AI animator to bring storyboards to life for an animated series

I am making an animated web series and I need someone to turn finished storyboard frames into moving shots using AI video tools. THE WORK Every scene is storyboarded shot for shot and the imagery is already final. You take those stills and the recorded dialogue, animate each shot with tools like Veo 3 or Grok, tidy the lip sync against the audio as far as the tools allow, and flag any line where the performance will not hold up so I can get it redubbed. You send the scene back to me as a draft. HOW WE WORK Everything lives in Dropbox. You pull the scene folder and drop your renders back in the same place. I cut in Premiere Pro and the rest of the Adobe suite, so I want clean MP4s per shot or per scene at the frame rate and resolution in the folder, with no titles or effects burnt in. THE SCALE The series runs to six or seven hours of finished content, so this is months of work and thousands of pounds over the run. It is an independent production on a tight budget and I am not going to pretend otherwise. What comes with it is a proper credit, a steady body of work and a show that is genuinely creative rather than corporate filler. THE MONEY The hourly rate on this post is a placeholder. In practice we agree a fixed budget for each piece of work once we are talking, so you always know what you are being paid for a batch before you start it. HOW IT GOES 1. A video call, so we can talk it through properly. 2. A short test: an MP4 with still frames in it, which you send back with those frames animated. 3. If that lands, we agree a price for a batch of scenes and get going. WHEN YOU APPLY, TELL ME AI animation you have done from someone else's stills, ideally with dialogue. Which tools you pay for and can use right now. How long one finished minute takes you, and your rate. How you keep a character and a look consistent across shots. I am not looking for showreel flash. I am looking for someone who can hit the board, stay consistent and turn work around steadily.

Logo animation

Create a clean, modern motion graphic using the supplied logo and slogan: **“One Platform. Every Workplace Decision.”** Include **animated glass-effect icons** with text for: **Desks • Rooms • Visitors • Parking** The icons should have a modern glassmorphism effect with smooth, subtle animations and transitions. Follow the supplied branding and keep the overall design clean and premium. The animation **must be created in Adobe After Effects and be fully editable**. I need to be able to **easily replace/change the logo myself**, as well as edit the text, icons and colours. Please provide the **complete After Effects (.aep) source file with all assets** as well as the final exported video.

Graphic Designer & Character Animator for Children’s Brand

I'm building a new children’s entertainment and family leisure brand centred around an original cast of characters and their rainforest world. I’m looking for a talented character illustrator and/or animator who wants to become part of the project over the long term. This is not a one off illustration job. The ambition is to build a recognisable children’s brand spanning physical venues, social media, animation, stories, books, merchandise, websites, marketing, packaging and more. What already exists The brand direction and two principal characters are established, alongside a developing supporting cast and fictional rainforest world. I have a detailed brand playbook, character concepts, visual references, colour palettes, environments and substantial concept work. I need someone who can take what exists, refine it professionally, standardise it and help develop it into a consistent visual IP. This is NOT an AI generation job I already use generative AI extensively for ideation, concepts and experimentation. I am not looking for someone simply to type prompts into Midjourney, Firefly, ChatGPT or similar tools. I can already do that myself. AI can form part of your workflow, but you must bring skills beyond AI generation. You should be able to genuinely draw, design, illustrate and/or animate, and understand character construction, proportions, expressions, posing, consistency, composition, colour and visual storytelling. For animation, I need someone who understands movement, acting, timing and character performance, not simply how to make an AI image move. The work Projects could include character model sheets and turnarounds, expression and pose libraries, illustrations, social content, short animations, story illustrations, environments, marketing materials, signage, website assets, merchandise and packaging. The work will vary considerably. One project could be a polished jungle illustration; another a 15 second animation, social assets, new character expressions or merchandise artwork. Visual standard The broad visual territory is: Premium children’s picture book × modern animation × magical rainforest. The characters are expressive, dimensional and warm, with textured fur, strong silhouettes and expressive eyes. Premium, but not photorealistic. I don't want stock illustration, generic mascot design, clip art or generic children's jungle artwork. Some applications will require highly polished hero artwork. Others need simpler, reproducible versions of the characters. Everything still needs to belong to the same visual world. Character consistency is critical The characters cannot look different every time they are drawn. Proportions, anatomy, markings, colours and defining features need to remain consistent. We need proper reference material covering turnarounds, proportions, expressions, poses, movement and silhouettes. The aim is to turn the existing concepts into professionally designed, reproducible characters rather than a collection of generated images. Who I'm looking for Experience in children’s entertainment, character illustration, animation, picture books, games, mascots or entertainment IP would be particularly relevant. You don't need to do everything. An excellent illustrator who can animate would be ideal, but I'm also interested in exceptional specialists. You should understand character consistency and visual storytelling, work confidently from an established creative direction, contribute creatively, provide editable/source files and communicate reliably. Most importantly, I’m looking for someone interested in building something over time, not producing a few illustrations and disappearing. There is potential for ongoing work across illustration, animation, stories, digital content, marketing, merchandise, print and physical environments. For the right person, I want this to become a long term creative relationship. Eventually, you should know the characters well enough to recognise when something simply “doesn't look like them”. When applying Please don't send a generic copy and paste proposal. Start your response with “THE CANOPY” so I know you've read the brief. Show me your strongest relevant character/animation work and explain what you personally created. Tell me what software you use, whether you illustrate from scratch, how you maintain character consistency, your animation capabilities, availability and normal rate. If AI forms part of your workflow, explain how. I’m interested in what you bring that I cannot get by generating another AI image myself. Final work must include appropriate editable/source files, with commercial usage and IP arrangements agreed before work begins. The initial project will use existing visual material. The objective isn't to redesign the characters. It's to demonstrate that you can understand them, reproduce them consistently, refine them professionally and make them feel alive.

Dinosaur replacement skin project

Greetings my name is Glenn and I recently started a prehistoric petting zoo which I call Paleo Pals, I'm on Facebook, go and have a look and you'll get an idea what I do. The reason I'm on here is because I require someone whose had experience in making clothing or even stuffed animals from scratch. You see one of my prehistoric animals, these robotic dinosaurs called Pleos are starting to show skin deterioration, their skin is made up of TPE, which over time even with proper care weakens and falls apart. I am looking ways to make replacement skins using similar materials but it could be expensive, so I'm looking into seamstresses to see if anyone can make replacement skins but with soft stretchy fabric. I'll provide photo of what they look like. Let me know if it's something you can help me with. P.s I need people who can not only design but make the skin themselves so experience in stitching is a must

Freelance Motion Designer — Abstract Animation

1-minute sample, followed by 8 videos of approximately 5 minutes each About the project We’re looking for an experienced motion designer to create a series of highly abstract, visually sophisticated animated videos, built around supplied voiceovers. The project starts with a one-minute sample to establish the visual direction and animation quality. Once the sample is approved, you will produce eight full-length videos, approximately five minutes each. We’re looking for the precision, restraint, and polish associated with premium Apple or Meta motion design—but with an original visual language. Creative direction Very abstract. Minimal. Crisp. Beautifully animated. Rather than showing literal objects or illustrating the narration word for word, use movement, shape, light, texture, and composition to communicate ideas. The visuals might include flowing ribbons, transforming geometric forms, translucent layers, shifting patterns, fluid connections, or carefully controlled particles. These are starting points, not a prescribed style—we’re looking for someone who can bring a distinctive creative approach. Do not use paintings, framed artworks, photographs, characters, literal scenes, or stock-footage montages. Avoid generic explainer icons, dashboard-style interfaces, and template-driven animation. The animation should feel intentional and cohesive, with sharp details, considered lighting, smooth transitions, and confident use of negative space. Typography can be used sparingly, but the piece should be driven primarily by abstract motion rather than text on screen. Abstract should not mean random: changes in rhythm, form, scale, and connection should support the ideas and emotional progression of the voiceover. Project structure Phase 1: One-minute sample Create a fully animated 60-second sample, using supplied narration. This is not just a storyboard, a set of still images, or a slideshow. It should demonstrate the proposed visual language, animation quality, pacing, transitions, and synchronization with the voiceover. We will agree on a concept and a small selection of style frames before you animate the sample. The approved sample will establish the design and quality standard for the full series. Phase 2: Eight five-minute videos Following sample approval, produce eight videos of approximately five minutes each—around 40 minutes of finished animation in total. The series should feel visually consistent while introducing enough variation to keep each video engaging. We need someone who can sustain a strong abstract visual language across longer sequences, rather than repeating a short loop or stretching a few ideas. Audio and materials We will provide the scripts, voiceovers, and available reference material. Keep the supplied voiceovers unchanged. Do not rewrite, rerecord, replace, speed up, or retime the narration. Build the visual pacing around the existing delivery. Any additional music or sound design should be agreed upon before use. Deliverables Provide the completed one-minute sample and, following approval, all eight full-length videos. Final delivery should include high-quality 16:9 MP4 exports at a minimum of 1920 × 1080, plus organized, editable project files and associated assets. Please identify any third-party assets, licensing requirements, or generative tools used. Final work must be suitable for commercial use. Who we’re looking for You should have a strong portfolio in abstract motion design, experimental animation, premium technology films, or design-led 2D/3D work. Excellent composition, timing, transitions, and attention to detail are essential. We’re particularly interested in designers who can develop an original visual system and carry it through a substantial series. After Effects, Cinema 4D, Blender, Houdini, or an equivalent professional workflow are welcome. To apply Please send 2–3 relevant examples of abstract animation, clearly stating your role in each, and a brief description of your proposed approach. Include separate pricing for the one-minute sample and the eight five-minute videos, along with your availability, estimated production schedule, revision allowance, and source-file handover details. We’re looking for a creative partner for the full series—not just a one-off sample.

Create 4 x Short AI Product Videos From Existing Footage

I want to produce 4 animated product videos around 10 seconds long each, showing Skittles packs and skittles in an animated way. I have the attached basic footage showing the skittles packets in the set, and I have filmed what I can in camera, but a lot of it would have to be made up in AI. I also have the attached white background product images showing the pack and Skittles from different angles that can be used to help you. Here's a written example of the kind of animation I need, for example on the red pack: 'We want to highlight that they are 'giant' skittles. We will see the pack on the table, wobbling slightly (I have the footage for this) and as we hear a small 'boom' sound as well as the skittle falling (I don't have any audio). The frequency and volume of the sound increases. Eventually the skittles start dropping around the packet until they have covered a lot of the packet (I do have some footage of skittles falling on to the surface but they bounce off in random directions and we don't want this. I do not have the final footage of the pack mostly covered in skittles). I would like a hand to come in and take one out at the end (I only footage showing my hand but it needs to be changed to a nicer hand)' -Please note the other 3 videos will be completely different but the same complexity. -Please allow for a round of edits. HOW MUCH IN TOTAL TO COMPLETE ALL 4 VIDEOS?
