2D Hand-Drawn Animator – Simple Stick-Figure YouTube Videos
Worldwide
I’m looking for a reliable 2D animator to create simple, hand-drawn animation videos for YouTube. The animation style is intentionally simple: stick figures, basic characters, simple backgrounds, props, and straightforward movements. This is not complex frame-by-frame animation. Videos will typically be around 10 minutes long. This is intended to be ongoing work for the right animator, with the possibility of producing videos regularly. For each video, I will provide: - A recorded voice-over The full script - A detailed document with image references - Scene ideas and visual suggestions throughout the script - Annotations explaining what should happen during different parts of the voice-over You will not need to come up with the entire visual concept yourself. The script and references will give you a clear direction for each scene. The production process is divided into two steps: 1. Create the assets First, you will draw all the assets required for the video, including: - Characters - Backgrounds - Props - Other visual elements needed for the scenes You will send me the assets for review and approval before starting the animation. This is important because it allows us to make any necessary corrections before you spend time animating. 2. Animate the video Once the assets are approved, you will animate the video following the script, voice-over, references, and annotations provided. The animation should follow the narration closely and keep the visuals changing often enough to maintain viewer attention. IMPORTANT: Original Artwork Only No AI-generated images, AI-generated artwork, stock images, photos, or pictures taken from the internet may be used in the final video. All visual assets used in the video must be originally drawn for the project. Reference images provided in the script are there only to help you understand the subject, scene, object, pose, environment, etc. They are not assets to be copied or inserted into the video.
