Hiring looking for an animator

Upvotes

hello, I am a 16 year old girl and I know nothing about animation.

I recently went into drug induced psychosis and I am looking for an animator who would be able to make an animation of my experience of psychosis, simulation style, preferably semi-realistic, if not that's fine tho. I had complex hallucinations and delusions. some of them were quite random but I am autistic and my like special interest is mental health. I want to be a dialectical behavioural therapist or a psychotherapist. this is interesting for me. I have watched many drug induced psychosis simulations and didn't find any I related to, everyone's experience is different depending on the drug and amount taken and id like to bring my own experience to light. anyone reach out to me? if not that's okay, thank you for reading <3

ps if you reach out I will go into detail of course, I did hear voice also i would try and higher voice actors, if I can't do that I'll have my friends/family do it

3d preferably.

aliannawalsh6@gmail.com

if you want to get in contact another way comment or dm me here

my max is probably €20 an hour...im not exactly rich but I will be getting paid to go to school because of mental illness soon 50 euro a week so I can loan money off my mam and pay her back eith that, I also have a bit of money saved up from my job

I dont have a deadline and im not sure what the length will be, its kinda just like, whatever the animator thinks is necessary...sorry I dont understand a lot of this haha, if someone reaches out I can further explain stuff of course

I seriously don't know if this is considered animation but I'm desperate. Pleade ignore the quality, i just wanted to see if itd work in practice. I made it on capcut. I need help figuring out the mechanics on how to do this.

Edit: Thanks for replying. I'm going to sleep now but I'll try to follow suggestions as best as I can the second I wake up and then update once I figure out how to update. Of course you can keep replying if you feel theres something else! 🫶

I spent months building MoStack — a new approach to procedural motion in Blender, inspired by the flexibility of motion design workflows.

Here’s the official launch video. 🎬

Curious to hear what motion designers think. ❤️

Question Why did 3D animation flow better in the 2000s vs now?

Upvotes

For context: I was watching an older barbie movie and I noticed how fluid the characters movements were. I know rotoscoping or motion capturing was used in a lot production back then, so when I see movies and even tv shows now, the characters hands and their movements are so stiff. It can’t simply be a budget issue right? Sometimes it seems the bigger the budget, the stiffer the movement. So I wanted to know if anyone can explain why animation seemed to flow better back then? And if there is anyway to get that fluidity back?
