I’m producing a short, entertainment-focused piece and need a talented 2D animator to bring my original characters to life in a light-hearted, cartoonish style. The storyboards and voice track are ready; what’s missing is the smooth, expressive motion that will give the project its charm.
Here’s how I picture the workflow: after reviewing the storyboard you’ll block out key poses, share an animatic for timing approval, then complete clean-ups, inbetweens, and final color. I’d like the finished animation delivered as a 1080p video file plus the working files (Toon Boom, Adobe Animate or similar) so I can archive the project properly.
Throughout the process I’ll provide prompt feedback on rough passes; in return I’m looking for clear communication on progress and any technical needs. If you’ve previously animated lively, cartoon-style characters for games, shorts, or web series, please send a link—seeing your timing, squash-and-stretch, and acting skills will help seal the deal.
I’m ready to start as soon as I find the right collaborator and can be flexible on deadlines if it means achieving polished, personality-packed movement. Let’s give these characters the energy they deserve!
