We have developed lyrics for a song we'll be creating and we want a video to go with it.
To prepare for the video, we want to have someone develop a storyboard that will illustrate the scenes in the video.
This video will be animated and should use cartoon characters that are funny and gentle even though the subject matter is very serious. We were inspired by the "dumb ways to die" video put out by the London metro and you should watch that video before you bid on this project.
The purpose of the video is to show how getting an emergency alert (a message on your phone) can save a person from disaster.
There will be 4-8 scenes in this video. In each scene, the characters are illustrating the idea of the disaster or danger, followed by a quick illustration of the same or similar characters avoiding the danger because they got the alert.
The eight possible scenes are:
1) A tornado (character or characters caught up in a storm)
2) Getting sick from bad water
3) Traffic accident caused by over-turned truck
4) Earthquake (character or characters with roof coming down on their heads)
5) Bear on the loose (dangerous animal)
6) Missing person
7) Flood
8) collection of other disasters (tsumani, hurricane, vandalism)
As challenging as this seems, this project requires making these subjects somewhat funny and light-hearted. We are not looking for edgy. Watch the "dumb ways to die" video to get an understanding of this concept.
Once you are selected, we will supply the lyrics.
Do not ask for more than 1/3rd of your project fee as a milestone.
Because this project is so subjective, you should be prepared to do as many revisions as needed. We are the final deciders on what will work. By accepting this project, you must agree to accept our judgement, including the possibility that you're not suited for the work, in which case, we'll pay you the 1/3rd as your total payment and find someone else.
Freelance illustrator. You will be updated regularly on the storyboard progression in the form of screenshots before the final files are delivered. Multiple revisions included at no extra cost. Guaranteed. I had a look at the "dumb ways to die" video. About the milestones, fully agreed. Not a problem on that. Would love to work with you on this project! :)
