2D Animation Music Video

Animated Music Video Needed – Retro Cartoon Style (Mickey Mouse / Popeye Inspired) We are seeking an animator to create a music video for an upcoming original song titled "Jazz Cabbage" by Canadian folk-rock artist Paul Woolner. --Style-- We're looking for a fun, vintage cartoon aesthetic inspired by early animation such as Steamboat Willie-era Mickey Mouse, Popeye, Betty Boop, Fleischer Studios, and other 1920s–1940s cartoons. The video should have a nostalgic, whimsical feel while remaining original and avoiding copyrighted characters or designs. --Concept-- The main character is an animated cabbage ("Jazz Cabbage") who serves as the star of the video. The song's lyrics paint vivid scenes and reference specific locations and situations. We'd like the cabbage character to appear throughout these settings as the story unfolds. We are open to creative interpretation and visual storytelling. To keep the project budget-friendly, we are not expecting full Disney-style animation. We are happy with: -Static or lightly animated backgrounds -Limited character animation -Looping movements and expressions -Motion graphics and camera movement -A "motion comic" or vintage cartoon approach The goal is a charming, engaging video that captures the personality and humour of the song. --Deliverables-- -Full music video synced to the song (3:05 minutes) -HD delivery (1080p minimum) -Suitable for YouTube and social media promotion --What We Will Provide-- -Final mastered audio track -Song lyrics -Creative notes and lyric breakdown -Reference materials and inspiration -Timeline We are hoping to complete the project within 2–4 weeks of hiring. --To Apply-- Please include: -Relevant animation samples -Examples of retro or vintage-inspired work (if available) -Estimated timeline -Approximate budget/rate We are excited to find a creative collaborator who can bring "Jazz Cabbage" to life in a unique and memorable way.
