3D Animated History YouTube Video Editor Needed — Ongoing Work, Fast Turnaround

Posted 4 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

I run a YouTube channel producing narrated 3D-animated history/mythology videos in the style of channels like “Historically” (chibi-style characters, dynamic backgrounds, comedic narration paired with dramatic historical storytelling). I have a script ready to go and need an editor who can turn it into a fully animated video this week. What you’ll be doing: • Take a finished script (already written) and turn it into a 10-15 minute animated video • Use simple rigged 3D/chibi-style characters (base character + swappable hair/props/armor per historical figure — I can provide reference style) • Source or generate detailed backgrounds matching the historical setting • Sync narration (I will provide voiceover, or you can suggest AI voice tools if needed) • Add captions, sound effects, music, and basic comedic timing/animation beats • Deliver in a format ready for direct YouTube upload Tools you should be comfortable with (any of these, not all required): • Blender, Renderforest, Vyond, Higgsfield AI, Seedance, or similar 3D/animation-template tools • CapCut, Premiere, or DaVinci Resolve for editing/sound/captions • Experience with AI image/video generation tools is a big plus (Grok Imagine, Midjourney, etc.) Requirements: • Must have a portfolio or past work sample of animated/character-based video content (send links, not just a resume) • Able to start immediately and turn around first video within this week • Strong sense of comedic timing and pacing — this style relies on jokes landing at the right beat, not just scene transitions • Good communication, responsive during the workweek Nice to have: • Experience with faceless/narration-style YouTube content • Familiarity with the “chibi round-head character, simple face, detailed background” visual style Budget: [set per-video flat rate or hourly — happy to discuss based on your experience] Timeline: First video needed this week, ongoing weekly/biweekly work if it’s a good fit To apply, please include: 1. A link to any animated/3D video work you’ve done (even non-history content is fine, I just need to see character animation and pacing) 2. Your estimated turnaround time for a 10-15 min video 3. Which tools you’d use for this specific style
