Premium 3D Kids Animation Series

I’m producing “Curly & Panda Tales,” a family-friendly YouTube series that follows four-year-old Curly and her gentle, talented panda friend through colourful adventures. I need a 3D animation partner who can deliver premium, cinematic visuals that feel on par with today’s top children’s shows. And the important thing is, the budget is 4000 per episode of the duration length is 3 to 4 minutes

The overall tone should stay adventurous and exciting while remaining suitable for young viewers. Characters must lean toward a cartoony style—big expressions, clear silhouettes, and consistent design from shot to shot—yet rendered with polished lighting, believable physics, and beautiful, story-driven environments.

Scope of work
• Model, rig, and texture Curly, Panda, and recurring side characters to production-ready quality
• Build modular environments that support exploration—lush forests, cosy bedrooms, whimsical towns, and more
• Animate performances that balance comedy, warmth, and clear storytelling beats
• Handle lighting, rendering, and compositing for a cinematic finish (4K delivery preferred)
• Integrate sound effects and a fitting score; I’ll supply voice tracks once the animatics lock

Deliverables per episode
1. Approved storyboards/animatic
2. Final rendered episode (standard kids-episode runtime) in MP4 and ProRes
3. Separate audio stems (dialogue, music, effects)
4. All project files (Maya/Blender scene, textures, rigs) neatly organized

Acceptance criteria
• Consistent character proportions and shaders across episodes
• Smooth, expressive lip-sync and body mechanics appropriate to a preschool audience
• No unfinished assets: every scene must include final textures, lighting, and effects
• Final video passes YouTube Kids content guidelines

Ideal tools include Maya or Blender for animation, Substance or Photoshop for texturing, and Arnold, Redshift, or Unreal for rendering—though I’m open to your pipeline if it achieves the same high bar.

Please share a reel or links that showcase comparable adventure-themed, cartoony work. I’m ready to green-light the pilot immediately and hope to build a long-term relationship as the channel grows.
