ABOUT US

We make 3D animated Shorts that explore "what if" scenarios and scientific breakdowns, centered on superpowers, pop-culture abilities, weapons, history oddities and sci-fi lore. Each video answers one curiosity-driven question in under 60 seconds, using fast-paced storytelling, dynamic 3D visuals and stylized breakdowns. We work in Blender.

TYPES OF VIDEOS YOU WILL WORK ON

- Hypothetical abilities and power breakdowns ("what if you had...")

- Sci-fi and pop-culture logic: fictional weapons, body modifications and character powers, explained mechanically

- Curiosity-driven science and history: unusual biology, prosthetics, physical phenomena and strange real-world facts, shown in stylized 3D

ROLE AND PAY

- Role: Remote, freelance

- Pay: INR 4,000 per approved video (30-50s)

- Volume: 8-12 videos per month (INR 32,000 - INR 48,000), depending on your speed and quality

WHAT YOU WILL DO

- Build cinematic scenes from a script and scene-by-scene storyboard (30-50s)

- Fast-paced camera work: whip pans, rapid zooms, push-ins, dramatic reveals

- Keep character animation and props simple (clean poses, readable timing)

- Add 3D callout FX (floating text, counters, glow effects, simple Geometry Nodes effects)

- Set up lighting, materials and environments for each scene

- Use the model links given in the script, and ask the coordinator before using paid assets





- Send a quick Eevee preview for feedback before the final Cycles render

REQUIREMENTS

- Strong Blender skills (Eevee and Cycles)
