2D Animator Needed – Smooth, Simple Kid’s Nursery Videos

We’re producing kids’ nursery rhyme / Giggle Nursery videos and need a reliable 2D animator who can create smooth, simple, loopable animation that feels clean, gentle, and consistent across episodes. The style is cute, minimal, and video-first (easy to animate, not overly detailed).

Animation Feel (important)

Smooth + simple motion (no jittery / overly complex animation)

Clean easing (nice slow-ins/slow-outs), soft bounce where appropriate

Loop-friendly: subtle idle motion that can run for long durations

Calm kid-safe pacing: readable poses, minimal chaos

Subtle polish is welcome, but no heavy effects clutter

What you’ll animate (examples)

Character idle loops: breathing/bobbing, blinking, small hand/arm movement

Walk cycles / simple actions (wave, clap, point, nod, hop)

Background loops: gentle cloud drift, slight parallax, subtle environment movement

Simple camera moves: slow push in/out, small pan, mild drift (optional)

Deliverables

Final video exports: 1920×1080 (YouTube HD), 25/30fps

Loops delivered as seamless cycles where needed

Audio sync where relevant (beats, lyric timing, mouth flaps if requested)

Tools / Workflow

We can provide: backgrounds + characters (PNG layer sets or source files)

You should be comfortable with:

Rig animation or frame-by-frame where it makes sense

Clean exports + consistent settings across episodes

Ideal Skills

Strong sense of timing and easing (kids animation)

Can keep motion appealing without over-animating

Comfortable delivering consistent style across many videos

Good communicator, takes feedback well, hits deadlines

Ongoing Work
We’re building a pipeline and want someone long-term for repeatable production.

To Apply (please include):

Your animation portfolio (kids content preferred)

1–2 examples of simple smooth loop animation you’ve done

What software you use + your workflow

Your rate (per second / per minute / per project)

Availability (hours/week) and timezone

Bonus if you can:

Mouth flaps (simple lip sync)

Basic compositing polish (clean shadows, subtle highlights, not overdone)

Template-based production for faster repeat outputs
