We have developed lyrics for a song we'll be creating and we want a video to go with it.
To prepare for the video, we want to have someone develop a storyboard that will illustrate the scenes in the video.
This video will be animated and should use cartoon characters that are funny and gentle even though the subject matter is very serious. We were inspired by the "dumb ways to die" video put out by the London metro and you should watch that video before you bid on this project.
The purpose of the video is to show how getting an emergency alert (a message on your phone) can save a person from disaster.
There will be 4-8 scenes in this video. In each scene, the characters are illustrating the idea of the disaster or danger, followed by a quick illustration of the same or similar characters avoiding the danger because they got the alert.
The eight possible scenes are:
1) A tornado (character or characters caught up in a storm)
2) Getting sick from bad water
3) Traffic accident caused by over-turned truck
4) Earthquake (character or characters with roof coming down on their heads)
5) Bear on the loose (dangerous animal)
6) Missing person
7) Flood
8) collection of other disasters (tsumani, hurricane, vandalism)
As challenging as this seems, this project requires making these subjects somewhat funny and light-hearted. We are not looking for edgy. Watch the "dumb ways to die" video to get an understanding of this concept.
Once you are selected, we will supply the lyrics.
Do not ask for more than 1/3rd of your project fee as a milestone.
Because this project is so subjective, you should be prepared to do as many revisions as needed. We are the final deciders on what will work. By accepting this project, you must agree to accept our judgement, including the possibility that you're not suited for the work, in which case, we'll pay you the 1/3rd as your total payment and find someone else.

We have experience in providing a storyboard, but more important we love the style You would like to have. We are going to bring to life for You a fantastic characters and put them in extreme situations and then, if You like we can also animate them. Please ask us for our portfolio.
I am an animation professional with 5 years experience, including storyboarding for children's TV for broadcast in the UK. My clear, friendly and quick style would suit this project completely. My technique involves drawing in flash so that all amendments are quick and painless to make, and the drawing comes out looking clear and easy to annotate or re-order.
Whilst my bid is on the higher end, you will be getting supremely high quality and years of experience to make the process as successful and simple as possible. Thank you for your time, if you need to know any other details please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Good afternoon Ron
This looks like a really great project to work on, I have been a fan of the 'Dumb Ways to Die' video for a while. I am currently storyboarding small corporate info-graphic/vector videos(1 to 2 minutes) and for larger more traditional feeling animations. I'm also working on a personal project relating to the death of a pet.
What I like about the concept you are requiring is the lighter feel to a serious subject matter and your example video is certainly one which has made a mark, just over 77million views is proof of impact.
I work well to deadline and always bring a project in on time, I communicate well and English is my first language.
I look forward to working with you.
Warm regards
Ann Kiernan
Dear rocavirgen
It would be a pleasure to create the story board for your music video. I am a huge fan of such videos, that take serious matter and communicate it in a humorous tone.
The video "dumb ways to die" is very inspiring, but I would of course try to create unique characters so that your video itself will be unique.
It is clear to me that you have the final say in the drawings, but I am flexible and I take criticism objective and rational and use it to better my work.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully
ConnorWolk
