Custom Cartoon Character Animation
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I have a series of short scripts that I want brought to life through animated videos. The end result should have a light-hearted, fully cartoon look, but still capture realistic human motion and expression. Because I don’t yet have character artwork, part of the job is to design original human characters that match each story’s tone before moving on to the animation itself.
Here’s the workflow I have in mind:
1. Create concept art and model sheets for each main character, refining them with my feedback until we lock the final look.
2. Produce storyboards/animatics so timing and staging are clear.
3. Animate the scenes in 2D or 3D—whichever technique you feel best achieves a lively cartoon style—then handle lighting, rendering, and compositing.
4. Deliver polished videos (HD 1080p MP4) ready to post, along with any source files that make future revisions easier.
Acceptance criteria
• Characters match approved concept art and stay on-model throughout.
• Motion syncs cleanly to my supplied voice-over and script timing.
• Final files are free of watermarks and ready for immediate use.
If your portfolio already includes cartoon-style human animation, please share the links so I can get a feel for your aesthetic and technical range. I’m looking to begin as soon as I find the right fit and will provide the first script upon kickoff.
