15-20 min Teen Christian Animation
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I’m putting together a 15- to 20-minute 2D animated film tailored for teenage viewers and framed by a positive, openly Christian message. I already have the core plot outlined; what I need now is an animator or small team who can take that outline all the way from visual development to a polished final cut.
The look should feel fresh and contemporary, not preschool-style, with expressive character acting and dynamic camera moves that keep a teen audience engaged. Think clean line work, vibrant colour palettes, and fluid motion rather than limited Saturday-morning loops.
Key stages and deliverables
• Rough character sheets and background concepts for approval
• Scene-by-scene storyboard/animatic with timing locked to the 15–20 min window
• Full 2D animation production (Adobe Animate, Toon Boom, TVPaint or a similar professional tool are all fine)
• Basic compositing, sound effects and music synced to picture
• Final master in 1080p (MP4 or MOV) plus project files
Think: Song of the Sea as your example of what the end product will be.
Acceptance criteria
• Runtime between 15:00 and 20:00 minutes, including titles and credits
• Visual tone suitable for teenagers and consistent with the Christian theme (no profanity or mature content)
• Smooth playback at 24 fps or 30 fps with no dropped frames
• All assets are original or properly license
*Audio not needed, we will do that work, as well as blend this segment into additional segments for a complete 90 minute film. This is act 1 of possibly 4 acts
If you’re passionate about storytelling, comfortable weaving Christian values into your work, and experienced in full-cycle 2D production, I’d love to see your reel and discuss timelines.
