The Greatest of All Time - anime-style rap battles

I’m currently on the lookout for a 2D animator with a knack for VFX to produce a short film project I’ve titled “The Greatest of All Time”. My concept is an anime-style rap battle, inspired by classic Shonen action anime like Naruto and Dragon Ball. As part of this project, I envision two rising stars in professional rap battling facing off in a sold-out stadium, with the winner being signed by a member of the Top 5—Shine City’s most elite entertainers and warriors.
This personal project is a long term engagement aimed at eventually developing a television series. I am ready to make a paid hire and am open to animators of varying experience levels. The work can be done remotely and there is no requirement for on-location work. I look forward to bringing this project to life with the right animator!
