2D Cartoon Frame by Frame Animation NO AI
Budget: $1,500 – $3,000 AUD
2D Animator Needed: Character-Driven Avian Project (Modular/Loop-Based)
Project Overview:
I am looking for a skilled 2D animator (think Rick and Morty style animation) to bring a custom avian-themed lyric video to life. I have all character assets (360-degree turnarounds) and background art ready. I am looking for a partner who understands efficient, modular animation to maintain high quality within a budget.
The Workflow:
I am not looking for 5 minutes of unique movement. The project is structured as follows:
Character Animation (2 Minutes Total): Dedicated, high-quality frame-by-frame acting. This includes specific story beats (a bird interaction, a snatch-and-grab sequence, and character-specific behaviors like preening/plucking).
Looping Sequences: The remaining runtime will consist of short, atmospheric loops (bird perching, looping flight cycles for arrivals/departures).
Environment: Backgrounds are static images; I need atmospheric animation for water, wind in grass, and day/night lighting transitions using quick, blurred cross-fades. Just need a 4-second loop during the day for the background and 4-second loop during night.
Requirements:
Technique: I am looking for hand-crafted 2D animation for the characters strictly. No AI-generated video tools or automated rigging. Please consult with me first before use of AI tools. For the background I don’t mind as long as no AI artifacts occur.
Efficiency: I prioritize reusability—using loops and established flight cycles to maintain production value without unnecessary hours.
Deliverables: I will provide a full storyboard to guide the 2 minutes of character-specific action. The full video will be 5 minutes.
Additional Requirement: Seeking a professional animator with significant experience in frame-by-frame animation and an extensive track record.
