I need a 10–12 second vertical 2D animated scene (9:16) for an independent music artist project. I already have: finalized character designs for 3 recurring characters storyboard/keyframes visual references exact scene direction song/audio The animation style should be graphic 2D cel animation with limited animation, expressive character acting, bold shapes, clean linework and restrained shading. It should feel like a stylized animated short, not anime-glossy, 3D, motion graphics, or AI-generated video. The scene takes place inside a car: the three characters are driving normally, the masked rear-seat character suddenly notices a girl outside, lunges forward toward the steering wheel, the driver brakes, and the friends react. There are a few quick cuts including a brake-pedal close-up and reaction shots. Important: character consistency is critical one character has a detailed custom full-face textile mask that must remain exact no lip-sync or dialogue animation required limited frame animation / held poses / smear frames are welcome final delivery: 1080×1920, 10–12 sec source/project files preferred ideally 2 revision rounds Please send examples of 2D character animation / cel animation / short-film animation, especially expressive acting or limited animation. I’d prefer to start with a 2–3 second test shot before assigning the full sequence.

I OFFER A FREE 2–3 SECOND 2D ANIMATION BEFORE YOU CONFIRM — so you can validate the character consistency, custom mask accuracy, cel-animation style, movement, acting and overall visual direction before moving into the full sequence. I can animate your 10–12 second vertical scene using your finalized character designs, storyboard and exact scene direction. I’ll keep the animation in a graphic 2D cel-animation style with clean linework, bold shapes, restrained shading, held poses, limited frame animation and smear frames where they help the movement feel more expressive. Relevant 2D character animation, cel-animation and expressive short-film samples can be shared with my application. I’m available to start immediately and can begin with the 2–3 second test shot.

Hi, I’d love to animate this sequence. My core strength is traditional frame-by-frame 2D animation, so the cel-animated style, held poses, expressive acting, smear frames, and quick cuts are a great fit. I can maintain the three characters consistently, including the detailed custom mask, and deliver the final 1080×1920 vertical animation with the source/project files.

I’m Kaif Hasan. I saw your project and wanted to help you. I’d use limited cel animation, held poses and selective smear frames to make the car sequence expressive while preserving all three characters and the custom mask precisely. 1. Can you provide the finalized character files and storyboard/keyframes for the 2–3 second test? 2. Which animation software/source format do you prefer for the editable project files? I’m new on Freelancer, but I have 7+ years of experience, and I’m offering the most reasonable rates to build great client relationships.

Hi there, I read your project and I am absolutely ready to bring this 10 to 12 second vertical 2D scene to life. You need clean linework, bold shapes, expressive character acting, and strict visual consistency. You specifically mentioned avoiding generic AI generated video. I completely agree with you. My work is not automated. I am an animation director who uses highly controlled proprietary tools combined with intense manual frame by frame drawing, editing, and compositing. I can perfectly execute the 2D cel shaded style, the smear frames, and the held poses you are looking for, ensuring it feels like a true stylized animated short. I know how critical the custom textile mask is. My workflow guarantees absolute character consistency across all cuts, from the brake pedal close up to the sudden lunge forward. I am fully on board to start with a 2 to 3 second test shot. This will prove my precision and quality to you right away. Please take a look at the animations in my Freelancer portfolio to see my extreme dedication to visual consistency and cinematic direction. Send me a message right now with your storyboards and references, and let us start this test shot immediately!
