Cartoon Frame-by-Frame Animators 2D

I’m producing a hand-drawn 2D cartoon that runs a bit longer than five minutes and is aimed purely at entertainment. Storyboards, an animatic with locked timing, model sheets, and layered backgrounds will be ready for you on day one. From there I need full, traditional frame-by-frame animation with lively acting, solid anatomy, and smooth motion that lives up to classic Saturday-morning energy.

Toon Boom Harmony or TVPaint fits our pipeline best, though Adobe Animate (or any package that can export layered PNG sequences) works as long as the final assets integrate cleanly on my side. Everything should be delivered at 24 fps in 1080p.

Deliverables:
• Rough key‐pose pass synced to the animatic for early notes
• In-betweens, clean-up, and colour pass approved scene by scene
• Final 1080p PNG or MOV sequence plus original project files

Acceptance criteria: characters stay strictly on-model, line work is stable with no flicker, colours match the provided palette, lip sync aligns with existing audio, and each export is free of dropped frames.

I’d like to lock picture within about four weeks of kickoff, but I’ll plan milestones around your availability once we connect. If you thrive on expressive cartoon animation and enjoy bringing drawings to life one frame at a time, this should be a fun ride.
