3D Travel Journey Animation

# Stylized 3D Animated Intro — Fixed Budget ₹12,500 I am looking for a **3D animator / 3D generalist** to create a short, polished personal animated intro. ### Budget: ₹12,500 TOTAL — FIXED BUDGET Please note: **₹12,500 is my complete budget for this project. I am not looking to commission a larger or ongoing animation project after this.** I am specifically looking for someone who can achieve a lot through an **efficient 3D workflow**, rather than a large traditional animation production. ## The Style I am looking for a **stylized 3D animated-film / cartoon aesthetic**. Think: * Appealing stylized 3D characters * Cinematic environments * Expressive and lively animation * Beautiful lighting and atmosphere * Strong camera work * Slightly exaggerated/cartoon-like proportions **Not:** * 2D animation * Anime * Photorealistic 3D * Generic AI-generated video * Slideshow-style animation AI-assisted tools, existing asset libraries, mocap, Mixamo, Blender, Unreal Engine, Character Creator, etc. are completely acceptable **if the final result is visually consistent and polished**. ## The Animation I want to create approximately **60–75 seconds of animation**, made up of several short sequences representing things I enjoy in life: * Ladakh / motorcycle adventures * Bhutan * Andaman * Goa * Reading / books * LEGO building * A final peaceful night scene in Hanle However, because my total budget is ₹12,500, **I am not expecting a large traditional animation production.** I am looking for someone who can use smart asset reuse, existing rigs/assets, efficient animation techniques and/or AI-assisted workflows to create the strongest possible result within the budget. ### Important: Characters The two main characters should represent **me and my wife** and remain visually consistent throughout the animation. I am looking for stylized 3D versions of us rather than generic characters. ## Final Scene — Hanle The ending is particularly important. A stylized 3D version of my wife and me are sitting together on the rooftop of a Himalayan homestay at night. There is: * A Himalayan/Ladakh environment * Mountains in the background * Our motorcycle parked nearby * A small table between us * Two drinks on the table * A beautiful night sky * Stars / Milky Way * Subtle wind and environmental movement We sit quietly together looking at the stars. After a moment, we look at each other and smile. The camera then **slowly pulls away**, revealing the enormous night sky and landscape. The final shot should feel peaceful, cinematic and emotional without being overly sentimental. I do **not** want a cheesy "Welcome to my channel" type ending. The idea is simply: **Life is about experiencing these things together.** ## What I Need From You Please tell me: 1. Your experience with **stylized 3D animation** 2. Examples of your **3D character animation** 3. What software/workflow you use 4. Whether you use AI, mocap or existing assets to speed up production 5. How you would maintain consistency between the two characters 6. What you can realistically deliver within **₹12,500** 7. Your estimated completion time Please include relevant portfolio examples. I am particularly interested in **character animation, cinematic camera work, environments and lighting**, rather than just modelling. ### Budget **₹12,500 total. Fixed.** Please do not bid significantly above this amount. I understand that this is a limited budget for 3D animation, so I am specifically looking for an animator who can achieve a good result through an efficient workflow rather than a large production process. **This is a one-time personal project and there is no expectation or commitment of future paid work.** If you can create something genuinely beautiful within this budget, please show me what you can do.
