AI Animation Expert Needed to Build a Character Universe for a National Home Technology Brand

Posted 6 days ago

Summary

I am looking for an experienced AI animator, character designer, and creative storyteller to help me build a unique, character-driven brand for short-form social media content. This is not a one-time project. My goal is to create a consistent cast of recurring characters that will appear in 30–60 second videos across Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, TikTok Reels, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn. I already have the overall creative vision and direction. I am looking for someone who can help bring that vision to life by designing memorable characters, establishing a consistent visual style, and creating an efficient workflow that allows us to produce engaging short-form videos on a regular basis. These videos should be entertaining, visually polished, and optimized for social media rather than traditional long-form animation. Experience with AI-powered creative tools is extremely important. I’m looking for someone who understands how to maintain character consistency from one video to the next while using the latest AI software for animation, voice generation, image generation, and video production. I’m open to your recommendations on the best tools and workflow if they produce high-quality, repeatable results. I’m also looking for someone who can help develop a creative framework for the project, including character reference sheets, personality profiles, prompt libraries, production templates, and a simple brand guide that keeps the content consistent as we continue creating new episodes. This is a collaborative project, not simply an execution job. I value creative input and welcome ideas that improve the characters, storytelling, workflow, or production quality. I’m looking for someone who enjoys brainstorming and wants to help build something original over time. If you’re selected, this has the potential to become an ongoing relationship with regular work creating new social media content every week. Please include examples of AI animation, character design, short-form video content, or other relevant projects that demonstrate your creativity and technical abilities.
