4-Minute Realistic Santa Animation

I’m producing a four-minute film where Santa Claus teams up with the Tooth Fairy to deliver personalised wishes to children. I’ll hand you a complete scenario; your task is to bring it to life in highly realistic 3D animation.

Visual direction
• Characters: lifelike facial expressions, skin, cloth and hair simulations that feel true to a live-action look.
• Settings: the action moves from a sparkling Winter Wonderland to a dreamy Fantasy Forest, then into a cosy window-lit home, a modern city street, a quiet library and finally Santa’s North-Pole office. Each location needs detailed textures, atmospheric lighting and soft depth-of-field to sell the realism.

Story requirements
The script contains name-specific wishes for several children. I’ll supply the names, voice-over lines and timing cues; you sync them believably to the characters’ lip movements and reactions.

Deliverables
• 3D animation (≈ 4:00) mastered in 4K and 1080p H.264
• Editable project files (Blender, Maya or equivalent) with organised assets
• One round of revisions for polish on facial acting, lighting and sound sync

Acceptance criteria
1. Characters’ movements and lip sync match provided audio within ±2 frames.
2. All listed environments appear exactly as scripted, with seamless transitions.
3. Final render shows no visible noise or artefacts at full resolution.

If you have a proven reel in photoreal 3D character work and can hit the emotional warmth this piece needs, let’s get started.
