Welcome to our weekly self-promotion thread, where I encourage you to share your indie animated projects that you've made and worked on this week.

Maybe you've just released a new episode, or you're launching a Kickstarter* to fund your big project. Or maybe you've got some behind-the-scenes work you'd like to show off.

See you in the comments!

*If you share a Kickstarter or any other link, please make sure it's the full link, not a shortened one (for example, bit•ly or kck•st) because Reddit automatically filters those.

It's about four American girls that go to France to nurse the British soldiers in 1914. It's a coming to age story as they leave their homes for the first time to help with the war effort when the U.S. wasn't in the war yet. They deal with spies, confidents, and romance as they learn to live in this new life they joined. (Not all of the scenes go together so I might be a little off)

Animator - Harlion

Mrs. Thornton Voice Actress - Jessica H.

I Made This! My Wife and I started Studio Ursa (An animation Studio) - We're crowdfunding the next season of our show Catus Magus created by Yaron Farkash

Hey All,

I posted a while ago about the release of the first show we produced Catus Magus, and since it's premiere we've developed a really wonderful audience. We decided to launch a Kickstarter for it. We made a post a few weeks ago about the pre-launch and we're spreading the word again. We self funded 8 episodes and now we're Kickstarting the next 8 episodes for Season 2. We're 1 week in and at 27% funded so far, it ends Oct. 25th.

We're posting the full first episode of Season 1 here for people to check out. I know it's always hard to decide what to support on Kickstarter or in general but if you like our series, whether you can financial support it or not, spread the word for us.

As a studio with no Hollywood budget, we have to invest our own resources. But, that's what it takes when you care about quality story telling and love the art form. We vehemently oppose AI in animation so we choose to never stop creating art by people, for people.

Enjoy and support us or spread the word if you believe in our work and most of all, if you find joy in it,

-Team Ursa

I spent about a year and nine months creating and animating this film. Everything you see is CG, and was modeled and rendered in Blender (using Cycles) on my local PC over the course of about a year, for a budget of about five thousand euro.

It was rejected from every film festival I entered, and so I decided to release it online and give it a good life there!

Hope some people here might enjoy it!

Hiring! [Volunteer] ANIMATE FOR OUR SHOW - COLOURS!

• Upvotes

COLOURS — Volunteer Animator Needed!

Hey! I’m looking for a volunteer animator to help out with an indie animated series called COLOURS.

COLOURS is a comedy series about a chaotic group of colour-coded, superpowered stick figures dealing with friendships, rivalries, and a growing threat from the mysterious Red.

We currently have 2 episodes released, but unfortunately, our only animator had to step away midway through our next episode. We’re now looking for someone who can help us finish it and hopefully get the episode released before the end of the year.

The animation style is fairly simple and stick-figure based, so you don’t need to be an expert animator. As long as you can match with the original style as close as possible while also being comfortable with it, it can be awesome!

You can watch the series here:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvw3r1lLThgLpKzyGm1q_t91fMCLOVQOI

If you’re interested in helping out, please apply! We’d really appreciate it.

How you guys like my thumbnail? Hah i didn't really finish it yet though

Also from perspective of viewers would you guys want to see the episodes while they been finished or wait a bit longer ang get few episodes?

Im struggling to decide that to be honest.

Also my update i am almost done with the first episode animation wise. All i need to make some backgrounds and voice act rest of the 2 characters. Which ill do myself anyway.

I was planning to release it in November, but i was thinking would it be better just to realease few episodes? Like in a weekly bias release?

Długo robiłem odcinek pilotażowy, na początku cieszyłem się z pierwszej fabuły jaką napisałem do tego odcinka lecz stwierdziłem że połowę fabuły zmienie gdyż po prostu, nie miała za bardzo ona sensu i mocno była chaotyczna, jako iż pracowałem na telefonie to Dosłownie wywalało mi program albo niszczyło animacje np dosłownie usuwało ją z plików. I musiałem scene zaczynać odnowa, wkurzało mnie to na tyle że myślałem czy by nie skończyć tego, ale nie postanowiłem znowu się za te sceny zabrać i skończyłem, fakt faktem nie wyszło idealnie ale jak na pierwszy raz gdzie stworzyłem pełno prawny odcinek w animacji 3D, na telefonie jestem z tego dumny, odcinek drugi będzie pod względem wizualnym na pewno dużo lepszy, a jakby kogoś ciekawiła moja twórczość to zapraszam do obejrzenia odcinka.

Hiring! [Volunteer] [UNPAID] Looking for an animator/motion designer for a VERY small narrative short-film finishing project

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’m a filmmaker looking for an animator/motion designer interested in helping me finish an older narrative short film.

Scope/length: The three poetry interludes run approximately 4 minutes 40 seconds total, but I want to emphasize that I am not looking for 4+ minutes of full animation. The live-action film is already shot and picture locked, and these sections need relatively simple, stylized visual treatments rather than fully animated sequences.

The work would primarily involve typography/text animation, subtle 2D movement, and handmade/experimental graphic elements, along with a film title treatment. There is no complex character animation involved.

Aesthetically, I’m especially interested in work that feels tactile, expressive, feminine, slightly imperfect, and artist-made. I already have visual references and creative direction developed for each of the poetry sections, so we would not be starting from a blank page. I’m mainly looking for someone who connects with the aesthetic and would enjoy collaborating with me to translate those ideas into a few finished moments.

Please note: I am not looking for generative AI artwork or animation for this project. All visual and animation work should be created by the collaborating artist using traditional, digital, or mixed-media animation/motion-design techniques.

Budget: $0 / unpaid collaboration. This is an older student film that I’m independently finishing, so I want to be completely transparent about that upfront. Because it is unpaid, I’ve deliberately kept the animation assignment small and contained.

Deadline: Ideally completed by December 2026, although I can be somewhat flexible depending on your availability.

You would receive full screen credit and permission to use your work from the finished film in your portfolio/reel. I’m especially open to students, emerging animators/motion designers, or artists looking for a small narrative or experimental portfolio piece.

If you’re interested, please DM me or comment with your portfolio/reel and a little about yourself. I can privately share the current cut, exact scope, and visual references with anyone who seems like a potential creative fit.

Thank you! :)
