2D Animator for YouTube Channel
About the Role
We are seeking a Lead 2D Animator to collaborate long-term on a YouTube Shorts commentary channel with 6 million subscribers. We are transitioning to 100% original animated content. You will be responsible for bringing our scripts and voiceovers to life visually, delivering the final MP4 files.
Animation Style
We are aiming for a crude but highly expressive 2D aesthetic. Think:
- Wobbly "line boil" outlines
- Simple geometric characters
- Minimal backgrounds
- Exaggerated facial expressions
For reference, check out the YouTube channel "Rennrat" to understand the vibe. We want something that feels internet-native, raw, fast-paced, and full of personality.
Responsibilities
- Bring scripts and voiceovers (30-40 seconds) to life visually
- Deliver final MP4 files
- Build a reusable asset library (mouths, eyes, bodies, etc.) to speed up workflow
Requirements
- Portfolio/showreel (Instagram or YouTube preferred)
- Proficiency in animation software (Adobe Animate, Toon Boom, etc.)
Compensation
- $50–$100 per short depending on complexity and turnaround speed
- We will start with one paid test video to ensure our styles align.
To Apply
DM or comment with your portfolio/showreel and mention what software you use.
