Worldwide
WARNING: Do not apply if you use automated AI tools, templates, or plan to cut corners. I am an experienced YouTube Producer. I audit all project files before releasing escrow funds. If you do not follow the exact brief, you will not be paid. Job Description: I am a YouTube Producer launching a high-end Christian educational channel telling biblical stories through a clinical psychology lens. I need a skilled 2D Animator to create animated video essays. Each video runs 10–15 minutes (determined by the finished narration). The narration is finalized and professional. I'm looking for someone who can move fast without sacrificing quality. This is a Christian channel — if you're not comfortable with biblical/Christian content, please do not apply. The Workflow: I provide the fully completed script, visual directive, and a professional human voiceover. You provide clean, minimalist line-art animation that matches the pacing of the audio — one consistent character throughout, pop-on/hard-cut delivery (no drawing hand), and all motifs and on-screen text timed to the narration. The Strict Rules: ZERO AI GENERATION. All assets must be hand-drawn or created from clean, real vector/line-art libraries — not AI-generated images. VISUAL CONSISTENCY. Character models must remain 100% identical throughout the video. Fast pacing: assets pop or hard-cut on, something changes on screen every ~10 seconds. No slow drawing-hand animation. PALETTE DISCIPLINE. Cream/off-white background, black line art, ONE accent color on key words only — nothing else. No rainbow, no stock icons. BIBLICAL FIGURES WITH FACES. This channel depicts biblical characters (including prophets) with visible faces as key visual elements throughout every video. You must be comfortable animating biblical figures with faces shown consistently. If not, do not apply. SOURCE FILES. You deliver the native project file (VideoScribe .vsp, After Effects .aep, Doodly project, Clip Studio file, etc.) + 1080p export. Work-for-hire IP assignment: all assets are mine. Rate: $100 flat for a 10-minute video $150 flat for a 15-minute video Videos run 10–15 minutes depending on the finished narration length. This is a flat per-video rate, not per-minute. No negotiation per episode. To Apply: Start your proposal with the word "ANIMATOR" so I know you aren't an auto-bidding bot. Then answer these four things: What software do you use, and what is your realistic turnaround time for a full 10–15 minute video? Confirm you are comfortable depicting biblical figures with visible faces throughout the series. Link your portfolio with clean, minimalist line-art animation that matches this style. Confirm you will deliver both the native project file AND the 1080p export, and that all assets will be work-for-hire (owned by me). The Process: We start with a paid full-video test from my actual script with real voiceover. You deliver the complete 10–15 minute animation in your quoted timeframe. If it's clean and on-time, it counts as Video 1, and we move into ongoing work. What I'm looking for: Someone who understands minimalist animation, respects deadlines, maintains consistency across a full video, and is comfortable with Christian biblical content. This is a professional channel for a serious producer. If you're the type to cut corners with AI or templates, don't apply. If you're solid and can move, let's talk. Ready? Start with "ANIMATOR."
