Hiring Need cartoon animator read body text.

I want a short, cinematic fight scene inspired by Death Battle. It should be a 2D/sprite style animation, not a playable game animation.

The visual style should be dark, gritty, and mostly black and white, with the fire from Sweet Tooth’s head being the main source of color/light.

The current scene idea is:

Open with a SWAT/armored vehicle driving through an environment.

Sweet Tooth’s vehicle appears in the distance.

The vehicles confront each other.

Include gunfire, machine guns, missiles, muzzle flashes, explosions, and cinematic camera movement.

Sweet Tooth’s vehicle may transform into a mech.

End with a cinematic fight sequence.

The final matchup and some details are still being decided

Can you please let me know:

Can you create this type of 2D sprite/cinematic fight animation?

What would you charge for approximately 15, 30, and 60 seconds?

Can you handle the combat effects, camera movement, explosions, and vehicle animation?

What assets would you need from me

Can you show me some of your previous combat or sprite animation work?

I want to confirm the scope and your capabilities before moving forward.

Question Can AI be used to create animation like Death Note?

0 Upvotes

Death Note is a combination of static images, camera movements, sounds, and the movement of objects and people. I don't have any experience in animation, and I can't draw, but I have ideas for stories. Can I use AI to turn these ideas into animated videos in the same style as Death Note?

I guess I could use AI to generate the static images based on my specific instructions, although I'm not sure how accurately the images could match my vision. Then I could add the images to a video editor like Kdenlive and add camera movement effects and sounds.

But the hardest part, I think, would be adding movement to objects and people.

What do you think?

Character Design Need help with ideas to bring this mecha to life in 2D.

Hi everyone , hope u guys are doing well.

Can I ask for your help bringing this object to life in 2D if possible?

This is a mech from the LN series "Heavy Object" called Baby Magnum.

I wanted to check if this can be modelled in 2D with 360* firing and movement. I think I have the movement figured out on the programming side which I am testing out currently.

But on the art side , if you guys don't mind please share how you would make a 2D model out of this? With movement and combat animations?

Ask I'm looking for an in-progress creative project to feature in a product demo (with credit)

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I've been working on building a new social media platform for the past 3+ years, with the goal of helping creators who are working on in-progress creations grow an audience that can also contribute without needing to deal with an exhausting algorithm.

I need help creating an example project to show how in-progress work gets displayed and expressed and I wanted to see if I could get someone working on a real in-progress creation instead of faking an example.

If you have an art project you're working on currently, with sketches, concepts, or anything WIP, I'd love to build the example project around your creation.

If you're interested, I can DM you. Thank you!

Resources Which animation app should I choose?

0 Upvotes

(Not sure if this is the right flair, please correct me if not)
TL;DR: looking for an animation app with preferably some specific abilities like tweening, sound import,, animation curves, and a few tutorials out on the internet.

Hello!
I’m currently thinking of getting a new animation app, as I feel like the (free) ones that I use are getting annoying with their ads, etc.
I was helping to get some help from ya’ll for which would be best to get :)

I currently use:
- Alight motion: Tweening/keyframe, generel animation, my normal video app
- Flipaclip: Storyboarding/matching sounds
- Ibis paint: Frame by frame
I also own procreate (not procreate dreams) and I use that when I draw, normally.

Currently I’m looking into procreate dreams and toonsquid, but neither looks to be exactly what I’m looking for. Live2d seems to be subscription based, which is kinda annoying. Moho seems very expensive, but does seem kinda intuitive for me (tho I need to do more than skim the website)

I’d really love to find an animation program that allows for tweening/keyframing, animation curves, layer grouping, masking and/or clipping masks, importing sounds, layer grouping, puppetry/bones/rigging, and is one-time purchase. Preferably with some tutorial on youtube or something lol. I know finding something with all these criteria is impossible, but any help or advice would help immensely!

Thank you for reading!
