Stylized 2D Puppet Animation Needed
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I’m putting together a short, stylised-and-unique 2D piece for a small indie production and need an animator who is comfortable with puppet/tween workflows. Every shot places two to five characters on screen at the same time, trading dialogue, gesturing, and even breaking into the occasional complex bit of choreography.
You will receive:
• cleaned key frames from our lead artist, ready for rigging/tweening
• final voice-over tracks and spot-on sound design
Your task is to rig where necessary, animate the full sequences, and deliver polished, export-ready clips that preserve the illustrated style, keep lip-sync tight, and flow smoothly through each movement beat.
Preferred tools are Toon Boom Harmony, After Effects, or similar 2D puppet-friendly software—whatever lets you keep the line work crisp and the timing snappy.
Deliverables
1. Fully animated HD (or higher) scene files and rendered videos
2. Project files with organized layers and naming, so my team can make minor tweaks later
3. One revision pass per scene to iron out timing or staging notes
If you love squeezing expressiveness out of flat artwork and can work efficiently on an indie-sized budget, I’d love to see your reel and discuss the process and budget.
