Job Description
I am looking for an animator to bring my illustrated toddler story videos to life in a gentle, storybook‑style. I will provide all illustrations, scenes, and voiceover. Your role is to animate the characters with soft, simple movements such as blinking, mouth movement, small hand motions, and subtle body shifts that match the calm pacing of toddler content.
This project is part of an educational series on my YouTube channel, Read, Make, Learn with Ms. Stephanie. The tone is warm, slow‑paced, and emotionally supportive for toddlers and parents.
For the trial task, you will animate a short scene from a Lulu Loop video I have already uploaded to YouTube. I will provide the artwork and audio. This helps me see how well you match the style, pacing, and gentle motion needed for the series.
You should be comfortable with:
2D animation
Adobe After Effects or Adobe Character Animator
Storybook‑style illustration
Soft, toddler‑friendly motion
Syncing simple character movement to existing audio
If the first project goes well, this can become ongoing work as the series continues.
