Calling out animators!
Rates are 30 USD the animated second of 3D animation with one character, for example 5 seconds of animation is 150 USD, more characters more per second.
I want to see some sort of portfolio, if you have scenes from a show, or run cycles for a game please show me. I don’t care if you’re a generalist but I need good animation.
The animation process is similar to how Disney animates, we work on keys, do breakdowns and then we clean the splines, (eg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM8fXYZ-6u0) you must be comfortable with using live action reference and working with a focus on silhouette and characterization. quality wise I’m not asking for Disney quality here but you need to at-least match current indie horror darlings, games like ( https://youtu.be/_JkdZOQomZc?t=23 or https://youtu.be/NP4AuKdb_dA?t=2159 ) you know… my competition. You don’t need to know how to draw.
This means no snapping and and a sense of dread on every step.
The game is being pitched to investors you will work with me to define the feel of the game, the process and technology that the game uses is very new and most of it is created by yours truly, it looks like a ghibli movie brought to life.
The game’s blog for a better idea. http://blog.amysescape.com/ of the project you’ll have to sign an NDA to see the more private stuff.

Send your portfolio to [email protected] with the title “I want to animate on Amy’s Escape: [Name]” with your name. (example: I want to animate on Amy’s Escape: Fernando Holguín), This pitch prototype is operating on a limited budget so please understand I don’t have much to go around.
You might be sent a test if I don’t see what I’m looking for in the portfolio but see skill.
If you don’t write the subject I ask for in the mail your portfolio will not get a reply no matter how good you are. If you can’t follow a simple instruction how can I ask you to work for me.
It’s a 2 stage prototype, with 3-5 characters and about 1 minute of animation, in game development that’s like a very short demo it’s to show we can make the game. The full game if I get funds has 118 stages, 20ish minutes of animation and 50+ characters,
