The script is locked and ready—Tom Richards has packed it with quick-fire gags that beg for a lively, cartoonish treatment. I’m producing this as a true 9:16 vertical short for platforms like TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts, and I need a skilled 2D animator to bring the comedy to life. What you’ll start with • A complete script (PDF) • My own rough character sketches that outline proportions, outfits and key expressions What I’m after Fluid, exaggerated motion and clear comedic timing in a bright, Saturday-morning-cartoon style. Think snappy poses, punchy transitions and visual punchlines that land even on a phone screen. Whether you prefer Toon Boom Harmony, Adobe Animate or a comparable pipeline, I’m happy as long as the final piece is clean and export-ready at 1080 × 1920. Key steps and deliverables 1. Style-frame & refined character sheets for sign-off 2. Rough animatic synced to the script’s beats 3. Clean line-art pass with approved colors 4. Final colored animation with FX, titles and baked-in audio 5. Source files and high-quality H.264/ProRes masters Acceptance criteria • Visual humor reads clearly without dialogue captions • All action remains inside safe areas for vertical display • Final runtime matches the script (≈ 60–90 seconds) within ±1 second If you love crafting cartoonish comedy and can work comfortably within a vertical canvas, let’s talk schedule and milestones so we can start flipping frames right away.
