2D Animator for YouTube Storytime Videos

Job ID: 40122907

Budget: $100 – $200 CAD

Overview:

I’m a YouTube creator looking for a 2D animator to collaborate on animated storytime videos. These are narrative-driven, voice-over–led videos with expressive visuals, comedic timing, and strong personality.
This will start as a paid test project, with the goal of building a long-term working relationship if it’s a good fit.

What I’m Looking For:

2D animation (or animated panels with motion)
Expressive characters (faces + body language matter more than hyper-smooth animation)
Comfortable working with voice-over narration
Clean communication and reliability
Someone open to feedback and iteration
Style references:
Boondocks / Young Don The Sauce God / sWoozie / RDCWorld1
(Not corporate explainer videos)

Video Details
Length: 6–10 minutes
Format: Storytime (voice-over provided)
Visuals: Characters, simple backgrounds, expressions, light motion
Editing: Animator delivers animation; final edit handled on my end

Budget:

$150–200 CAD per video to start
Budget may increase for the right collaborator over time
Open to creators outside Canada

Long-Term Opportunity:
If the test video goes well:
2–4 videos per month
Consistent work
Clear creative direction
Potential to scale production quality together

How to Apply:
Please send:
Your portfolio or examples (video preferred)
Your animation style/tools you use
Your typical turnaround time
Confirmation that the budget range works for you
Serious inquiries only — quality and communication matter more than speed.
