2-Minute Cartoon Promo Animation
Budget: $30 – $250 NZD
I already have a finished audio track featuring my original characters, and now I want to bring it to life with a full 2-minute 2D cartoon animation that I can share across socials as a promotional piece. The look should lean into classic, expressive cartoon aesthetics—think bold poses, clear silhouettes, and lively exaggeration—so the personalities of my OCs really pop on screen.
Here’s what I’ll hand over on day one: the mastered audio (WAV), basic character sheets, and a rough beat-by-beat outline of the scenes. From you I’ll need storyboards, clean roughs, full-colour animation, compositing, and a final video export in 1920×1080 MP4. If you work in Toon Boom, Adobe Animate, TVPaint, or a similar 2D pipeline, that’s perfect; I’m open to whichever tool makes your workflow smoothest as long as the result is crisp and on-model.
Key acceptance points
• Timing must match the audio down to the frame
• Colours stay faithful to the supplied reference sheets
• Final file delivered in both MP4 (H.264) and source project format
If this sounds like a fun fit, let me know your typical turnaround for each stage (boards, roughs, clean-ups, final), plus links to any previous promotional cartoons you’ve produced. Excited to see my characters animated!
