We are a Dungeons & Dragons actual-play group looking for a 2D animation partner to help turn funny, emotional, and character-driven table moments into short animated clips for social media.

We would like to see your portfolio

We are looking for a style and pacing similar to viral TTRPG/D&D animated clips: expressive characters, strong comedic timing, limited but polished animation, exaggerated reactions, clean lip-sync or mouth-shape timing, quick cuts, simple backgrounds, captions, and meme-friendly moments.

Important: we are not looking to copy another creator’s characters, artwork, or exact designs. We want original character designs and animation for our group, with the reference used only for pacing, energy, humor, and short-form storytelling.

This will begin as a paid test project, with the goal of finding a long-term animation partner for recurring clips.

Initial Paid Pilot

Total runtime: approximately 6 minutes 34 seconds
Priority pilot clips: Mackie Outro, Wake Up, Umbrella Quest — approximately 1 minute 33 seconds total

Style / Creative Direction

We are looking for:

* Expressive 2D character animation
* Strong comedy timing and reaction shots
* Limited animation that still feels lively and intentional
* Character-focused staging rather than complex backgrounds
* Fast social-media pacing
* Captions/subtitles that support the humor
* Occasional simple effects, props, or background gags
* A format suitable for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, and X/Twitter

We are open to different production methods, including:

* Hand-drawn 2D animation
* Rigged/cutout animation
* Animated animatic style
* Hybrid storyboard/limited animation approach
* After Effects, Toon Boom, Clip Studio, Adobe Animate, Blender Grease Pencil, or similar workflows

Deliverables

For each finished clip, we would like:

* Final rendered video in 9:16 vertical format, 1080x1920
* Version with captions/subtitles
* Clean audio timing matched to the source clip
* Basic sound polish if needed
* Thumbnail/still frame for social posting
* Project/source files preferred, but please state whether they are included
* Optional: 16:9 or 1:1 versions if you offer repurposing

Assets We Can Provide

We can provide:

* Source video/audio with timestamps
* Character descriptions
* Character reference images, if available
* Notes on each character’s personality
* Context for the joke or scene
* Any recurring logos, fonts, or campaign branding
* Review notes during storyboard/animatic stage

Preferred Workflow

Please describe your workflow, but we expect something like:

1. Clip review and timing notes
2. Rough visual concept / character approach
3. Storyboard or animatic
4. Rough animation pass
5. Review round
6. Final animation, captions, and export

Please include how many revision rounds are included in your quote. Upwork recommends defining deliverables, visual style, milestones, revision rounds, and storyboard/animatic approval points clearly in animation jobs, so we want to keep this organized from the beginning.

We are also requesting quotes for the full 8-clip batch. Please include a per-clip quote and a full-batch quote.

We understand cost will vary depending on whether you recommend a simple animated animatic, limited 2D animation, or more polished custom character animation.

Ideal Candidate

You are a good fit if you:

* Have experience with 2D animation, animated shorts, comedy clips, or YouTube/TikTok/Reels content
* Understand tabletop RPG humor, improv, or character-driven comedy
* Can make dialogue-heavy scenes visually interesting
* Are comfortable animating recurring characters over time
* Can help us develop a repeatable visual style for future clips
* Communicate clearly and can price work by clip or by finished minute

Please Include in Your Proposal

Long-Term Potential

If the pilot goes well, we are looking for an ongoing animation partner for recurring clips from our D&D episodes. We would like to build a consistent short-form animation style and potentially release these on a regular schedule.

YouTube Motion Graphics Animator for Educational Math Channel (Intro & Outro)

PROJECT OVERVIEW

I am looking for a talented motion graphics animator to help elevate the production value of my educational YouTube channel, Math in Motion.

The channel demonstrates how mathematical concepts apply to real-world situations and everyday experiences. Currently, I produce videos by filming on location at various stores and businesses. I am now transitioning to a studio-style format that combines green screen footage with engaging animated backgrounds and motion graphics.

In this new format, I will present in front of a green screen while stylized, math-themed backgrounds and animations appear behind and around me. Rather than using real-world brands or storefronts, the visuals will feature original, math-inspired environments designed specifically for educational content.

I am seeking an animator who can create clean, engaging, and professional 2D motion graphics that help capture viewers' attention during the introduction and conclusion of each video. These animations may include mathematical symbols, equations, text effects, charts, graphs, icons, and other educational visual elements that interact naturally with the presenter.

The core lesson content will be created separately using Canva slides and voice-over narration. Your work will focus on creating a strong visual identity for the intro and outro segments that helps establish a polished, professional, and memorable viewing experience.

Note: You may apply for the Intro animation, Outro animation, or both.

- Animated text and typography
- Graphs and charts
- Educational icons and visual effects
- Create smooth transitions and visual elements that enhance viewer engagement.
- Help develop a consistent visual style and branding for the channel.
- Deliver high-quality final assets and/or reusable animation templates in 1080p or 4K.

REQUIRED SKILLS

- Motion Graphics Animation
- 2D Animation
- Green Screen Compositing (Chroma Key)
- Adobe After Effects
- Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or similar professional editing software
- Strong understanding of timing, pacing, and visual storytelling

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR

The ideal candidate has a portfolio that demonstrates:

- Clean and professional motion graphics
- Bright, engaging educational visuals
- Strong typography and text animation
- Seamless integration of animated and live-action elements
- A friendly and approachable visual style

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- Experience creating educational, explainer, or STEM-related content
- Familiarity with YouTube content production and audience engagement
- Experience building reusable animation systems and templates
- Understanding of how motion graphics can support learning and retention

PROJECT TYPE

Ongoing / Part-Time
This project has the potential to become a long-term partnership as new videos are produced on a regular basis.

HOW TO APPLY

Please include the following in your proposal:

1. A link to your portfolio, highlighting motion graphics, educational content, or green screen compositing work.
2. Whether you are interested in the Intro, Outro, or both.
3. A brief explanation of an educational animation project you are most proud of and why it was successful.
4. Your estimated cost and timeline for creating a custom intro and/or outro package.

I’m a family man I own two businesses and looking to create a YouTube channel and post on it and animation/cartoon videos for kids and looking to possibly starting with posting one video a day seven days a week

Description:

We’re looking for a reliable video editor to help us assemble and polish a parent education course. This initial project is focused on Phase 1: clean course video editing for approximately 22 short modules, most of which are only a few minutes long.

This is not a heavy graphics or animation project yet. For Phase 1, we need someone who can take the raw video footage, match it to the module scripts, and create clean, professional course-ready edits.

The course is designed for parents and focuses on practical education, child development, attention, nervous system regulation, and helping kids thrive at home and in school.

Initial Project: Phase 1 Course Assembly

We have approximately 22 modules that need to be edited into clean training videos.

The footage includes:

Main front camera footage in 4K
Secondary side-angle camera footage in 1080p
Two-channel audio, including a lavalier microphone channel that should be used as the primary audio source
Module scripts that should guide the edit structure

For this first phase, the goal is to:

Stitch together each module based on the script
Sync and organize the front camera, side camera, and lavalier audio
Use the lavalier microphone audio as the main sound source
Cut out mistakes, long pauses, dead space, restarts, and unnecessary sections
Transition naturally between front full shot, front medium/close shot, and side-angle shot where it feels cohesive
Apply basic audio cleanup and leveling
Apply basic color correction / visual consistency between angles
Create clean course-ready exports
Keep the style professional, calm, polished, and easy for parents to watch

We are not looking for heavy B-roll, animations, or advanced visual effects in Phase 1. The priority is getting the core course modules cleanly assembled and ready.

Phase 2: B-Roll Integration

After Phase 1 is complete, we will likely begin a second phase where we add B-roll to the modules. This may include:

AI-generated B-roll footage
Topic-specific visuals
Cinematic cutaways
Parenting, family, learning, classroom, or home environment visuals
Visual support to improve pacing, clarity, and viewer retention

Phase 3: Motion Graphics / Animation

After B-roll is added, we may move into a third phase that includes After Effects or equivalent animation work, such as:

Kinetic text
Simple icons
Animated diagrams
Light motion graphics
Key concept callouts
Retention-focused visual support

The ideal editor does not necessarily need to do all three phases, but we would love to find someone who can grow with the project if the working relationship is strong.

Budget for Initial Phase:

For the initial Phase 1 batch, we are budgeting $550 for the 22 module clean-cut assembly.

Please apply only if you understand that this first phase is focused on clean stitching, syncing, pacing, and course assembly. Additional B-roll and animation work would be quoted separately for later phases.

Ongoing Work Potential:

After the course modules are assembled, there may be ongoing work for:

YouTube videos
Short-form social clips
Course highlight reels
Webinar edits
Promotional videos
Ads and VSL-style content
Future B-roll and animation passes

We are looking for someone organized, reliable, and interested in a long-term collaboration.

Requirements:

Strong English comprehension
Experience editing educational, training, coaching, or course content
Ability to work from module scripts and match footage to the intended structure
Multicam editing experience
Ability to sync video and lavalier audio cleanly
Professional editing software such as Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut, or equivalent
Clean file organization, naming, versioning, and delivery habits
Good judgment on pacing, cuts, and transitions
Ability to deliver polished, course-ready exports

Nice to Have:

Experience with parent education, coaching, wellness, or learning content
Experience adding B-roll to educational videos
Experience with AI-generated B-roll
Motion graphics or After Effects skills for future phases
Experience creating YouTube or social media clips

To Apply:

Please include:

Samples of course, educational, training, or talking-head edits you have done
Your experience with multicam editing and lavalier audio
Your typical turnaround time for short course modules
Whether you are interested in Phase 2 B-roll and Phase 3 animation work later
Your editing software of choice
Confirmation that you understand the initial $550 scope is for Phase 1 clean-cut assembly only

We are excited to find an editor who can help us turn this footage into a clean, professional parent education course and potentially continue with us on future content.

The animation style is simple stick figures with funny human heads, but the storytelling and movement must keep viewers engaged throughout the entire video.

I will provide:

* Script
* Voiceover
* Reference videos
* Thumbnail concept

## Very Important Requirements

1. Consistent Characters

Each important character must have a recognizable appearance throughout the entire video.

For example:

If the video is about King Arthur, every time King Arthur appears, he should have the same face, hairstyle, crown, clothing, and overall look.

Viewers should instantly recognize him whenever he appears.

The same applies to all major characters in the story.

2. Real Animation and Movement

I am NOT looking for static images with simple zoom-in and zoom-out effects.

The reference videos have constant movement.

Characters should:

* Walk
* Run
* Fight
* Point
* React
* Fall
* Celebrate
* Interact with objects

The visuals should actively tell the story.

If most scenes are static images with camera zooms, this is NOT the style I need.

3. No Repeated Scenes

Do not reuse the same scene multiple times throughout the video.

Every scene should feel fresh and move the story forward.

Repeated scenes hurt viewer retention and make the video feel low effort.

4. Visual Storytelling

The audience should understand what is happening even if the sound is turned off.

The visuals should support the narration and make the story easy and entertaining to follow.

5. Humor and Personality

The stick figures should have expressive human heads and facial reactions.

The reference channels use visual humor and exaggerated reactions to keep viewers engaged.

I want the same style.

What I Will Send

I will send 4 reference videos that demonstrate exactly the style I want.

Please watch them carefully before accepting the project.

The goal is to match the pacing, movement, character consistency, and storytelling style shown in those examples.

Deliverables

* 1920x1080 YouTube video
* Full edited video with sound effects
* Animated scenes throughout the video
* Consistent characters
* No repeated scenes
* High viewer retention editing

To Apply

Please send:

1. Examples of similar animated videos you have created.
2. Your turnaround time for a 5–10 minute video.
3. Confirmation that you watched the reference videos and can create a similar style.

I am looking for a long-term editor if the quality is right.

I'm the founder of Vetiver, a fragrance discovery app launching soon. We have a mascot character named Vito, a cute teal perfume-bottle character with a gold cap and a little tuxedo, and I'm looking to bring him to life with Lottie animations for use across our app and website.I'll provide the character art and reference. To start, I'd need a full set of animation states:

Idle (gentle bob/breathe)
Walk cycle
Run cycle (he runs around the screen)
Wave
Blowing a kiss
A "spray" gag (he sprays from his cap)
Celebration (for milestones / user wins)
[open to your suggestions for other expressive states that'd bring him to life]

The animations need to be clean, lightweight, performant, and exported as Lottie JSON, with the editable source files included. Looping where appropriate. Important: these need to integrate cleanly into our actual app build (we're working in Replit / Fable), not just live as standalone files. So they should be delivered ready to drop in — properly named, optimized file sizes, and structured so a developer can trigger each state in-app. If you've integrated Lottie into live apps before, that's a big plus. A few quick questions before you apply:

Is this the kind of character work you've done before? (Feel free to share relevant samples.)
Have you handled Lottie integration into a real app/web build, or do you hand off to the dev for that?
What's your rate — per animation or for the full set?
Rough turnaround for the first batch?
If it goes well, there's ongoing work as we expand Vito across the product.

I am looking for a German Speaking Animated Video Expert to create an animated explainer video for my client in the HVAC sector. The video should be engaging, informative, and effectively communicate the key points of the product or service. The ideal candidate will have experience in creating similar videos and a strong understanding of the HVAC industry.

I'm looking for a highly skilled 3D cinematic artist, animator, or small production team capable of creating a premium, movie-quality brand intro for my gaming and entertainment brand, CRSPYCHCKEN.
This is not a basic logo animation. The goal is to create a fully realized cinematic universe introduction that feels like a cross between a AAA game trailer, action movie opening sequence, and iconic gaming brand reveal.

Project Overview:
The centerpiece of the entire animation is a massive industrial deep fryer that acts as a portal into the CRSPYCHCKEN universe.
From the fryer, hyper-realistic oil erupts and transforms into various fried chicken drumstick characters representing different gaming and entertainment genres before ultimately merging into the CRSPYCHCKEN logo itself.

Visual Quality Expectations:
Unreal Engine 5 quality visuals
Hyper-realistic fluid and oil simulations
Cinematic lighting and volumetric smoke
High-end movie trailer presentation
Dramatic camera work and depth of field
Premium sound design and audio synchronization
Broadcast-quality final render
Scene Examples
The intro features multiple short cinematic sequences including:
Dragon-slaying fantasy warrior
Low-rider outlaw street scene
Military sniper sequence
Boxing championship fight
Archer on a stormy cliff
Futuristic raid team battle
Wild West gunslinger duel
Outlaw king on a massive throne
Each character is a stylized fried chicken drumstick that forms from erupting fryer oil, performs a brief cinematic action sequence, then dissolves back into oil before transitioning into the next scene.

Final Reveal:
All scenes eventually merge together inside the fryer, forming a massive oil vortex that literally cooks itself into the CRSPYCHCKEN logo.
The logo should appear as if it is being fried into existence rather than simply fading onto the screen.

Deliverables:
Full 60-second cinematic version (YouTube content)
30-second version (streaming content)
15-second version (Shorts, TikTok, Reels)
Sound design integration
Editable project files when possible

Inspiration:
The overall energy combines elements commonly found in:
AAA game cinematics
Action movie trailers
Outlaw/western themes
Competitive gaming culture
High-end streamer branding
Stylized comedic mascot characters

Ideal Candidate:
Looking for someone experienced in:
Unreal Engine 5
Blender, Maya, Cinema 4D, or similar
Fluid simulations
Cinematic animation
VFX and particle systems
Trailer-style editing
Professional sound design integration
If you have experience with game cinematics, VFX-heavy animation, action sequences, and premium brand intros, we could potentially build a very long relationship as this is for a brand that is expected to go on for 50+ years.
The goal is to create a memorable signature intro that instantly establishes the CRSPYCHCKEN brand and serves as the origin story of the CRSPY CLAN OUTLAWS universe.

I need someone to create a YouTube video featuring an animated stick figure story with sound and voice over. The ideal candidate will have experience in animation and video production, ensuring the final product is engaging and of high quality. Creativity and attention to detail are essential for this project.

We are building a mascot-driven mobile app and need an experienced Lottie / After Effects / Bodymovin animator to fix our current bee animation system ASAP.

Our homepage bee is currently animated using a frame-based setup, likely a PNG sequence displayed one frame at a time. This does not work for our wearable/customization system because we need accessories to stay correctly positioned on the bee while the bee remains animated.

We cannot make the bee static. The bee must stay animated, and the final animation system needs to support layered wearable items.

What we need:

We need someone who can take our existing bee animation assets and either:

Convert the current frame-based bee animation into clean Lottie JSON, or
Recreate the bee animation in After Effects and export it properly through Bodymovin/Lottie.

The goal is to preserve the current bee style, movement, timing, and personality as closely as possible while making the animation usable for our developer to build the wearable system.

Wearable system requirements:

The animation must allow our developer to accurately place accessories on the bee, including:

Watch on the left hand
Bracelet on the right hand
Future accessories such as hats, glasses, and other wearable items
Proper alignment across the animation so items do not look detached or randomly floating

The animation should be structured cleanly enough for mobile implementation and layering.

Current problem:

Our developer confirmed that the current homepage bee animation is a set of PNG images shown one by one to look animated. This makes wearable placement very difficult. We need a proper Lottie JSON animation that can be integrated into the app and used with the wearable/customization system.

Deliverables:

Clean Lottie JSON file/files for the bee animation
Any required supporting assets
Properly named/exported files
A version that preserves the current bee movement and style
Confirmation that the Lottie works for mobile app implementation
Quick communication with our developer if needed

Timeline:

This is urgent. We need this completed today / within less than 24 hours.

Please only apply if you can start immediately and work quickly. We are not looking for a long multi-day animation project. We need someone who understands Lottie and can solve this fast.

Requirements:

Strong experience with Lottie JSON
Strong experience with Adobe After Effects
Experience exporting with Bodymovin
Experience with character/mascot animation
Experience converting PNG/GIF/frame-based animations into Lottie
Ability to preserve an existing animation style
Ability to communicate clearly and move fast

When applying, please include:

Examples of Lottie animations you have created or converted
Whether you can start immediately
Whether you can complete this within less than 24 hours
Your approach for converting a PNG/frame-based mascot animation into Lottie for a wearable system
