About

I am looking to hire a skilled 3D animator who can replicate the visual style, pacing, and storytelling flow of the YouTube channel LowPolyShorts. Please see the channel for reference. The ideal candidate should understand how to create short, punchy, story-driven animations that feel clean, simple, stylised, and efficient—while still delivering strong visual clarity and comedic timing. This role focuses on producing 20–40 second animated stories, each based on real events, with a consistent low-poly aesthetic, smooth camera motion, and expressive character acting. You will be responsible for creating complete animated Shorts from supplied scripts and audio narrations. This style uses simple environments and low-detail character models. The emphasis is less on visual complexity and more on readability, timing and staging. The animation style will be similar to the one seen on the LowPolyShorts channel but with our own unique twist, similar to the look and feel of GTA San Andreas, maintaining a similar low-poly style. Add your favourite animal in your application, so I know you're actually reading this. We are looking for someone who works efficiently without sacrificing quality. The workflow should be optimised for speed, using streamlined modelling, rigging, and rendering techniques. You should be comfortable working with assets that are intentionally minimalistic, capable of generating or reusing basic low-poly backgrounds, and able to deliver polished final animations that match the tone and flow of reference videos. Consistency is crucial—each Short should feel like it comes from the same “universe” visually. The ideal animator is someone who understands comedic timing, knows how to stage a punchline visually, and can translate short scripts into engaging sequences without unnecessary detail. You should be able to take direction, accept feedback, and maintain a reliable turnaround time. If you already have experience creating stylised 3D animations for TikTok or YouTube Shorts, that’s a major plus. Ownership of your own tools, software, and workflow is expected. If you’re confident you can emulate the LowPolyShorts animation style and would like a long-term working relationship creating ongoing content, we’d love to hear from you. Please provide examples of previous 3D animation work—especially stylised, low-poly, or short-form storytelling. At the end of your application, please answer the following: Which software and workflow do you use for modelling, rigging, animating, and rendering? How many hours do you estimate it would take you to produce one 30 second animation in the LowPolyShorts style? What would you charge per animation of that length? How many animations per week or per month are you capable of producing consistently?
