Posted 4 days ago

Summary

Wanting to create a children's animation videos featuring simple line-art illustrations that "color themselves in" in sync with nursery rhyme music, followed by a light animation once the coloring completes (e.g., a colored animal wiggles, a sun bounces, a boat rocks). We need a reusable template SYSTEM, not just one-off videos, so we can scale production efficiently across many songs. What we need: 1. A master coloring-fill animation template (in After Effects or CapCut) where new line-art illustrations can be dropped in and the coloring effect applies automatically or with minimal manual work 2. 3-4 sample "end animation" loops (simple, toddler-friendly movement — bounce, wiggle, sway) that can be reused/recolored across different characters and scenes 3. Clear style guide: bright, simple, high-contrast color palette; thick, friendly line art (no scary/dark aesthetics); calm pacing suitable for toddlers 4. Documentation or a short Loom walkthrough showing how to reuse the template for new songs/illustrations, so future editors (or we ourselves) can produce new episodes efficiently Deliverables: - Master template file(s) - 3-4 reusable end-animation loops - Style guide (1-2 pages) - Walkthrough video explaining the reusable workflow Nice to have: - Experience with children's content or educational animation - Familiarity with syncing animation timing to music/audio cues Please share past animation work, especially anything for children's audiences or music-synced content, along with your estimated timeline and cost for this template system. This is the foundation for an ongoing series — strong template work here likely leads to continued paid work producing episodes.
