About the project

3D Animator Needed for Children’s YouTube Series (Long-Term Project) Project Overview I’m looking for a talented 3D animator to join me on a long-term children’s YouTube project. This is an original educational series for children ages 3–8, combining fun storytelling, colorful animation, lovable characters, and simple health education. Each episode follows two children and their mentor, as they go on exciting adventures that teach healthy habits in an entertaining way. The animation style should be bright, colorful, expressive, and engaging, with the high production quality expected from modern children’s YouTube content.

My goal is to produce ongoing episodes and YouTube Shorts over the coming years, so I’m looking for someone who wants to grow with the brand.
