Animator for Branded Character in Kids' Series

Job ID: 39393503

Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD

Title:
Looking for animator to create branded 3D/2D character + replace it in kids’ videos with synced lips, emotions & unique voiceover (15–20 episodes)

Description:
Hi! I’m producing an animated YouTube series for children. Each episode will be up to 5 minutes long, including intro and outro.

The base videos are generated using InVideo AI (visuals only), and I’m looking to fully customize the narrator character — replacing the generic AI child character with my own original branded character named Ellie, a sweet, adventurous 3-year-old girl.

I’m looking for someone who can:
• Create a custom animated character (Ellie) in either 2D or 3D style (please provide pricing for both)
• Replace the host character in each episode with Ellie
• Precisely sync Ellie’s lips to match the spoken words in each episode (not just generic mouth movement)
• Animate Ellie’s facial expressions and body language to match the tone of the script — including smiling, excitement, curiosity, surprise, etc.
• Add basic actions like blinking, pointing, waving, or walking if needed
• Create a reusable 10–15 second intro and outro featuring Ellie
• Add intro/outro to each finished video
• Record and deliver a consistent, childlike English voiceover for Ellie in each episode (based on scripts I provide)
• Add creative visual or audio elements based on your professional judgment to make each episode more engaging and fun

Important:
I want Ellie to have one consistent voice throughout the series, and the voice must be exclusive to this project.
Whether you use a voice actress or an AI voice, I require full commercial rights and written confirmation that the voice will not be reused in other projects.

This is a long-term project with 15–20 episodes planned.



Please include in your offer:
• Price for creating the custom Ellie character (one-time)
• Price for the intro/outro (one-time)
• Price per full episode (up to 5 minutes total, including intro/outro)
• Voiceover cost per episode (with full commercial rights and exclusivity)
• Discount if I order 15–20 episodes
• Turnaround time per episode
• Pricing for both 2D and 3D versions
• Examples of similar animation, precise lip-sync, expressive characters, and creative enhancements you’ve added to past projects

Bonus if you speak fluent English and have experience with children’s content.

Looking forward to working with someone long-term!
