2D Storytime-Style Animator for Tech/Gaming YouTube Channel

Posted 3 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

I run a gaming and tech YouTube channel with over 1.6M subscribers. We're adding animated bits: cutaways inside long videos, quick explainers on how hardware works, and standalone shorts. Style is simple, clean 2D in the vein of JaidenAnimations or TheOdd1sOut. Recurring characters, expressive faces, snappy timing, nothing overproduced. We'll give you high-res product photos to drop into the drawn world, so you never illustrate hardware. The work: 1 to 2 pieces a week, 80 seconds max, most shorter. We supply script, voiceover, and product images. You supply character design, boards, and animation. First job is designing the cast (paid separately), then it's ongoing. Turnaround of 2 to 3 days from script to first cut. To apply, send the portfolio piece closest to this style plus one thing in your own voice. Shortlisted applicants get a paid test: a rough character sheet and a 10-second clip. Tell me your per-piece rate.
