I'm looking for an experienced animator to create a high-quality, 3-5 minute animated video series using puppet-like characters. Think Sesame Street quality, but with a fresh twist. Requirements: - 3D animation expertise - Ability to create AI-generated characters that resemble actual puppets - Experience in developing engaging, child-friendly content - Familiarity with existing character designs Ideal Skills: - Proficient in 3D animation software - Strong storytelling and animation skills - Previous work on children’s animation series - Attention to detail and creativity ** I’ve added a couple videos that I invite you to take a quick look at….one of them is a clip of a couple of my characters that I’ve been working on myself up to this point until I found working with AI and it constantly changing things every other 2-3 second clip got way too frustrating and decided to hire someone from here for help lol The other is another of the AI issues that I was constantly seeming to have happen to me while I was attempting to animate my scenes myself and again why I’m seeking your help. No matter what program I bought and ran I seemed to run into a hundred issues to problem solve my way through and this just was never gonna get finished at the rate I was going lol Lastly I also included a picture of the progression for a couple of my characters from the original pic I made of them and through the animation process. Changing multiple times until I finally landed on the exact one I’m intending on keeping. I do hve a couple others already animated and ready to go as well but also many others that are only on paper still and awaiting someone’s animation talents :) Although I do have a good vision and many things that I’m wanting to be as close to exact as you can possibly offer me….there are many other details that I’m quite flexible and open to your creative abilities as well and also any ideas you think might help this become the best it can possible be. I am hoping to possibly need 1-2 videos made per month indefinitely or until I run outta of money at least lol Which would be more of a commitment then this might hve originally sounded. Just wanted to give a heads up on that as being able to keep everything the same video to video is extremely important to me for why I’m planning on my end. Please share a portfolio showcasing similar work. Let's create something amazing together!

Hi, I understand the main challenge here is not just making 3D puppet animation, but keeping the characters consistent from video to video without the AI drift and random changes you’ve been fighting with. I have experience with 3D character animation, child friendly storytelling, puppet style characters, scene continuity and producing polished animated content with stable designs. I can work from your existing references, lock the character look, build a repeatable animation workflow, and help create 3 to 5 minute videos that feel fun, expressive and consistent for an ongoing series. For one episode, a realistic timeline would be around 3 to 4 weeks depending on scenes, characters and revisions.
