About

Project Overview: We’re developing a unique animated series where illnesses and conditions are personified as characters with distinctive personalities, appearances, and behaviors. The first season will consist of 10 short episodes (2–5 minutes each), focusing on 5 core characters: Flu, Anxiety, Insomnia, Allergies, and Migraine. We’re looking for a skilled 2D/3D Character Animator (open to either style) who can bring these characters to life with expressive designs, exaggerated motions, and comedic flair. ✨ Responsibilities Design and animate 5 original characters based on detailed personality briefs. Create character sheets (front/side/3⁄4 views + expressions + accessories). Produce signature animation loops for each character (e.g. sneezing, fidgeting, rubbing temples). Animate short scenes (2–5 minutes) where characters interact with each other. Deliver high-quality, consistent animation assets in a video-ready format. Collaborate on refining the overall visual style and tone (quirky, comedic, slightly satirical). 🎭 The Characters to Animate Flu – chaotic, messy, sneezing, dramatic. Anxiety – jittery, fidgety, constantly overthinking. Insomnia – restless, quirky, always awake, dark circles. Allergies – sensitive, sneezy, watery eyes, triggered easily. Migraine – intense, diva-like, hates noise/light, dramatic reactions. 📦 Deliverables Character concept designs (5 characters). Full character sheets (poses, expressions, accessories). Animation loops (signature actions per character). 1–2 sample interaction scenes for testing. Final animation assets for 10 short episodes. 🧭 Ideal Freelancer Experience with character animation (portfolio required). Strong sense of comedic timing and exaggerated expression. Ability to design unique, stylized characters that fit the same animated universe. Flexible and collaborative—open to creative feedback and iteration. Skilled in either 2D animation (Toon Boom, After Effects, etc.) or 3D animation (Blender, Maya, etc.). 🎨 Style Direction Think Inside Out (Pixar) meets quirky adult comedy shorts. Characters should be exaggerated, expressive, and entertaining—funny first, insightful second. 💰 Budget & Timeline Negotiable based on experience and style (please include your rates). Looking to start immediately, with delivery of first test animation within 2–3 weeks. Full season rollout planned over the next 2–3 months. 📩 How to Apply Share your portfolio (character animation samples are essential). Suggest whether you’d approach this project in 2D or 3D and why. Provide an estimated timeline + cost breakdown.
