2D Animation Explainer Video Jobs

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 want an attention-grabbing animated promo that makes our product impossible to scroll past on Instagram. Your task is to take the product assets I’ll supply (logo, colours, key benefits and a few reference images) and transform them into a polished, upload-ready video that feels native to the platform and speaks directly to shoppers. Here’s what I need from you: • A concise concept and storyboard that highlights the product’s strongest selling point within Instagram’s fast-paced feed. • Full animation production with dynamic motion graphics, text overlays and royalty-free background music or sound design that complements the brand voice. • Final delivery in MP4 plus the editable project file, formatted to current Instagram specs. The vid...

I need a short (60-75 second), character-based animated explainer video for my product, AQQAI. The complete script is already written — every scene, all dialogue, timing notes, and visual direction — so you'd be animating an existing, finished script, not developing the concept from scratch. The video has 7 scenes and uses one recurring character design reused across 5 characters (recolored or given a small accessory each — a scarf, glasses, a hat — rather than five fully distinct designs), which is a deliberate choice to keep production manageable. Style should be simple and flat, in the tone of a modern explainer video — approachable and clean, not a heavily detailed or painterly look. The story: one confident character appears to always have the righ...

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 looking for a creative animator to help me create an animated reel (think of kurtzgezagt or 3blue1brown style animations and story telling) for my book reviews, that I'll post in Instagram. I will provide a full transcript for the content. Requirements: - Animated video and text - Casual tone - Include: - Text overlays - Book illustrations - Background music Ideal Skills and Experience: - Proficiency in animation software - Experience with casual, engaging content - Ability to integrate text, illustrations, and music seamlessly

I’m producing a 5–10-minute, Hindi-language 2D cartoon for my YouTube channel, aimed squarely at children aged 3 – 7. The story will revolve around the theme of “helping,” and I’d like both animal and human characters to share the screen so the message feels warm, lively, and relatable. Here’s what I need from you: • Complete 2D animation for youtube • A cheerful, child-friendly colour palette and smooth cartoon motion • Optional add-ons: Hindi voice-over and background music (let me know if you can supply these or prefer I provide them) • Final deliverables in MP4 plus all project files so future episodes stay stylistically consistent When you reply, please include: 1. A link to your portfolio or sample work in a sim...

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. What I need from you • Original character and background design that feels culturally authentic yet universally appealing • Smooth, expressive 2D animation with accurate lip-sync, playful transitions, and full-HD (1920 × 1080) output • Precise alignment with the audio track (I’ll supply the final song/lyrics once we begin, or we can discuss you handling the vocals) • Delivery of both the mastered video file and the editable project files (Toon Boom, Adobe Animate, After Effects, or a comparable too...

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...

I am building an 8-minute playable vertical slice for a 2D side-scrolling action game, to show to investors. Hand-painted style, gritty sci-fi, warm desaturated palette, strong backlighting. Painterly rather than vector-flat or pixel art. I have finished concept art for six environments. I need them rebuilt as production-ready game backgrounds. What you would deliver • Six environments rebuilt as separated parallax layers (sky / far / mid / playfield / near / atmosphere), each with alpha, plus a flat collision layer • Each environment extended horizontally to 3–4 screens; two of them also extended vertically to 2 screens • A modular kit of roughly 50 reusable pieces — floors, platforms, ladders, catwalks, walls, market stalls, crates, grime overlays — wit...

I have a script and a clear visual reference ready, and I need a skilled 2D vector animator to help me bring a 3-minute explainer video to life for elderly patients. The tone must be gentle, friendly, and easy to follow, steering clear of anything too fast-paced or flashy to ensure it’s accessible for our audience. I’m looking for clean, approachable custom character designs, a full storyboard for review, a warm and reassuring voiceover, and custom soft music all coming together in a polished, HD animated video.

I’m looking for a 2D animator/video editor who can recreate my existing videos using simple, funny stickman/keyframe animations. I will provide the complete voiceover and clearly specify where and when animation is needed. The rest of the video will simply be me talking, so you will NOT need to animate the entire video. I have attached videos that I created myself. These videos should be your primary reference for the animation style, pacing, character movement, editing, and overall visual look. I want you to recreate this style for my new videos while adding your own animation skills and creativity. My animation style is inspired by the general style and comedic approach of the Talking Hat YouTube channel, so you can take inspiration from that type of simple, expressive stickman ...

I will provide the final song, lyrics, complete story, timing, planned scenes, prompts, photos and character references for Izzy, the main French Bulldog. STYLE: Warm, colorful and expressive 2D cartoon animation with cinematic storytelling. The style can use limited animation, animated illustrations, parallax, camera movement and AI-assisted techniques to keep production affordable. Izzy must remain clearly recognizable and visually consistent throughout the entire film. The story begins funny and playful, develops the bond between Izzy and her human, becomes emotional around the idea “Home is not a place. Home is you.” and ends with ...

I need a fully-custom 2D explainer that clearly walks potential customers through my service. The tone should be friendly and reassuring, the visuals lively character animation rather than infographic or whiteboard styles.

I have a finished NSFW illustration that I want brought to life as a seamless, looping 2-3 second animation. The base art is already coloured and layered; what I need is fluid 2D motion that keeps the moderate level of detail in the original piece without over-rendering it. Think subtle breathing, hair sway, or a suggestive body movement that can repeat indefinitely without a visible start or end. You will work directly with the layered source file (PSD/CLIP). Feel free to use Toon Boom, TVPaint, Adobe Animate, After Effects frame-by-frame, or any other 2D pipeline you are comfortable with—as long as the final loop is clean and on-model. Deliverables: • Finished loop in 1080p H.264 MP4 and transparent GIF/WebM • Original project file or image sequence so I can make mino...
