2D Animation Explainer Video Jobs

I’m looking to create **faceless documentary-style videos with simple stickman animations** for my YouTube channel, inspired by the general style of the **Talking Hat** YouTube channel. Videos shall be animated using keyframes and not traditional manual frame creation like atached in this gig. One important thing: no AI-generated content except backgrounds. The characters, animation, movements, and editing should be manually created. I want to avoid the typical “AI slop” feel that viewers tend to dislike on YouTube. I need an editor/animator who can recreate this type of **simple, expressive, and comedic animation style**. I’ve attached reference videos showing the type of content and animation style I’m looking for. **What I’ll provide:** * Comple...

I’m producing a light-hearted, 3–5 minute 2D animation for my YouTube channel. The video’s sole mission is to entertain, so the pacing should feel snappy, the gags visual, and the storytelling clear even without heavy dialogue. I already have a script and voice-over ready; what I need from you is the full classic cartoon treatment—exaggerated poses, squash-and-stretch, and bold, colourful backgrounds reminiscent of early Saturday-morning shows. Clean, frame-by-frame animation is preferred over motion-tween shortcuts to keep that traditional feel alive. You will handle: • Storyboard based on my script • Character and background design in the same retro style • Full animation, ink & paint, basic sound FX, and final compositing • Deliver...

I have a static diagram that needs to come alive on my site and work as a clear promotional hook. I’m flexible on both the file format (GIF, SVG, or WebM are all fine) and the style—whether you think a subtle 2-D movement, a sleek flat-design loop, or even light 3-D depth will communicate the idea best, pitch it. I have also seen good work using GSAP. The key is that the finished piece must load quickly, look crisp on desktop and mobile, and visually guide viewers toward a call-to-action already in the layout. Feel free to suggest micro-interactions, colour transitions, or other polished touches that fit within modern web performance standards. Deliverables • The exported animation ready for direct web embed • All editable source files (AE, Lottie JSON, SVG la...

I’m producing a short educational film and need a 20–25-second burst of classic 2D, animation. The sequence will illustrate a physics demonstration, so the “characters” are purely scientific: bouncing atoms, pulsing frequency waves, sweeping laser beams and any other stylised props that make the concept pop for young viewers. Think bright colours, fluid squash-and-stretch motion and a playful, cartoonish look that still conveys real scientific behaviour. You’ll start from a written storyboard (I’ll supply it on award) and handle everything from rough animatic to polished, full-colour render. Sound design is covered elsewhere, so this task focuses strictly on the visuals. Deliverables • 1920×1080 H.264 or ProRes video, 24 fps • Origina...

I’m replacing the standard mouse pointer in my PC game with a sleek, SCI FI–inspired design. The look should feel futuristic—clean lines, subtle tech motifs—and include a simple animation such as a gentle pulse or light sweep that loops smoothly without distracting players. Here’s what I need delivered: • Static master frame plus 2–4 frames for a seamless, simple loop • Export in .cur/.ani for Windows and a transparent PNG spritesheet for Unity integration • Source file (AI, PSD, or similar) for future colour tweaks • Hotspot set precisely, crisp rendering at both 32 × 32 and 64 × 64 I’ll drop the files straight into the build and confirm the animation runs clean at 60 fps with no artefacts.

I’m putting together a light-hearted 2D cartoon short purely for entertainment and I’m looking for an animator who can handle the complete process—from rough storyboards all the way through to final render—while also arranging a professional voiceover that matches the characters’ personalities. You’ll have creative freedom on character design and scene composition so long as the look stays colorful, fluid, and unmistakably cartoony. I’ll supply the core concept and any reference material you need; you transform it into an engaging, polished piece that can hold an audience’s attention without relying on corporate or educational tropes. Please factor the following into your proposal: • Running time: approximately 60–90 secon...

I’m putting together a lively science show for children and I want a playful 2D thermometer animation to run on the projector behind me. The look should be bright, rounded and friendly—more like an educational TV segment than a clinical chart—with a single solid-color backdrop so I remain the main focus on stage. No extra characters or mascots are needed. The piece runs exactly sixty seconds. Every ten seconds the “mercury” should jump to the next mark, so by the end of the minute the tube is completely full. Each jump is punctuated by a cheerful “ding” to cue the audience. Aside from that sound, the animation stays silent. Deliverables: • 60-second 2D animation in 1080p (MP4 or MOV, ProRes acceptable) • Six evenly timed fill stages w...

I produce a steady stream of short-form, narrative clips built around colourful humanoid protagonists. Each scene leans heavily on expressive acting, clear facial nuance, clean body mechanics. Think of the punchy timing and rhythmic flow you see in Rennrat, but with an entirely fresh cast and world. @rennrat78/shorts Here’s what I need from you on every piece: • A polished, stylised look that matches the reference quality while remaining unmistakably original. • Story-driven animation: every gesture must support the moment, not just look cool. If you already have reels or individual shots that showcase character acting with a similar stylised flair, drop them in your bid so I can gauge fit quickly. I’m looking to build a long-term partnership and will have a f...

I need a complete 2D animation produced from concept through final render.

I have a fully written educational script designed for elementary school students and I now need it brought to life as a complete video. My first choice is Seedance 2.5 because of its smooth character animation and built-in classroom-style templates, but I’m open to any comparable software if you can match that polished, child-friendly look. You’ll receive the final script immediately; your job is to handle everything needed to transform those pages into a finished video that teachers can play straight away—visuals, timing, transitions, and any on-screen text or simple graphics that help young learners stay engaged. If you can provide voice-over or background music that stays age-appropriate, let me know and we can build that into the plan. Deliverables: • One HD v...

I need ten short 2D animations, each running close to twenty seconds, that capture the fun, exaggerated spirit of online mukbang videos. Every clip should feature lively, cartoonish characters enthusiastically working through piles of classic fast-food—think burgers, fries, fried chicken, milkshakes, pizza slices, the works—with all the playful chewing, stretching cheese pulls, and joyful reactions that make this genre so addictive. Here’s what matters most to me: • Consistency: Although the set-ups can vary, the character design, line weight, and color palette must feel like one cohesive series. • Energy: Fast cuts, expressive face swaps, and tasty close-ups should keep each twenty-second piece visually packed. • Audio-ready: I’ll add sound lat...

I’m producing a 5–10-minute, Hindi-language 2D cartoon for my YouTube channel, aimed squarely at children aged 3 – 7.

I’m producing a lively 2D animation for a Hindi nursery rhyme that will run between three and four minutes and captivate toddlers from the first beat. The visuals must be colourful, friendly, and perfectly synced to the song’s rhythm and lyrics.

I already have the broad strokes of a magical forest world where a band of quirky animal friends lead young viewers through playful lessons about nature, friendship and curiosity. The next step is to shape this into a production-ready property that could live as an animated feature, series pitch or trans-media brand. Here’s what I need from you: • Character design: hand-drawn or painted illustrations that feel timeless—think classic Winnie-the-Pooh storybook warmth rather than slick digital vectors. • Story development: an outline of episode/film arcs that balance education with humour and heart. • World-building: maps, lore notes and visual mood pieces that anchor the forest’s rules, landmarks and recurring magical elements. The overall tone...

I’m adding a fantasy-style Komodo dragon to my game and I need a smooth 2D walk cycle created directly in Krita. The angle should be a 2.5/4 view so the creature looks dimensional while still matching my side-scrolling layout. You’ll handle both the drawing and the frame-by-frame animation inside Krita, keeping everything on separate, clearly named layers so I can tweak colours later. Please work in the native .kra file and also give me a neatly packed, transparent-background sprite sheet when you’re done. Acceptance criteria • 8–12 evenly timed frames that loop seamlessly • Consistent line weight and colour palette across every frame • All layers and frame groups left intact in the .kra for future edits • Final sprite sheet exported at...

La idea es utilizar un workflow híbrido de IA + trabajo artístico tradicional. La IA se utilizará como apoyo para acelerar parte de la preproducción y producción (concept art, fondos, referencias, storyboard y algunos elementos de animación), mientras que el artista será responsable de definir y mantener el estilo visual, diseñar y perfeccionar los personajes, corregir errores, mejorar la consistencia entre escenas y realizar el acabado final de los planos.
