Eclipse protocol

I’m creating an original anime-style show and I’m looking for a talented, creative animator to bring it to life. For now, the project is focused on animating either the first episode or a high-impact trailer. The animation should feature dynamic action and enemy sequences, incorporating unique, grotesque, and intimidating enemy designs. Fluid combat choreography, creative camera angles, and a cinematic, tense atmosphere are essential. The ideal expert will be collaborative, communicative, open to feedback, and willing to share personal creative ideas. Stylistic references include series such as Berserk, Jujutsu Kaisen, Akudama Drive, Dorohedoro, and Psycho-Pass. A good sense of humor is appreciated, and I am open to the animator’s creative interpretation.

Budget range:
Simple project

Examples:
Tone & Mood:
• Dark, cinematic, tense, and atmospheric
• High-contrast lighting with shadows and dramatic highlights
• Occasional dark humor or twisted moments

Action & Enemy Animation:
• Fluid, dynamic combat sequences with creative choreography
• Emphasis on enemy designs that are intimidating, grotesque, or unique
• Large-scale movement, acrobatics, and high-speed attacks

Visual & Stylistic References:
• Berserk – Dark, gritty world with terrifying enemies
• Jujutsu Kaisen – Smooth, high-energy fight animation and supernatural abilities
• Akudama Drive – Stylish cyberpunk action, cinematic camera angles
• Dorohedoro – Chaotic, grotesque designs with dark humor
• Psycho-Pass – Futuristic, cyberpunk environments with tactical fights

Extra Notes:
• Think cinematic storytelling; fights should feel intense and immersive
• Incorporate creative camera angles and visual storytelling rather than static shots
• Open to animator input and creative interpretation
