A 2D Animator/Illustrator is sought to create animation assets for a new children’s You Tube channel designed to provide calm, magical bedtime storytelling for children aged 2–6. The work will involve producing a 20–25 second intro, a 20 second outro, and 4–6 short animations of a recurring animated co-host, Gerry the Giraffe, suitable for integration with live-action footage. The role requires refining existing sketches into polished, production-ready assets in a warm, picture-book style, matching provided music, sketches, and storyboards.

Deliverables must include layered source files with full commercial rights, prepared for export in 1080p/4K resolution.

Requirements

  • Proven experience in 2D animation and illustration, preferably in children’s media

  • Experience designing expressive, whimsical animal characters and storybook environments
  • Proficiency with software such as Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, or equivalents
  • Ability to deliver layered source files (PSD/AI/AE or similar) with full commercial rights
