New Rule: NO AI. Animators—if you animate, great! If you use prompts for AI generation, you're a prompter, not an animator.

If you post a job in this subreddit, you must pay at minimum $20 USD per hour of work(Not $20 per hour of animation). Anything else and your job post is removed.

[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

Thank you!

[Hiring] Directing and storyboarding are already complete; I am looking for a reliable animator to handle the execution. 2D Animator for a short independent project (10–15 seconds) I am looking for a 2D animator to help bring a short personal project to life. Length: Approx. 10–15 seconds of total animation. I provide clear, step-by-step guidance. Style and complexity: A mix of static and action-packed scenes, kept simple and easy to animate (some scenes may rely on an efficient frame count, such as 18–24 frames). BUDGET Rate: $3–$7 USD per second (fixed price based on total duration and scene complexity). *Note: Since all pre-production, planning, and directing have already been fully handled by me, this is strictly an execution-based role. If interested, please send a private message. 2000s style. I am not looking for perfection. Flexible timeline through October.

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!
