I Need a 2D Animator with Character Design

Job ID: 38619054

Budget: $499 – $500 USD

‼️ Keep this in mind ‼️
THIS IS UNLIKE ANY OF YOUR PREVIOUS JOBS.

AND IT MIGHT BE YOUR MOST IMPORTANT YET.

So here’s the thing,
I have a story for a 2D animated short film. It’s 13 minutes long. But the animation is still at zero. The storyboard is done, but how it should look from the characters, the environment, etc. are all at zero. This is where you come in. I need someone who can make my story come to life.

Now here is my financial offer:
$500 USD (fixed-price from start to finish)

If you think I’m being too cheap in terms of money, I completely agree with you. So here are my other offers:
(-) When finished, it will be OUR short film, not just mine anymore.
(-) You’ll be able to beat A.I.
(-) I will push you to be great.
(-) One of the GREATEST animated short films OF ALL TIME (if we succeed)

So yes, this will be a 50/50 ownership to the short film.
But speaking of A.I, you should know by now on where the world is heading. Here’s just ONE example: https://x.com/andyorsow/status/1827008954205139298

Basically, one day anyone will be able to create their own film & in the style they want using entirely A.I. So I’m not looking for something good, I’m looking for something great.

This is where I’ll push you. Like I said, this is unlike any of your previous jobs. Because it’s very likely going to be your most important one yet. And I believe I have the knowledge that can make humans still RELEVANT in the age of A.I.

Now I'm not here to fool around. So I’ll be honest. Again, I’m just a one-person army. Right now, I’m trying to strive for my greatness too. So of course, I have things to achieve too, like creating this animated short film.

My mission is simple,
“To prove that to do great things, all you really need are a great idea, a valid reason to do it, and a whole lot of commitment.”

Now here are just some of the details of the project:

The animation should represent BEAUTY & SIMPLICITY.

This link is just “for the sake of reference”, because there are some key elements from this:

(-) No DEI ideology. (I’m here to inspire, not lecture)
(-) A lot of online meetings from time to time.
(-) 13 minutes of runtime.
(-) The deadline is still up for discussion.
(-) You’ll be the only one DOING EVERYTHING on the animation, character design, lighting, the environment, etc.
(-) I don’t care how you’re able to create it as long as it’s ETHICAL.

———————————————

Now I know what you’re thinking, this is crazy. And I don’t blame you, because it is. But I’m not here to be realistic, especially where the world is heading. And yes, I am asking you to sacrifice the short term for the sake of the long term.

So if you’ve read this far, and you're still not interested, I completely understand. And I wish you luck in your future, cuz you will definitely need it.

But if you believe that you have that potential and you’re willing to take on this challenge to produce something that no A.I can do, and something that’s insanely great, then reach out to me. And if you’re chosen, we’ll schedule a video meeting to find out whether we can work together or not.

Thank you,
Chris

P.S.

I attached a file. It’s a concept that I believe must be shared. Hopefully, it’s still there.
