Semi-Realistic 2.5D Cinematic Animator Needed for Full-Length Story Movie (1.5–2 Hours)

We are looking for a skilled animator or small team to create a full-length visual cinematic movie (1.5–2 hours) based on one of our completed fiction stories.

This film should use a semi-realistic 2.5D art style (similar to Arcane / painterly stylized animation), with expressive characters, dramatic lighting, and emotional storytelling. The animation does NOT need to be frame-by-frame; a mix of 2.5D character animation, light movement, stylized sequences, and cinematic transitions is expected.

In addition to the visuals, you will also be responsible for producing the complete audio track using AI, including all dialogue, emotional expressions, reactions, ambience, and overall sound design.

We will provide the full script and character reference images.




What We Need From You

Ability to work in a semi-realistic painterly / 2.5D style

Create consistent characters matching our references

Animate key emotional and dramatic moments

Produce cinematic sequences with expressive camera angles

Create or stylize backgrounds that match the tone

Produce the full AI-generated audio track (voices, emotional expressions, breaths/reactions, ambience, mixing)

Edit everything into a complete 1.5–2 hour movie

Sync visuals seamlessly with your AI-generated audio

Deliver the final HD or 4K MP4





Skills

Strong interest in long-term collaboration (we have many stories)


This is a story-driven film where atmosphere, emotion, and character chemistry matter greatly.
