Looking for people to animate a 5-episode neo-noir crime series (based on viral meme lore)

Hey everyone,

I’m creating a Five-Episode Series based on the John Pork 2025 Tiktok lore.

I’m still pretty new to Blender. I’ve got some experience, but nothing crazy.

What I do have is a complete script, all five episodes, that I’ve been working on for a long time and I’m genuinely proud of.

It’s a neo-noir crime drama built on top of some of the viral “brainrot” meme lore that’s been popular like a year ago (the John Pork / Tim Cheese universe, if that means anything to you, a lot of people know these characters as jokes). The idea was to take that and play it completely straight, as an actual tragedy, not a meme.

Logline: When a devoted single father is shot by his oldest friend and is secretly kept alive by a rogue federal agent, he has five blood-soaked episodes of his friends bring justice, reclaim his life, his city, and avenge his ten-year-old son.

Six episodes, around 80 minutes total. It’s got betrayal, a found family, a kid who has to live with picking up a gun, and an ending that isn’t a clean, easy one.

Visual style I’m going for: not photorealism — leaning into a stylized NPR/toon-shaded look, closer to Spider-Verse or The Bad Guys, just pushed darker and more desaturated for the noir tone. I think this is actually a style a small team can pull off well without needing a huge studio behind it, which is a big part of why I’m posting here instead of just giving up on the idea.

Who do I think I need :

  • 3D character modeler - turning already existing characters into 3D models
  • Character riggers
  • Animators
  • Someone who knows their way around Blender’s NPR side (Shader to RGB, Freestyle/Grease Pencil line art, that kind of thing) — this would honestly help me a ton since I’m still learning it myself
  • Lighting artist
  • Environment/prop artist

If any of this sounds interesting, even just to talk about it, drop a reply or DM me. I’m happy to share the script (or at least some of it) with anyone who wants to actually see what they’d be working on before committing to anything.

Thanks for reading this whole thing either way.
