Create a short two-character clay-style animated explainer video

### Description

**Experience Level:** Intermediate

I'm looking for an animator to create a short conversational film for a new software product.

The film is built around two recurring characters having a conversation. I already have the complete script and visual references for both characters.

**The visual style is important.**

The characters have a simple, sculpted clay appearance. They are slightly abstract human figures with a tactile, moulded quality. Think simple clay character animation or stop-motion-inspired 3D rather than conventional flat cartoon characters.

They do not need to match my reference images exactly, but I do want the finished characters to feel dimensional, tactile and recognisably part of the same visual world as the references.

**I am not looking for a standard 2D explainer-video style, flat vector characters, paper/cut-out animation, whiteboard animation or stock/template cartoon characters.**

The animation itself can be relatively simple. Most of the film is a conversation between the same two characters, so I am looking for someone who can make that interaction feel natural and engaging through:

* consistent character design throughout
* posture, gesture and simple facial or body expression
* good dialogue timing so it is always clear who is speaking
* natural reactions between the two characters
* a small amount of supporting visual movement or scene changes where useful
* a clean, polished overall finish

The finished film will be approximately 2-3 minutes long.

I am open to different production methods, including AI-assisted workflows, 3D, 2.5D or other efficient approaches. **What matters to me is the finished visual result rather than the technology used to create it.** If you use AI, the two characters still need to remain visually consistent throughout the film.

I can provide:

* the complete script
* visual references for both characters
* product visuals
* voice tracks if useful for production

**Before applying, please look carefully at the character reference images.**

Please send me one or two examples of work you have personally created that is genuinely relevant to this style, ideally involving dimensional or clay-like characters and character dialogue.

Please do not send a general animation showreel if it is mainly flat 2D explainer animation. I would rather see one relevant example.

I am working within a modest budget, so please also explain briefly how you would approach producing this efficiently.

### Deliverable

Finished 1080p video suitable for use on a website and social media, including one reasonable round of revisions.
