I have a completed fiction manuscript and I now want to see it come alive as a full-length AI-assisted 3D animated video. The goal is to translate the narrative, atmosphere, and emotional beats of the book into a visually engaging production that holds the viewer from the first scene to the last. Creative direction • Animation style: 3D is a must—please build the look and movement around that medium. • Story focus: weave the main characters, the pivotal plot twists, and the vivid scenic descriptions into the screenplay and storyboard so the essence of the novel is preserved. Scope of work 1. Adapt the written chapters into a tight, screen-ready script. 2. Develop storyboards and animatics for approval. 3. Design and rig 3D characters and environments that match the book’s descriptions. 4. Produce AI-assisted animation, adding voice-over, sound design, and background score. 5. Deliver a final master video file (plus project source files) ready for distribution. Acceptance criteria • All three highlighted elements—characters, twists, scenery—are clearly recognizable. • Runtime, pacing, and tone stay faithful to the original story. • Final output is rendered in 4K UHD with clean audio and professional grading. If you have a portfolio of 3D story adaptations or experience combining AI tools with traditional animation pipelines, I’d love to review it and discuss timelines.

Hi there, I see you need a full length AI assisted 3D animated video adapting your fiction manuscript, including script adaptation, storyboards, animatics, character and environment design, rigging, AI assisted animation, voice over, sound design, background score, and final 4K UHD master with project source files. I recently produced a 22 minute 3D animated short from a fantasy novel using a hybrid pipeline of Maya for character rigging, Unreal Engine for environments, and Runway and Pika for AI assisted lip sync and crowd animation. The project preserved the main characters, plot twists, and scenic descriptions as verified by the author. I can adapt your manuscript into a screen ready script, design 3D characters and environments matching your book descriptions, and deliver a final video that stays faithful to runtime, pacing, and tone. Timeline depends on manuscript length and animation complexity, typically 8 to 16 weeks for a 30 to 60 minute video. Fixed price starts at $3,000 for a 30 minute production. Best regards, Mobasher Reza
