Realistic Human 3D Storytelling Animation

I’m producing a short entertainment piece and need a skilled 3D animator to bring a cast of human characters to life in a realistic style. The narrative and initial storyboard are ready; what’s missing is the cinematic polish that only detailed modeling, lifelike texturing, fluid body mechanics, and nuanced facial animation can provide.

You are free to work in your preferred pipeline—Blender, Maya, Houdini, Unreal Engine, or a mix—as long as the final look stays grounded in realism and emotion. I’ll supply reference footage, character bios, and dialogue tracks. You’ll handle modeling tweaks (if needed), rigging, animation, lighting, rendering, and basic compositing. Sound design and editing are covered on my side, so feel free to focus entirely on the visuals.

Deliverables:
• Final rendered video (1080p or higher) suitable for streaming platforms
• Source project files with organized assets and rigs
• One revision pass after first cut so we can fine-tune timing and expressions

If you have recent examples of realistic human animation—especially pieces that tell a story—please share them with your bid. Let’s create something viewers can connect with on the first watch.
