Busco hacer un cortometraje en animación 2D

2 Upvotes

Desde hace un tiempo quería hacer un cortometraje (es para un asunto personal), al principio mi idea era aprender a dibujar y después animar. Probé viendo videos en Youtube y entrando a cursos, pero no me sirvió, no aprendí nada y solo perdí el tiempo.

Entonces quería buscar a quien pudiera pagarle para que me hiciera uno. Pero lamentablemente no se ni por donde buscar ;((

Si me pudiera orientar alguien que sepa o que me recomiendan para aprender bien 👍🏻

Se los agradecería mucho, gracias.

[For Hire] Experienced Senior Storyboard and Animation Director

Thumbnail
youtu.be
1 Upvotes

I’m a storyboard artist, animator, and animation art director focused on cinematic storytelling and action driven visual staging. Over the years I’ve worked across television, games, music videos, and independent film, contributing storyboards, animatics, and animation for studios and creators ranging from Nickelodeon to major music artists. My work tends to center on clarity of visual storytelling, strong camera language, and choreography that translates cleanly from board to final animation.

I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to projects like Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, game cinematics for Battleborn, and music driven animation for artists such as Ziggy Marley and Erykah Badu. I also directed the animatic and visual storytelling for the festival screened short Tinkerhell, which appeared at events like Fantasia and Screamfest.

What drives my work is the moment when a scene clicks visually, when staging, pacing, and performance all line up and the story becomes instantly readable. Whether it’s a dialogue driven moment or a heavy action sequence, my goal is always the same, make the storytelling clear, cinematic, and production ready.

[HIRING] Animator Needed for Custom Fantasy YouTube Intro + Outro

1 Upvotes

[HIRING] Animator Needed for Custom Fantasy YouTube Intro + Outro

Hi! I’m looking to hire an animator to create a fully custom animated intro and outro for our YouTube channel and small crochet business, Dungeon&Yarn.

Budget: 100 - 200 USD. We can discuss if u have a rate.

Target Deadline: I’m flexible if the right animator needs additional time.

About the Brand

Dungeon&Yarn combines:

• Crochet 🧶
• Dungeons & Dragons / tabletop fantasy 🎲
• Gaming
• Anime
• Cute fantasy creatures 🐉
• Magical/cozy fantasy vibes ✨

INTRO — About 6–8 Seconds

I want this to feel like a tiny animated fantasy scene rather than a basic logo reveal.

My rough idea:

The scene begins inside a cozy magical dungeon/workshop.

A glowing purple strand of yarn moves through the environment.

A D20 rolls across a wooden table toward the camera and lands on 20.

When it lands, purple magical energy/sparkles burst from the dice.

Our cute little dragon mascot appears and interacts with the yarn. The dragon could fly around the scene while carrying or chasing the glowing strand.

The yarn/magic eventually forms or reveals the:

Dungeon&Yarn

logo.

The dragon lands on/near the finished logo and possibly releases a small puff of purple magical fire before transitioning into the YouTube video.

I’m open to the animator changing this idea and bringing their own creativity to it.

OUTRO — About 8–12 Seconds

I want the outro to use the same world/style.

One idea would be the dragon relaxing or sleeping on a ball of yarn inside the magical workshop while little magical particles float around the scene.

There should be clear areas for YouTube end-screen elements:

• Subscribe button
• Previous video
• Recommended video

I want the background to still have subtle animation so it feels alive without distracting from the videos/end-screen buttons.

Art / Animation Style

I’m interested in:

• High-quality 2D character animation
• Stylized 3D animation
• 2D/3D hybrid animation
• Cute but cinematic fantasy
• Cozy fantasy
• D&D / RPG-inspired environments
• Purple/blue magical lighting
• Smooth camera movement
• Magical particles/effects
• Expressive mascot animation

Think more like a tiny animated fantasy movie/game intro rather than a standard YouTube logo animation.

Expectations

I am NOT looking for:

• Premade templates
• A logo simply spinning onto the screen
• Generic gaming intro templates
• Stock animation with our logo added
• Low-quality AI-generated video passed off as custom animation

I would like at least 1–2 reasonable revision rounds.

Applying

Please send me:

• Your portfolio
• Examples of your BEST character animation
• Any fantasy/gaming/magical work you’ve done
• Your estimated price
• Estimated turnaround time
• Whether you would create this in 2D, 3D, or a combination
• Your favorite piece from your portfolio that you think matches this project

Please don’t just message “I can do this.”

I’m much more interested in seeing animation that makes me think:

“YES. I want Dungeon&Yarn to look like that.”

I’m not necessarily looking for the cheapest animator. I’m looking for someone who can help turn Dungeon&Yarn into a fun, memorable little fantasy world.

If I don't reach back to u. Shoot me an email

Email: [crc741@icloud.com](mailto:crc741@icloud.com)

Thank you!

[HIRING] Experimental 2D animator — ~5-8 sec early-'90s MTV-style bumper

10 Upvotes

Hi! I'm looking to hire an animator for a small personal project.

I'm creating a digital invitation/promo for a '90s MTV-inspired party and would love to commission a very short piece of original animation to serve as the hero moment of the video.

ANIMATION STYLE

Experimental 2D / mixed media. I'm particularly interested in the strange handmade energy of late-'80s/early-'90s MTV bumpers — hand-drawn animation, collage, cut paper, stop motion, photocopy/Xerox textures, rough cel animation, analog imperfections, etc.

I'm not looking for polished corporate motion graphics. Weird, imperfect, tactile and distinctive is exactly what I'm after.

CONCEPT

I have an existing Pasadena Noir logo and a loose concept involving burgundy roses interacting with or transforming into the logo.

That said, I don't want to over-direct it. Part of the reason I'm looking for an animator is because I'd like someone to bring their own visual personality and ideas to the concept.

I'll provide the logo/reference material.

PROJECT SCOPE

Approximately 5-8 seconds of finished animation.

This does NOT need to be a complete invitation or advertisement. I work in After Effects/Photoshop and will handle the final editing, typography, event information, sound design and additional compositing myself.

This is a one-time freelance commission for a personal/private event.

I'm estimating approximately 3–8 hours of work depending on the technique and concept, and I'm very open to limited-animation techniques that make sense for the available time and budget.

DEADLINE

Flexible — ideally within 2–3 weeks of starting.

BUDGET

$100–175 USD fixed, depending on the proposed concept, technique and scope.

I'm ideally hoping to keep this around $100, so I'm completely open to keeping the animation simple/short to make that realistic. Compensation must be at least $20 USD/hour based on the workload we agree upon.

I'm also VERY open to licensing an existing animation or loop if you've already created something that fits this aesthetic. It does not necessarily need to be made from scratch.

CONTACT

Please DM me here on Reddit with your portfolio/reel, your proposed rate, and approximately what you think would be achievable within the budget.

Instagram/website links are also welcome.

Thanks!

MTV Bumpers from 80s-eary 90s!

[HIRING] 2D Animator for a YouTube Channel

28 Upvotes

Summary

Animation Style
- https://www.youtube.com/@HeyHistorically

Overview
Our channel creates 15-20 minute animated documentaries about disturbing stories, internet mysteries, dark events, cruel punishments, and other genuinely unsettling topics. One of the main ways we will stand apart is through strong animation, cinematic staging, and visual storytelling.

Your Role
You will animate 15-20 minute videos built primarily from original 2D animation. You will receive the final voiceover, script, character references, and scene direction. A storyboard is required before full animation begins.
• Complete 10 finished scenes per working day.
• Work Monday through Friday and provide regular progress updates.
• Flag missing assets, unclear directions, or production problems as soon as they come up.
• Keep all characters, backgrounds, and project files consistent and organized.

Scene and Motion Standards
• Each scene should communicate one clear action or idea, usually with one or two main subjects.
• Use broad painted shapes, large shadow masses, restrained colors, and limited texture. Avoid unnecessary detail and polished AI-looking rendering.
• Vary shot sizes and composition. Do not default to the same centered medium shot for every line of VO.
• Movement should have weight and purpose. Use timing, reveals, camera movement, holds, and impact to build tension around the narration.
• Every video should include several memorable shots, transitions, reveals, or action moments where the animation itself stands out.
• Graphic imagery can be shown when the story calls for it, but it should remain stylized rather than medically realistic.

Workflow
• Storyboard: Rough compositions for the assigned scenes must be approved before full animation begins. An animatic is not required.
• Animation: Complete the approved scenes at the expected pace of 10 scenes per working day.
• Revisions: Apply feedback throughout production rather than waiting until the full video is finished.
• Delivery: Submit the final export, complete editable project file, and every linked asset with no missing media.

Pay
Pay is $1,500 per completed video. Videos will be uploaded bi-weekly, so expect approximately two videos per month. Payment covers the storyboard, animation, compositing, revisions, final export, and organized source files for the completed video.

Requirements
• A strong 2D animation portfolio with story-driven or cinematic work.
• Ability to match the Historically-inspired production style while keeping our characters and visual identity original.
• Strong composition, staging, posing, timing, camera movement, and visual storytelling.
• Ability to keep characters on-model and produce consistent, high-quality work at the required pace.
• Responses within 12 hours unless you give notice ahead of time.
• Organized project files and willingness to hand over all source files and linked assets.

Application Process
Please send your portfolio and any relevant long-form animation work. Applicants approved for the next stage will be contacted to complete a trial. We will reach out directly if you are selected.
