Remote Animator – Anime

Overview

This project seeks a skilled freelance animator to create a manga/anime-style animated fight scene music video for an independent music creator. The concept centers on a main character battling his inner self, visualized as a shadow wolf, blending performance shots with dynamic anime fight sequences. The video must closely sync with the song’s rhythm, lyrics, mood changes, and beat drops, delivering impactful, emotional visuals with fast-paced choreography and dramatic close-ups.

The animator will receive the song, lyrics, concept, references, and finalized main character design. The ideal collaborator is passionate about anime-style action, understands music video pacing, and can deliver cinematic, dark, and atmospheric visuals. The deadline is flexible, prioritizing quality and creative collaboration.
