I have written a short poem and gathered a set of raw reference images. I now need a polished 3-D animated cartoon, geared specifically toward children, that brings the poem to life.

Scope
• Turn each stanza into engaging 3-D scenes, weaving in the supplied images as textures, props, backgrounds, or character inspirations.
• Keep the full runtime under ten minutes; ideal pacing feels like a bedtime-story video rather than a rapid-fire montage.
• Animation style is clearly 3-D—think bright, rounded characters, simple environments, and playful motion that will hold a child’s attention.
• Layer the poem’s narration or on-screen text so every line is easy for kids to follow. Light music and gentle sound effects are welcome if they help the story flow.

Deliverables
1. Final video in 1080p (MP4 or MOV) ready to publish.
2. Separate audio stems (voice, SFX, music) for any future tweaks.
3. Source project files (Blender, Maya, or your preferred 3-D suite plus any After Effects/Premiere edits) so I can archive the project.

Acceptance Criteria
• Poem fully covered, no missing lines.
• Runtime ≤ 10:00.
• Child-friendly color palette and pacing.
• Smooth scene transitions; no abrupt cuts or unfinished elements.
• My raw images are recognisably integrated.

I’m happy to share the poem, images, and a rough storyboard sketch as soon as we start. Let me know which 3-D tools you prefer and any asset specs you need, and we can lock in milestones for animatic, first render, and final polish.

Skills: Video Services, 3D Rendering, Animation, After Effects, 3D Modelling, 3D Animation, Video Editing, Blender

We’re looking for a storyboard artist to create colored, production-ready storyboards for our 3D animated cartoon series.

Episode Length: 6–7 minutes

Requirements:

* Convert scripts into clear visual storyboards
* Panel-by-panel and scene-by-scene coverage
* Character acting, expressions, and poses
* Camera angles, composition, and scene staging
* Strong visual storytelling and continuity
* Storyboards should be suitable for a 3D animation production pipeline

Scripts, character designs, and references will be provided.

Budget: $15 per episode

This is a long-term project. We need storyboards for the current season, the next season, and potentially several other animation projects.

If your work is exceptional, there will be opportunities for ongoing collaboration on future projects.

To Apply:

* Share relevant storyboard samples
* Mention your turnaround time

We’re looking for someone who can consistently deliver high-quality storyboard work and bring our stories to life visually.

• Can you work within our mentioned budget? If no, please do not apply.

Job Description:
We are a comics and illustration studio testing a lean workflow for turning existing illustrated/comic panels into short animated storybook-style videos.
This is not full character animation.
We will provide finished illustrated panels or comic pages. The goal is to create a simple, polished, watchable video using the existing artwork.
The style we are looking for is similar to an animated storybook / lean motion comic: still illustrated panels brought to life through camera movement, zooms, pans, timing, transitions, narration, music, sound effects, and light parallax where possible.
The final result should feel pleasant and engaging for a children/family audience. It should not feel like a cheap slideshow, but it also does not need to be full cinematic animation.
First test project:
A short sample of around 1–2 minutes.
What we will provide:
Finished comic panels or illustrated pages
Basic story/script direction
Notes about pacing and mood
Possibly layered PSD files, if available
What you need to provide:
Video editing and pacing
Camera moves, zooms, pans, and transitions
Light parallax/depth when possible
AI voice or narration
Music
Basic sound effects
Final edit
1080p export
1 revision round
Important requirements:
Experience with motion comics, animated storybooks, illustrated videos, or AI-assisted video production
Strong sense of storytelling and pacing
Ability to make still illustrations feel alive without overusing effects
Ability to preserve the original artwork without distortion
Good taste in music, narration, and sound effects
Clean, child-friendly, family-friendly presentation
Reliable communication and ability to meet deadlines
Experience with tools such as After Effects, Premiere, CapCut, Runway, Kling, Pika, ElevenLabs, PlayHT, Suno, Udio, or similar tools is helpful.
Please include in your application:
Samples of similar work — especially motion comics, animated storybooks, illustrated videos, or AI-assisted videos
Which tools you use
Your fixed price for a 1–2 minute test
Your estimated turnaround time
Whether you can handle narration/voice, music, sound effects, and final editing
Whether you can work with layered PSD files
How you would make this feel more engaging than a basic slideshow
We are looking for someone reliable for a first test, with the possibility of ongoing work if the workflow is successful.
Budget
Fixed Price: $300–$500 for the first 1–2 minute test
Please quote your price.
Screening Questions
Please send 2–3 samples closest to this kind of animated storybook / motion comic work.
Have you worked with existing comic panels or illustrated pages before?
What tools do you use for video editing, AI video, voice, music, and sound design?
Can you create a 1–2 minute sample using provided illustrated panels?
What would be your fixed price for the first test?
How long would you need to complete it?
Can you work with layered PSD files if provided?
How do you avoid making the video feel like a simple slideshow?
Are you comfortable creating content for a children/family audience?

This is a very high quality indie comic book made by passionate professionals, and we need someone who can get us solid visibility that leads to sales. Ideal candidates will have experience in digital marketing and a passion for comics. I've been advertising on social media with animated reels from our cartoon and have had great success in driving people to our landing page- over 10K in just a few weeks, but no subscribers. Looking for someone who can look at our process and help us get to the next level
