I'd be willing to help too but you'll have to be a bit more specific in your needs. I do animation for the part. But I would need an idea or two from you for a concept.

And no, it doesn't take months to produce, I can can have it done in under a week, depending on what you have in mind.

A 3 minute animation should only take 5 hours or so to render out. I've done longer than that in less than a few days but then thats all I do, animation.
