Summary

I'm launching a faceless YouTube channel about ancient humans and everyday life. I need a simple 2D animator who can turn narrated scripts into illustrated animated videos. The style I'm looking for: Watch this for reference → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y108qCOMOqk Simple illustrated characters and scenes. Flat colors, minimal motion — characters don't need to be fully animated frame-by-frame. Think illustrated scenes with basic transitions, elements sliding in, occasional arm/head movement. NOT complex animation. NOT 3D. NOT motion graphics. What you'll receive from me: - A completed script with scene-by-scene visual directions - AI voiceover audio file (already produced) What you'll deliver: - All scene illustrations created from scratch based on the script directions - A fully edited video — your illustrations assembled with the voiceover, synced, with transitions and basic motion - Ready to upload to YouTube — no further editing needed on my end - 3–5 minutes long - 1920x1080, MP4 format Details: Budget: $40–50 per finished video Turnaround: 2–4 days per video Volume: 2–3 videos per week once we're rolling This is ongoing work — if the quality is good, expect consistent weekly projects To apply, please: Link your portfolio or 2–3 samples of similar simple animation work Confirm you can deliver a 3–5 minute video within 3 days Tell me your per-video rate Incldue the words blue penguin in your response
