Hand-Drawn Documentary 2D Animation
Budget: $5,000 – $10,000 USD
I’m producing a documentary and now need a series of hand-drawn 2D animation sequences that blend seamlessly with the live-action footage.
Here’s what I’m after:
• Storyboard and style frames that match the film’s tone.
• Rough animatics for timing and pacing approval.
• Final colored, shaded, and composited animation segments (4K resolution, 24 fps, transparent or keyed backgrounds where required).
• Up to two rounds of refinements on both animatic and final renders.
• Delivery of all source files (layered PSD/AI files, .aep or .fla projects, frame sequences) alongside master ProRes files.
The material will illustrate historical events, maps, and character moments, totalling roughly two to three minutes of screen time. I’ll provide the script excerpts, photo references, and narration tracks. You’ll provide the artistic direction, frame-by-frame animation, and any subtle motion effects that enhance clarity without distracting from the narrative.
Experience in documentary storytelling, strong draftsmanship, and the ability to meet a one-month turnaround are essential. If you’ve handled similar projects, especially where animated segments explain real-world topics, please share links or files in your bid.
