I am putting together an entertainment-focused project and I need original 2D cartoon animation created from scratch. The final piece should feel lively, playful and fully suited for pure entertainment rather than advertising or training material. Please handle all stages—rough storyboards, clean character animation, colouring, and compositing—and deliver both the rendered video (HD) and the editable source files you work in (for example, Animate/After Effects project, layered PSD or vector files). I will supply the script and any reference art the moment we begin; everything else, from timing to visual style choices, is yours to bring to life. Acceptance criteria • Smooth, on-model animation running at 24 fps (or higher if you prefer) • HD 1080p final export ...

I need a fully-produced animated video that clearly communicates my message while holding the audience’s attention from the first frame to the last. The concept, script polish, storyboards, animation, voiceover and royalty-free music all have to come together seamlessly into a single HD file ready for online use. The core visual style must be animation—no live-action footage—so please lean on techniques such as 2D motion graphics, character animation or kinetic typography, whichever best fits the story once we refine it together. I’ll provide the key points, branding colours and logo; you guide the creative treatment, pacing and length recommendations for maximum impact. Deliverables • Storyboard for approval before production • Final animated video ...

I need a crisp, engaging 3D animated video built around characters and models I already own. All assets will be provided in their native formats; your task is to breathe life into them with smooth animation, cinematic camera work, lighting, and sound so the final piece feels polished and professional. Please handle: • Storyboarding (to confirm pacing and key shots). • Full 3D animation and rendering. • Basic sound design and music bed that complements the visuals. • Final delivery in HD-ready MP4 plus the editable project file (Blender, Maya, or comparable industry-standard software—whatever you are most comfortable with). I’ll supply the character files, reference scripts, and any branding elements as soon as we start. Looking forward to seeing ho...

Project Scope (Strict Order of Work) Phase 1 – Refined Weight Painting (Priority) Complete high-quality, refined skin weight painting on the three provided character rigs. Focus on clean deformation at joints, proper weight distribution, and realistic movement. All skinning bones must remain under the Root_M chain. Controllers must have zero transform values, remain unlocked, and be easy to use. Secondary controls (if already present or needed for proper deformation) should be simple and functional. After finishing the refined weights on all three characters, deliver the files for our review. Do not start any corrective shape work until we confirm that the weights are approved. Phase 2 – Corrective Shapes (Only after Phase 1 approval) Once weight painting is approved, create...

Adobe Character Animator Rigger — Live Screen Share Sessions I'm building a five-character animated music series for kids. Each character is an animal in a band — fox on piano, elephant on sax, giraffe on guitar, bear on drums, rabbit on bass. Two characters are already rigged and working. I need help finishing the remaining three. What I'm looking for Live screen-share sessions where you do the work while I watch and ask questions. I want to learn the process, not just receive finished files. I'll be doing some of the characters myself afterwards, so teaching as you go matters more to me than speed. The work Each character starts as a single flat AI-generated T-pose image. The job is separating it in Photoshop into rigging-ready layers — head, mouth v...

Any use of AI will not be accepted. I'm looking for a 3D animator to work with me in creating animated music videos with character from my writing in the future. If it all goes well, I may also request working together for my book trailers. I’m very particular with how I want things to look, as I am able to vividly imagine the scenes and shots I’m looking for most of the time. Otherwise, for scenes or shots that I don’t have an expectation for, I’m open to suggestions. For the scenes and shots that I do imagine, I can provide a rough storyboard. More than likely there would be a rough storyboard of the whole project, with some parts being more clear than others. These storyboards would include the song audio. I may be able to provide the 3D character model...

I'm building a browser-based 3D cricket game using HTML5 and and am looking for an experienced 3D animation artist to create a complete library of realistic cricket player animations.

Deliverables - Individual animations exported in FBX (preferred) or GLB format. - Compatible with a standard humanoid rig. - Clean animation clips with proper bone hierarchy, transforms, timing, and root motion (where applicable). - Animations must import and play correctly in a application and function properly within a mobile WebView. Please include: - Portfolio showcasing game-ready character animation...

I’m ready to commission a short, polished 3-D animated cartoon that clearly demonstrates my product to an adult audience. The goal is to highlight real-world benefits in an entertaining, professional style that still feels fun and approachable—think smooth character animation, clear visual metaphors, and a snappy call-to-action by the end. Here’s what I have in mind: • Runtime: about 60–90 seconds, long enough to explain key features without losing momentum. • Assets I can supply: brand guidelines, product photos, core messaging points, and a rough outline of the narrative. • What I need from you: a full production cycle—storyboard, modeling, texturing, animation, voice-over sync, sound design, and final mastering in Full HD (or 4K if you r...

I’m looking for someone who can help create a consistent workflow for transforming my dance videos into smooth, professional animated videos. Goal I will provide: * A full-body dance video (15–30 seconds) * A custom illustrated female character I need the final result to: * Preserve my choreography as accurately as possible * Look smooth and natural (no robotic or jerky movement) * Keep the same character across all videos * Be suitable for Instagram Reels (9:16) Editing Requirements The editor should be able to: * Use AI motion transfer tools (Kling, Runway, Pika, or similar) * Improve motion smoothness where necessary * Prevent facial artifacts or unwanted AI-generated facial details * Preserve hand, foot, and body movements as closely as possible * Maintain clean edg...

Here is how my professor wrote the instructions: "Scene 1 Create a Title page with the words “The Bus” on it Put the script “The Bus” under a mask layer Animate the mask to reveal the title Scene 2 Create a city with instances of one building Create traffic using instances of one car Going from left to right create a yellow bus driving through the city When you create the bus, create wheels that turn (a wheel symbol within the bus symbol) Scene 3 A close up of a person in the bus as it drives by.

I produce character-focused animation content and need a reliable full-time assistant who can jump straight into Autodesk Maya work from home. Most of what we do revolves around expressive character animation, so you should feel comfortable taking a scene from initial model through rigging and final render. The role is remote; a Bangladesh-based schedule and cultural familiarity would make daily communication easier, but I will consider any applicant who can overlap with my working hours and keep communication clear in basic English. Day-to-day work will touch every part of Maya—modeling, rigging, and rendering—so broad, hands-on proficiency is essential. I value people who take ownership of their tasks, meet deadlines without supervision, and keep a positive attitude while...

I need a set of clean, loop-ready workout animations that slot straight into our mobile fitness app. The initial batch must cover yoga flows, cardio moves, strength-training exercises, and a few pilates staples so users can preview perfect form before they start each session, should be in 3D. All artwork should match our existing flat-illustration style and export smoothly to the formats our developers already use (JSON/Lottie or high-res transparent gif sequence—whichever keeps file size down without sacrificing clarity). If you’ve tackled similar in-app motion work before, please drop in links or reels of your past projects so I can quickly judge style compatibility. I’m working on a tight launch schedule, so once we agree on the final list of moves I’ll nee...

Project Overview I've built the backend and core logic for an AI-powered software development simulator. The application consists of autonomous AI agents (Backend, Frontend, QA, DevOps, Security, Product Manager, Database, UI Designer, etc.) that collaborate to build software. The backend is already functional—the part I need help with is transforming the frontend into something that feels like a living management game rather than a dashboard. The current interface consists of static desks and icons. I want it redesigned into an animated, cartoon-style office where every AI agent feels like a tiny employee working inside a software company. Think of the visual style and feel of: Software Inc. Game Dev Tycoon Two Point Campus Project Hospital RimWorld (office atmosphere) Overcook...

I’m producing a series of vertical YouTube Shorts—each one a fast-paced, character-driven cartoon running between 15 and 30 seconds at the standard 9:16 aspect ratio. The script for the first short is ready, complete with dialogue cues, scene notes, and timing references; what I need now is a skilled 2D animator who can bring it to life with expressive character animation, snappy pacing, and a polished final render. Here’s what the job involves: • Translate my script into a full animation, designing or rigging any characters, props, and simple backgrounds necessary for the short. • Keep the look playful and colourful in a classic cartoon style (think clean outlines, exaggerated poses, and lively facial expressions). • Deliver the finished piece in 1080...

I have a season’s worth of comedy scripts ready and I’m looking for a skilled 2D animation partner who can bring them to life for a mixed young audience—kids, pre-teens and teens. The tone is light-hearted and fast-paced, so expressive character animation, punchy timing and colourful design will be essential. You’ll receive the completed scripts plus character notes; you’ll handle everything else needed to turn each episode into a polished, broadcast-ready deliverable. If you prefer Toon Boom Harmony, Adobe Animate, TVPaint or a comparable pipeline, that’s perfect—use whichever tools help you deliver smooth, high-quality 2D animation. Key deliverables • Pilot episode (≈1 min) fully animated, mixed and mastered in 1080p • Edita...

I’m ready to turn my finished script into a compelling whiteboard explainer that leans on lively character-based animation rather than the standard hand-drawn line work or pure text. The goal is to break down a single concept for viewers, so every scene should clarify rather than clutter. Here’s what I need from you: • Translate my script verbatim into a clean storyboard, proposing engaging character poses and transitions that keep attention on the core idea. • Produce a full-length whiteboard animation in HD, using classic “drawing hand” reveals where suitable, but focusing on expressive characters to drive the narrative. • Sync visuals precisely to the timing in my script; if you prefer, suggest minor pacing tweaks so the flow feels natural. ...

I have a fully modeled 3D anime girl in Blender (see the short demo here: ). The body rig is complete; what I still need is a clean, production-ready facial rig so she can shift from subtle smirks to broad smiles and everything in between without any mesh distortion. You’ll start from my original .blend file and the reference images I’ll supply for each key pose. Feel free to rely on bones, shape-keys, drivers or a hybrid FK/IK setup—whichever gives the smoothest results—but please keep it native to Blender so I can tweak timing later. The finished rig should: • Support a full range of basic emotions (happy, sad, angry, surprised, neutral) plus eyebrow, eyelid and mouth controls for nuanced acting • Be organized and clearly labelled in English, with in...

16-bit SNES-style pixel art sprite sheet of a fluffy white dog, with animations, for an iOS app. ABOUT Doo Diligence is an iOS app for logging when your dog goes to the toilet. It also ships an iMessage sticker pack. I need the app's character - a white Havanese called Jerry - drawn as a proper 16-bit pixel art sprite sheet with animations. There is more paid work after this for the right artist: 6 more dog breeds in the same style once this one is locked. STYLE 16-bit SNES character sprites - think the character sprites in Yoshi's Island or a late-era SNES platformer. Chunky deliberate pixels, bold dark outline, 2-3 tone cel shading, limited palette. NOT a smooth illustration shrunk down. NOT vector. NOT modern hi-res "pixel-ish" art. If I can see anti-aliasing or a ...

Potrzebuję pięciu krótkich, w pełni ręcznie wykonanych animacji 2D przedstawiających sceny typu „mukbang”. Chcę, aby każda scena skupiała się na przyjemności jedzenia – możesz swobodnie bawić się mimiką i gestykulacją bohaterów oraz sposobem ukazywania potraw, o ile całość powstanie bez użycia jakichkolwiek narzędzi AI. Tło ma pozostać proste i jednolite, aby uwaga widza koncentrowała się na postaciach i jedzeniu. Użyj dowolnego klasycznego narzędzia do animacji (Toon Boom, TVPaint, Adobe Animate, Krita etc.), ważne tylko, by cały proces – od klatek kluczowych po inbetweening – był stworzony przez Ciebie. Oczekiwane materiały: • 5 plików wideo (MP4 lub MOV, 1920×1080, 24 fps) • Źródłowe pliki projektowe z w...
