Yeah it seems that you've got a few options. 1) do it yourself - but how much are you going to get paid to make it? And how quickly can you make it? If you're getting paid only a few hundred for a project that could potentially take half a day because you have to learn the software you're probably best off seeking the following options:
2) go to the nearest art college and pay some kid studying animation a fair share of the money you're getting paid to produce it and call it a "joint effort" Probably around $50 USD - and they'll work quickly!
3) hire a professional to make it, though he's going to want a much higher fee to make it - possibly more than you'd be getting to make it.
4) get someone on JW to make it for you - but not me because I don't know how to do 3D
