I need a short promotional video that showcases my mobile app through lively, motion-graphic storytelling. I have already decided on an animated-character style, so rather than screen recordings or live-action footage, the visuals should rely on engaging characters that highlight the app’s key features and benefits.

I’m producing a short, two-minute video purely for entertainment and I want it to burst with playful, cartoonish energy. All motion graphics will revolve around expressive character animation, so I need someone comfortable taking a design brief, generating or refining assets with AI tools, and then bringing everything to life in Adobe After Effects before delivering a polished final edit.

I’m producing an adult-oriented narrative and need a 2D animator who can work in a realistic style. The project is story-driven rather than promotional or educational, so every frame has to sell mood, character emotion, and believable movement. What I already have: a complete script, detailed character sheets, and rough storyboards. What I need from you: clean, on-model animation that feels lifelike—think accurate anatomy, subtle facial expressions, natural physics, and smooth camera moves. The final piece will be fully voiced, so lip-sync accuracy is essential. I’ll supply the recorded dialogue; you simply animate to match and leave room for a unified sound mix of music, ambience, and effects later. The workflow I imagine: 1. You block out key poses from my boards for ...

I’m putting together a library of playful, cartoon-style gift packs for my live-streaming app and I’d like to purchase ready-to-use assets at an affordable price. The packs should cover three use cases inside the app: small emoji reactions, mid-sized sticker overlays, and eye-catching full-screen animations that celebrate moments such as new followers, tips, or milestone achievements. The overall vibe is fun and general, not tied to any specific season or gaming aesthetic, so bright colours, light humour, and universally positive themes work best. Each asset must come in web-friendly formats (transparent PNG, animated GIF, or JSON/Lottie for vector pieces) and feel cohesive so users recognize them as part of one branded set. Deliverables I’ll review for approval: ...

Every month I need five short 3-D animated spots— each no longer than two minutes— that spotlight selected pharmaceutical products and build brand awareness. The visual look is already sketched out: I have approved colour palettes and rough character concepts, so you can dive straight into story development and production. What matters most to me is the narrative: each video should weave an engaging mini-story that naturally highlights the product’s benefit without feeling like a hard sell. Because the campaign runs continuously, I’m offering a single, fixed fee paid at the end of every month for the full five-video bundle. I’m flexible on overall timeline as long as we keep to the monthly delivery rhythm. Core expectations • 3-D animation style throu...

I’m developing a short 3-D animated story designed to teach key concepts in a way that resonates with teenagers. The core idea and learning objectives are ready, but I need a skilled 3-D animator who can turn that outline into a visually engaging, narrative-driven piece.

I am building a scene in iClone 8 and need a full-featured Hanuman character created in Character Creator 4. The look should be unmistakably stylized rather than photoreal, yet still powerful and heroic. All visual elements matter equally to me—facial features and expressive morphs, a well-defined simian-human musculature, plus clothing, jewellery, tail and gada that feel faithful to the lore while fitting the stylised direction. Please keep the CC4 topology clean so I can tweak textures or add spring effects later if needed. Animation is required: a basic locomotion set (idle, walk, run), a handful of combat actions, and at least one signature special-ability move (for example, a mighty leap or a size-changing pose). These can be delivered as separate Motion files or embedded in t...

I am launching a series of 20–30-second YouTube Shorts that poke fun at the beautiful game, and I need a 2D animator who can turn quick gags into share-worthy vertical videos. Each short must be 1080×1920, 30 FPS, and paced for that scroll-stopping moment. For every episode I want three core bits woven together: an over-the-top goal celebration, a comical referee blunder, and light-hearted player banter that can even escalate into a playful scuffle. Feel free to sprinkle in any extra slapstick you think will land, as long as the humour stays family-friendly and the characters remain original caricatures (no official kits or logos). The look should be bright, cartoonish, and snappy, with smooth character motion and punchy SFX that help it feel “viral ready.” Think ...

I’m producing a fast-paced, two-minute entertainment piece and I want it to lean fully into slapstick humor. The core footage will be AI-generated, but I need you to shape it into a polished final cut: punchy comedic timing, exaggerated reactions, dynamic camera moves, and, above all, lively character-animation motion graphics that kick each gag up a notch. You’ll handle the entire edit—assembling the AI clips, cleaning up pacing, adding sound effects for every pratfall, and compositing custom-designed character animations that interact believably with the live (AI) footage. Think rubber-hose limbs wobbling after a fall or cartoon stars circling a dazed head. Use any combination of Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, Blender, or your preferred AI-video tools; what matters...
