Jetsons-Style Three-Minute Animation
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I need a three-minute-ish cartoon short animated like the early Jetsons episodes—traditional, limited 2D, no rigged puppets or cut-out tricks. 2 characters talking. The script and final audio track are ready; I’ll also provide character models and rough storyboards. Your task is to bring it all to life with authentic hand-drawn holds, mouth-chart lip-sync, cycling backgrounds, and those occasional snappy action bursts that defined classic Hanna-Barbera.
Key points
• Technique: frame-by-frame hand drawing, embracing the economical Jetsons look—reused holds, walk cycles, etc.
• Format: 1920 × 1080, 24 fps, synced to the supplied audio.
• Source files: layered PSDs or Harmony files plus the final compiled video (ProRes or uncompressed MOV).
• Milestones: rough pencil test, clean-up/ink & paint, final composite with light revisions.
The finished piece must feel period-correct while still crisp enough for modern HD screens. Show me samples that prove you’ve worked in this style (or something similar). Let’s recreate that retro-futuristic magic together.
