Hi, my name is Joshy Eton. For 2025, I am in need of a skilled character designer for the meta comedy short film entitled:

Weapon of Security Movie

Genre: Meta - comedy and Sci - fi fantasy

Film type: A Live action/ VFX hybrid short film

Max duration: 5 minutes

I’m open to any character designers even ones for cheaper animation quality. I’d like a designer that specializes in blending cartoon and realistic designs similar to Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Requirements: Able to send a detailed, unique, simple and professional character design that matches my vision for the films CGI effects.

I encourage any character designer to audition BEFORE 2025.

Together we might be putting blood, sweat and tears into the making of this 5 minute short film.

Note: I’m EXTDENDING THE FILMS RUNTIME TO 1 HOUR WORTH OF FILM AND VFX ANIMATIONS BUT THE JOB OFFER IS STILL AVAILABLE.

I WON’T BE NEEDING A CHARACTER DESIGN FOR THE GENIE ANYMORE BUT I DO NEED ADDITIONAL CHARACTER DESIGNS FOR CGI OBJECTS LIKE WEAPONS AND TOOLS AND VARIOUS EFFECTS. AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL CG CHARACTER CAMEOS.
