I’m looking for a skilled 2D animator to bring a four-minute entertainment short to life. I already have the core concept, plot beats, and visual mood references ready; you’ll transform these assets into a polished piece that feels dynamic, engaging, and on-brand. Here’s what I need from you: • Refine my concept into a concise storyboard and simple animatic so we can lock timing and pacing early. • Produce clean character and background designs faithful to the reference pack I’ll supply. • Animate the full four-minute sequence in smooth 24 fps, adding expressive motion, clear staging, and fun visual flourishes. • Integrate basic sound cues and any dialogue stubs I provide, keeping layers organized for the final mix. • Deliver the final video in 1080p (H.264) along with the project source files for future tweaks. Experience with Toon Boom, Adobe Animate, or similar 2D pipelines is preferred, but any workflow that achieves crisp line work and fluid motion is welcome. If you have past entertainment shorts or music-video style pieces, I’d love to see them. Timeline and milestones are flexible, yet I’m aiming to premiere this clip next month, so steady progress updates are important. If you’re excited to craft a lively four-minute 2D story and can handle the full animation cycle—from boards to final render—let’s chat and get started!
