Overview: I’m looking for a creative designer/animator to add illustrative animation to a short live-action video. The film features a simple setup — a girl reading a book in an empty room. As she opens the book and turns the pages, animation begins to appear around her, bringing her imagination to life. The concept is that a book can open up a magical world in a child’s mind.
Background: A volunteer previously began work on this project but only completed it halfway. I’d like to restart the process, either continuing in a similar style (see reference: previous version https://youtu.be/-rlHdyyvtoo) or exploring a new creative direction.
Creative Direction:
The animation should begin gradually — starting subtly when the girl opens the book and building as the story unfolds.
The tone should feel magical and imaginative, featuring nature elements, characters, and whimsical touches (e.g., a fairy).
The animation should enhance, not overwhelm, the live footage — keeping the girl and the physical space visible and central.
The overall mood should evoke wonder, creativity, and childlike discovery.
Technical Details:
Final video length: 2 minutes 21 seconds. https://youtu.be/wcJ8eGCDJX4
Animation starts at 00:39 (when she opens the book) and ends at 2:10 (when she closes it).
Here’s the base footage: The Book
I will provide the full-resolution file to the selected animator.
Creative Freedom: I’m open to ideas and collaboration — the final animation can come from your own imagination. The brief is meant as a guide, not a restriction.
I would like to enter the final film into film festivals with credit to the animator.
