I’m ready to turn an existing, fully-approved written script into a 60–90-second 2D explainer where our company mascot carries the story. The look must stay true to our branding guidelines and colour palette, and the animation style needs to feel lively and cartoonish—think genuine character acting with pointing, head turns, facial expressions and subtle body language, not slide-style fly-ins. Here’s the flow I’m expecting: you translate the script into a concise storyboard or animatic, lock that with me, then move on to clean character animation, background/layout, on-brand typography and any UI call-outs the script references. I’ll supply logo assets, the brand style guide and reference poses for the mascot as soon as we start. Deliverables • Approved storyboard/animatic based on the provided script • Final 1920×1080 video (60–90 s) with synced voice and sound effects • Exported MP4 (H.264) plus layered project file (After Effects, Toon Boom, Adobe Animate or similar) • One to two rounds of revision after first full draft to ensure brand colours, timing and character performance feel spot-on If this matches your wheelhouse, let me know your preferred software and timeframe so we can get the mascot talking.

Hello! My name is Mar, and I’m an illustrator and animator with over 10 years of experience creating character-driven animations and explainer content. I specialize in combining clear visual storytelling with expressive character animation — focusing on gestures, timing, and subtle acting rather than simple motion graphics. This project fits perfectly with my workflow. I’m very comfortable taking a script and translating it into a strong storyboard or animatic, ensuring the pacing, clarity, and character performance are all working before moving into final animation. I work primarily in After Effects, and I focus on: • Expressive character acting (head turns, gestures, body language) • Clean, on-brand visuals that respect style guides and color systems • Smooth timing and transitions that support the message • Integration of typography and UI elements without breaking flow My process would follow the structure you described: • Script → storyboard/animatic for approval • Refined animation with character performance and backgrounds • Final polish with sound sync, timing adjustments, and branding consistency Timeline: Typically 1–2 weeks depending on complexity and feedback timing. You’re very welcome to explore my portfolio for examples of animation and character work. Best regards, Mar.
