Looking for an Affordable Team to Help Build a Children’s YouTube Series (Long-Term)

I’m looking for a creative individual or small team to help me launch a children’s YouTube series inspired by my young daughter’s everyday adventures. This is a startup project with a limited budget, so I’m looking for someone who enjoys building something from the ground up and is interested in a long-term partnership. My Budget My budget for the first phase is around $150-$200 USD. If the project is successful, I plan to continue working with the same team on future episodes. What I Need (Phase 1) * Design 3-4 recurring cartoon characters * Main child * Mom * Dad * Small family dog * Create 2-3 simple reusable backgrounds (house, bedroom, park) * Recommend the most affordable workflow for producing future episodes * If possible, create a short 30-60 second sample scene using the characters Future Work If we’re a good fit, I’d like to produce regular short episodes (1-5 minutes) using the same characters and backgrounds. I’m open to AI-assisted workflows or animation software that helps keep production costs low while still producing fun, engaging videos for children. Who I’m Looking For * Children’s illustrators * 2D animators * Motion graphic artists * Small animation studios * AI animation specialists Please Include * A link to your portfolio * Examples of children’s cartoons or character designs * Your idea for keeping production affordable * Your estimated cost for Phase 1 * Your estimated cost per future episode I’m not looking for Disney or Pixar quality. I’m looking for clean, colorful, expressive animation that children will enjoy while staying within a startup budget. If you have ideas on how to produce this series efficiently using reusable assets or AI tools, I’d love to hear them.
