My business' name is Tortoise. We are trying to get funding for our new product called "Tortoise". We want a 2D or 3D animated video produced for our Kick Starter page. Job Description: We are looking for a animator to create a video for our Kick Starter Project. It should go over the problem (headphones getting tangled) and our solution (Tortoise, a small device that coils and stores your headphones). The video should also cover the following (text taken from product description): #What is Tortoise?# Like many other people, every time I shove my headphones in my pocket they seem to get tangled in a different way. Tortoise poses an alternative to this. Tortoise is a small device that attaches to the back of your device (iPhone, iPod, Android Phones, practically anything) with a suction cup. When you want to use your headphones you just pull on them and they extend; when you're done just push the button and they will retract.
