Low-Budget Cartoon 3D Story

I’ve written a playful, teen-focused story and I’d like to turn it into a short 3D cartoon. The mood is light, colourful and a little exaggerated—think stylised characters, expressive faces and dynamic camera moves rather than anything photo-real.

Because funds are tight, efficiency matters. If you already have a streamlined workflow in Blender, Maya or Cinema 4D and know how to reuse rigs, libraries and lighting setups, that’s a big plus. I’ll supply the script, reference sketches and any voice tracks; you handle modelling, rigging, animation, simple effects and final rendering.

Deliverables
• Storyboard or animatic for approval before full production
• Final 1080p (or higher) video in MP4 format
• All project files so I can make future tweaks

The piece should resonate with teenagers—punchy timing, clear emotions, no childish gimmicks. Once the storyboard is signed off, smooth hand-offs and quick turnarounds will keep us on schedule and on budget. Let me know what asset libraries you can leverage, how you’ll manage render times, and how many review rounds you include in your quote.

If you have links to similar cartoonish projects you’ve completed, I’d love to see them. Looking forward to collaborating and making this story jump off the screen!
