Anime Fantasy Trailer Animation

I’m producing a short, high-energy fantasy trailer and need a 2D animator who can take my finished character designs from static PSDs to fully rigged, fluidly animated scenes. The tone is classic anime: sweeping camera moves, layered parallax backgrounds, and expressive faces that sell the story in seconds.

What I already have
• Final character turnarounds, color keys, and personality notes.
• A rough storyboard and timed voice / music track to guide pacing.

What I need from you
1. Digital rigging of each hero and creature so motion stays on-model yet flexible.
2. Full animation of every shot—clean keys, breakdowns, in-betweens, effects layers, and camera moves.
3. Background painting that feels rich and lived-in; think misty forests, arcane ruins, and glowing spell effects.
4. Emotional facial acting and dynamic fight choreography that match the beats in the animatic.
5. Final compositing with lighting, color grading, and subtle post effects so everything snaps together.

Deliverables
• 1080p (or higher) master video, 24 fps, H.264 + lossless version.
• All project source files (Toon Boom Harmony / After Effects / CSP files, layered PSDs, etc.) neatly organized.
• A version without music or dialogue for future dubbing.

Acceptance criteria
The trailer should run the exact length of the supplied audio, hit every storyboard cue, and showcase:
• Believable lip-sync and nuanced eye/mouth shapes.
• Smooth, weighty action with no “floaty” frames.
• Background detail that holds up to modest zoom-ins.
• Color palette matching the provided style sheet.

If you have a reel that highlights fantasy settings, complex rigs, or sakuga-style action, I’d love to see it. Let’s bring this world to life!
