishna playing on the island, swinging on a swing. (Swing not already available) or paddling a boat on the lake.
After completion of the project I would like to receive all working Maya files and final videos for all the work done.
