2D Animator for Children's Series | A Year of Encouragements Press LLC | Handshake
Project Overview:
Do you love cartoons? Do you want to create content that makes kids smile and learn? We are seeking talented 2D Animators to create episodes for a series of wholesome YouTube videos for kids ages 3–6!
We are looking for seniors or recent graduates who love color, movement, and heartwarming stories to bring our animations to life.
- What You’ll Be Doing
- Animating: You will take scripts, voiceovers, and music and turn them into finished 5-8 minute videos. We are looking for a mix of animation styles—utilizing character rigging and "puppet" techniques balanced with hand-drawn touches for expressive, high-impact moments.
- Designing: We provide a library of core assets (including our main characters) and several key backgrounds. You will draw/build new secondary characters, props, and backgrounds as needed.
- Visual Style: The goal is a warm, traditional "storybook" feel. We prefer textured, "fuzzy" bitmap lines and organic colors rather than sharp, sterile digital vectors.
- The Niceties
- 100% Remote: Work from the comfort of your own creative space.
- Flexible Schedule: We have allotted 8 weeks per video. We designed this timeline to allow you to balance this project alongside other work or school commitments.
- Weekly Collaboration: Communication is key! We maintain a consistent weekly check-in on a set day to share progress reports and assets. This ensures we stay on track for our 8-week goal and allows for quick, supportive feedback.
- Creative Freedom: We love animation that is expressive, wholesome, and colorful.
- The Details
- Software & Style: Proficiency in 2D animation software (such as Toon Boom, Moho, or Adobe Animate). We want a hybrid approach that balances efficiency with the charm of hand-drawn details.
- Compensation: $125 to $175 per minute of animation (rate depends on experience and portfolio quality).
- Experience: A genuine interest in children’s media is a must! We want someone who enjoys "wholesome" storytelling. Show us your previous work along these lines.
To Apply: Please submit your resume and a link to your portfolio/demo reel.
