2D Animator Needed for High-Energy Corporate Convention Opening Video (90–180 sec)

Project Description:
We are seeking an experienced 2D animator to create a 90–180 second animated opening video for a large corporate leadership convention. This video will open the event and transition directly to a live speaker walking on stage. The tone should be fun, high-energy, cinematic, and memorable, while still feeling polished and professional.

This is not a simple explainer video — it involves character animation, dynamic transitions, music-driven pacing, and on-screen text reveals.

Style Reference:
- We are looking for a style similar to modern 2D character animation with motion graphics and cinematic pacing.
- A visual reference will be provided to shortlisted candidates.
- Need to keep the style of previous video made by our Team (https://vimeo.com/1137730548)

Creative Overview (High Level) The animation follows a light-hearted but powerful journey:
- A character climbing and celebrating milestones
- A dynamic transition into a humorous, unexpected sequence
- Escalating energy with visual reveals of achievements
- A clean, confident ending that hands the room to a live speaker
Full creative direction, script, and brand guidance will be provided.

Deliverables:
- 1 finished 2D animated video (approx. 90–180 seconds)
- Music synced to animation (licensed or royalty-free)
- Clean on-screen text reveals
- Final export in high-resolution (1080p minimum)

Timeline: Please confirm availability to meet this deadline.
- Project start: As soon as selected
- Final delivery deadline: February 28, 2026

Budget:
We are open to discussion based on experience, quality, and scope. Please include your estimated cost range in your proposal

What We’re Looking For:
- Proven experience with 2D character animation
- Strong sense of timing, pacing, and storytelling
- Ability to balance humor and professionalism
- Clear communication and ability to take creative direction
- Willingness to offer ideas and suggestions where appropriate

To Apply, Please Include:
- Links to relevant 2D animation samples (character-driven preferred)
- Confirmation you can meet the Feb 28 deadline
- Your estimated budget range for this project
- Any initial thoughts, questions, or creative ideas
