Animated video creator needed for 2-5 minutes video

Animator Needed for Ongoing Character-Based Animated Film Series I am looking for a talented animator or animation team to help bring an original story universe and its characters to life through animated movies and short films. I already have the core creative work developed, including: * Original characters and character designs * Reference images showing exactly how the characters should look * Scripts and storylines * Scene concepts and visual references * Character personalities and roles * The overall visual direction and world I will provide the animator with the character images, script, and references for each project. I need someone who can take those materials and turn them into a polished, engaging animated film. What I Need The biggest priority is character consistency. The characters need to remain recognizable from scene to scene and from one movie to the next. Their faces, clothing, proportions, weapons, companions, colors, and other important design elements should stay consistent with the reference artwork I provide. The animation will include things such as: * Cinematic character scenes * Walking, running, fighting, and other action sequences * Character dialogue * Facial expressions and emotion * Environmental and establishing shots * Fantasy environments * Creatures and character companions * Dramatic transformations and power-up sequences * Cinematic camera movement and transitions The universe has a strong Norse/Viking fantasy influence, so experience with cinematic fantasy, action, mythology, or similar styles would be a major plus. Workflow For each project, I can provide: 1. Character references Images showing exactly what the characters should look like. 2. Script The story, dialogue, narration, and general sequence of events. 3. Scene references Images and descriptions showing the environments, poses, actions, or overall feeling I am looking for. I want to work with someone who can take these materials and handle the animation process while communicating with me throughout production. I am open to traditional 2D/3D animation as well as professional AI-assisted animation workflows, provided the final result looks polished and the characters remain consistent. Long-Term Opportunity This is not intended to be just one animation. I am developing an expanding universe with multiple characters, stories, creatures, locations, and future episodes. If we work well together, I would like to build an ongoing relationship with the same animator or animation team. When applying, please send examples of your previous character animation, cinematic animation, fantasy animation, or animated storytelling work. Please also explain what animation workflow/software you would recommend for this project and how you would maintain character consistency across multiple scenes and future episodes. The goal is to find someone who can take the characters and stories I have already created and help me turn this universe into actual animated films.
