[Searching]

2D Animator is needed in Boston, United States.

I write a weekly newspaper advice column for dogs, which is a humorous takeoff on Dear Abby, and I have published several books featuring the dogs in the columns. I am seeking a freelancer to help create a 2-minute 2D animated video featuring realistic dogs on a talk show, using the themes from the columns as scripts. You will need to create realistic 2D models and full rigging for two main dog characters, Frankie and Rufus, animate a radio studio setting with hosting, conversation, and caller interactions, and handle lip sync to provided voiceovers. I will supply the script, voiceover audio, and dog images generated from Midjourney. Once a template and a few videos are produced, I’d like guidance on how to create similar content in the future.
