Description:

We are seeking a talented 3D animator to assist with a simple spinning book animation. While a version of the animation already exists, we need to make modifications based on an old design and enhance elements such as lighting. Unfortunately, we do not have the source files for the existing animation, but we can provide a reference for the required tempo and style.

This is a smaller project, but if the results are satisfactory, we have a longer 1-minute video project that we would like the same animator to work on.
Responsibilities:

    Animation Enhancement:
        Review the existing spinning book animation and make necessary improvements based on the provided reference.
        Adjust the animation to match the specified tempo and style.

    Lighting and Effects:
        Improve the lighting and other visual elements to enhance the overall look of the animation.

    Reference Application:
        Use the provided reference to ensure the animation aligns with the desired style and tempo.

Skills Required:

    Proficiency in 3D Animation Software: Experience with software such as Blender, Maya, or Cinema 4D.
    Animation and Lighting: Ability to create smooth, engaging animations and enhance visual elements.
    Creativity: Strong creative skills to improve the existing animation based on the provided references.

Preferred Qualifications:

    Experience with spinning book animations or similar projects is a plus.
    A portfolio showcasing previous animation work is desirable.

How to Apply:

Please include the following in your application:

    Portfolio: Provide examples of your previous animation work, particularly any relevant to book animations or similar projects.
    Experience: Briefly describe your experience with 3D animation and any relevant skills.
    Availability: Indicate your availability to start the project and estimated completion time.
    Pricing: Provide your rate for this smaller project and mention if you would be interested in working on the longer video project.

Example of Application:

Portfolio: [Attach Portfolio with relevant examples]

Experience:
"I have experience in 3D animation with a focus on creating engaging and visually appealing animations. I am familiar with improving existing animations and enhancing visual elements such as lighting."

Availability:
"I am available to start immediately and can complete the spinning book animation within X days."

Pricing:
"My rate for this smaller project is $XXX. I would be interested in discussing the longer video project as well."

This posting aims to attract a 3D animator who can enhance an existing spinning book animation and is open to additional projects.
