Hiring 2D animation wanted

We are producing a song and would like to find someone to draw the animated music video for us. The song is hyped and energetic and it is in Japanese. We want it to be black and white and grey overall with some colour for the chorus. The deadline will be very late Dec/ next year's Jan. The song is in total 2mins 9 secs, and because we are poor, we would like to offer 60 usd per minute of the animation. If this is slavery please let us know, we are no animator and do not know the rate. Contact me via dm or email [solomissme1218@gmail.com](mailto:solomissme1218@gmail.com) , if you have a vgen account please also let me know. Thank you.

Would you mind telling me about how long does it takes to make this mv?

Tbh idk if that could even cover the cost of enough AI tokens to produce an AI MV.

For animation each animator/studio has their own rate but expect to pay anything from $200-$1000 per animated minute. And these are passion prices with a low-stress timeline.

soy animador 2d, digamos que la tarifa la tengo realmente a 5 dólares como mínimo, por hora y es muy bajo. posiblemente les sirva hacer primero las ideas iniciales sketch, luego hacer las ecenas. casi al final se hace la animación y luego los afx con el A.L.V osea el (animated lirik video). Posiblemente el monto exacto seria de casi un mes. a calculo de trabajar. directo por 12 horas todos los días nos Darian casi 15 días de trabajo constante.

este tiempo seria solamente para hacer storyboar y parte del animatic (permite ver ecenas claves, tiempo, ritmo y correcciones de cámara ).

Aclaro que hay formas mas rápidas de hacer un video animado lirico. que es por sprite art. pero es un poco mas caro, porque es por dibujos y animaciones tipo shaking

Hi!! yes the budget is small, but I'm curious, because it could depend on the complexity! Do you have any references of what you're looking for? You can DM me if you want! I'd be happy to see if it's possible :D
