Animated 2D Music Video Creation

Job ID: 38750962

Budget: $30 – $250 AUD

I'm seeking a professional animator to create a 2D animated music video for a song with a dramatic story.

Key requirements:
- Expertise in 2D Animation: The preferred style for this project is 2D Animation. Your portfolio should reflect significant experience and high-quality work in this animation style.
- Narrative Development: The video needs to convey a dramatic story. This will involve developing the narrative visually, creating engaging scenes that tell the story alongside the music.
- Character Animation: This project will involve animating characters. Experience in character animation is essential.
- Creative Interpretation of Themes: The music video will need to incorporate drug elements. This will require a creative approach to visually representing these themes in a way that fits the overall narrative and style of the video.
- Music Sync: Ensure that the animation is well-synchronized with the beats and rhythm of the song.
- Color Palette: Use a consistent and thematic color palette that enhances the emotional impact of the video.
- Special Effects: Incorporate special effects that add dynamism and enhance key moments in the storyline.

If you have a passion for storytelling through animation, a strong understanding of 2D animation techniques, and the ability to creatively interpret and visually represent complex themes, I would love to hear from you. Please provide examples of previous work that aligns with this project.

The expected duration of the music video is between 3 to 5 minutes. The video should have a dark and gritty mood. The expected delivery timeline for the project is a week. The visual style should be simple, aligning with the dramatic story and themes of the video. The song being used is:
Candy- Micah Dailey White
It's about a male teen with longish brown hair, blue eyes, starts taking excessive drugs and goes through an addictive state where he hallucinates and everything. I want the design very simple, as if it were made by a moderate animator.

The character animations and backgrounds should have moderate detail to match the story’s themes. Hallucination scenes should emphasize distorted reality to convey the character's altered state of mind. The visual style should be minimalist to keep the focus on the simple design, aligning with the dramatic story. The animation should be created at a moderately high fps rate to be smooth.

The background setting should depict a city to align with the story's themes. Ensure animation syncs closely with the song lyrics.
