AI Animator for Short-Form Kids Series

Project Overview Existing Characters, Script and Visual World I’m producing a stylized animated YouTube series about a group of teenage girl superheroes. Each episode is approximately 3–4 minutes and created using AI animation tools and professional editing. The complete Episode 1 script, characters, environments, wardrobe, and visual references have already been created. Voiceovers are currently being developed and may include performances recorded by the creator and invited voice performers. I’m looking for an experienced AI animator to work with me to turn the existing assets into polished animated scenes. This is not a character-design assignment. The approved characters already exist and must remain visually consistent throughout the entire episode. What You’ll Do You will: Take scene direction from a completed script Review the existing character and environment references Generate approximately 12–18 animated scenes Create short animated shots of approximately 5–15 seconds Maintain character, wardrobe, environment, and visual continuity Work with temporary and final dialogue recordings Synchronize dialogue, lip movement, facial expressions, and performance Replace temporary dialogue with final voice recordings when available Assemble the scenes into one polished 3–4-minute episode Add appropriate transitions, sound design, and music The completed episode should feel like one cohesive animated story, not a collection of disconnected AI clips. Episode Details Length: Approximately 3–4 minutes Approximately 12–18 scenes Format: 16:9 for YouTube Minimum resolution: 1080p Potential ongoing work across multiple episodes Required Skills Must have experience with at least two current AI image or video tools, including: Runway Midjourney Kling AI Higgsfield Pika Luma Seedance ChatGPT image-generation or editing tools Comparable image-to-video or character-animation platforms Must also be proficient with at least one professional editing or finishing tool, such as: Adobe Premiere Pro After Effects DaVinci Resolve Final Cut Pro CapCut Pro Experience with ElevenLabs, dialogue editing, voice synchronization, and lip-sync workflows is strongly preferred. Character and Wardrobe Continuity Character consistency is one of the most important requirements for this project. You will be expected to: Use the provided approved character references. Preserve each character’s face, skin tone, hair, proportions, and age. Maintain the approved clothing, colors, graphics, logos, and accessories. Preserve the same visual style across all scenes. Maintain consistency across close-ups, full-body shots, profiles, movement, and group scenes Avoid facial, body, wardrobe, or style drift The characters wear clothing based on an existing branded apparel line. These designs are part of the established property and must remain accurate throughout the episode. Style Direction Animated rather than photorealistic Teen-friendly Bright, stylish, and slightly magical Similar in spirit to a modern doll-based or animated adventure series The final characters must match the existing animated artwork. They should not be reinterpreted as realistic people. Paid Consistency Test Finalists may be asked to complete a short paid character-consistency test before being hired for the complete episode. The test may include multiple views or a short movement sequence using one of the provided character references and the character’s existing outfit. Project type: One-time project Duration: 1–3 months Experience: Expert If the collaboration goes well, this may lead to ongoing work across multiple episodes, promotional clips, and other content connected to the series. To Apply Please include: Links to two or three relevant AI-animation samples At least one example showing the same recurring character across multiple shots or scenes The AI and editing tools you currently use A brief explanation of how you maintain character and wardrobe consistency Your proposed workflow for this episode Your fixed-project, per-episode, or hourly rate Your estimated timeline for completing a 3–4-minute episode Whether you are willing to complete a short paid consistency test Your availability for future episodes Please do not apply with only unrelated AI images or generic demo reels.

Project Note This is an original children’s series connected to an established cultural brand, with plans for multiple episodes and expansion. I’m looking for someone who can preserve the world that has already been created and carry it consistently through a complete animated episode.
