Teen-Centric 2D Character Animation
Budget: $14 – $30 NZD
I’m producing an entertainment-driven short that relies on lively 2D character animation built to resonate with a teenage audience. I have a full story outline, visual references, and rough VO timing ready to share; what I need now is an animator who can take these ingredients and craft a polished, engaging final cut.
Here’s how I see the workflow:
• Design or refine the principal characters so they feel fresh, expressive, and age-appropriate.
• Animate a 60–90-second sequence that hits the comedic and emotional beats in the script.
• Add basic motion-graphic accents (titles, simple transitions) only where they heighten the story flow.
• Sync everything to the supplied voice-over and temp track, delivering a ready-to-publish 1080p MP4.
I work in Adobe CC, so compatible project files (After Effects or Animate) will make collaboration smoother, but I’m open to other pipelines if you can export cleanly. Style can lean western cartoon or light anime—whichever best matches your strengths—so long as it feels energetic and teen-friendly.
When you reply, a quick note on your favourite scene you’ve animated for a youth audience and an estimate of how many days you’d need once assets are locked will help me gauge fit. I’m excited to see your characters come to life!
