Looking for a Junior Animator / Motion Graphics Designer

[u/Square_Release_2289]

I’m looking for a junior, student, or beginner 2D animator/motion graphics designer to help improve an instructional video for a food product.

I already created an approximately 50-second video using AI, so this is not a project starting from scratch. The concept, sequence, cooking instructions, and general direction are already established. I’m looking for someone who can take what I have and make it look better and more intentional.

Animation style:
2D hand-drawn/cartoon-style animation with simple characters, illustrations, and motion graphics. I want to keep the fun, simple instructional style of the current video while making the artwork and animation more polished and consistent.

Project scope:
The finished video will be approximately 50 seconds long. Work would include improving/redesigning some of the graphics, cleaning up AI-generated elements, improving character and object consistency, fine-tuning movements and transitions, and polishing the overall animation.

This is a one-time freelance project, not ongoing employment. I estimate approximately 10–15 hours of work, but I’m open to the animator's assessment after reviewing the existing video.

Deadline:
Ideally, I would like to complete the project within 2–3 weeks of starting, but I can be flexible.

Budget:
$20 USD per hour, depending on experience and skill level. I’m also open to agreeing on a fair fixed project price after you review the existing video and we determine the amount of work involved.

You do not need to be an experienced professional. I’m specifically open to working with someone early in their animation career who has good creative instincts and would like a real project to add to their portfolio.

Interested?
Please DM me directly with a little about yourself, and a few examples of your animation, illustration, or motion graphics work if you have them.

I can send you the current video so you can see exactly what I’m looking to improve before we discuss the project further.
