Children's Animated Series Pilot Production -- 2

Hello,

I am developing a new children’s animated series and preparing to produce a short pilot episode. I am looking for a skilled 2D character animator to collaborate on bringing this first episode to life.

This is a paid, professional opportunity with long-term potential if collaboration is successful.

Project Overview:

• Target audience: 4–7 years old

The focus is strong character animation, including:
• Expressive facial animation (eyes and mouth are essential)
• Clear and dynamic body language
• Clean, smooth character movement
• Simple, bright environments
• Basic lip sync
• Polished timing suitable for children

Character designs are already completed.
Creative direction and concept will be provided.

Important:
This is a character-driven children’s cartoon.
I am NOT looking for explainer videos, motion graphics, slideshow animation, or corporate styles.

Strong character acting is essential.

Deliverables Should Include:

• Animatic
• Full character animation
• Simple background environments
• 2 revision rounds
• Final Full HD export

Estimated budget range: €600 – €1,200

Please provide your estimated delivery time (expected range: 2–4 weeks).

Who Can Apply:

• Talented junior animators or animation students with strong fundamentals

What matters most:
Quality of character animation, timing, expression, and professional communication.

Please Include in Your Proposal:

Please begin your proposal with the word “Character” to confirm you have read the full description.

This pilot is the first step in building a long-term animated project.
If collaboration is successful, there is strong potential for ongoing work.

I look forward to reviewing your work.
