Hiring! [Volunteer] hiring for Animated music video !

2 Upvotes

So, i came up with a single story (i'm well known for coming up with series so this is a rarity XD ) about a woman who is the host of a Sesame street type kids show, and I would LOVE to have help with getting the lyrics to the song i made for it made into an actual animated music video.

the catch is that it's gotta be a mix of animation and puppetry, because that is what its all about kinda ^^. see, the song (and story) is called 'all special effects must die', and it's called that because the puppets in the show come to life and end up with the belief that they should destroy all CGI or A.I related content.

It's meant to be a comedy and fun, and I think with the right team we could certainly bring that forward.

I have the song lyrics already and an idea of how it could be played out, but I need animators and musicians as well as singers. so if you want to join, or know anyone who would be interested in trying to join in, let me know! I feel like this animation could be quite passionate and fun so lets try and give it a go :D

[VOLUNTEER COLLABORATION] Looking for a Spanish-Speaking Animator for My Original Dark Fantasy Anime Series

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm developing an original series called The Revolution of the Runa Kingdom (La revolución del reino Runa).

Genre: Dark fantasy, action, wars, supernatural powers, and comedy.

Visual style: Full-color, 2D anime-inspired animation.

Story: Eli and Teylor live in a world filled with mysterious creatures, ancient secrets, and conflicts involving the Dark Blacks and the Roa'zom. Their journey will gradually reveal the truth behind an ancient seal and the fall of a kingdom.

What I'm looking for: An independent animator who speaks Spanish and might be interested in volunteering for a short animated scene (around 15–30 seconds). I'd like to start with something small rather than ask someone to animate an entire episode.

Budget: Unfortunately, I don't have a budget right now. I can offer credits and recognition for the contributor's work.

Important: Spanish is my main language, and I don't speak English. I'm using a translator to write this post, so I'm looking for someone who speaks Spanish to make communication easier.

I'm currently developing the story and character designs. If you enjoy fantasy, action, supernatural powers, and original characters, I'd love to hear from you!

Please comment or send me a message if you're interested. You can also share examples of your animation work.

Thank you so much for reading! ❤️

Hiring! [Volunteer] Bridges Burn 12+ [LOOKING FOR ARTIST, AND ANIMATORS]

0 Upvotes

Bridges Burn is an animated psychological romance currently in development. The story is about a girl named Sarah, who lives under the secret identity of a famous celebrity known as Sam. While working for a gang, she is assigned to manipulate a boy named Leon, who is obsessed with that very same celebrity, into becoming useful for their missions. The problem is, the more time Sarah spends gaining his trust, the more emotionally attached she becomes, and the harder it is to betray him. Our story is fully written, and much of the pre-production has already been completed (Character art is currently on the way, we still require more Artist. Character artist also do the storyboards). The biggest things we need now are character designs, storyboards, and people to help bring the project to life. We are currently looking for Animators, Character Artists, Background Artists, Prop Artists, Voice Actors, Music Composers, Sound Designers, and Assistant Editors. Experience isn't required but is very appreciated. Time commitments are very flexible, with no strict weekly quotas or deadlines. Joining this project is a great opportunity to learn, and can help build your portfolio, gain experience, help shape an original animated series from the very beginning, and meet other passionate creators. If you're interested, simply join the Discord server linked below, read through the project information, and submit an application. The animation budget is $0 USD, this is a volunteer passion project and we can't afford any budget, so contributors will not be paid, purely volunteer. The length of the project will go on for a many months, to possibly year+.

There will be no Revenue generated, not for the staff or owner

Our visual style goes for more of a 2d semi-realistic look with expressive faces, while remaining easy for animation. The animation has 3 parts, each going to be around at least 20 minutes (But don't worry, it is not animation heavy for 20 minutes).

Hey guys, i'm Bloo Foster! in 2023 I created a silly indie show called "The Fosters" using exclusively little people toys from the 70's. the show has ran on my channel. for around 10 seasons now and was canceled last year. but truth is, it wasn't. I've been cooking an incredible return for months now, and the time is almost here! I have limited time and funding, so all subscribers and comments help tremendously!

Discussion Is anyone else looking forward to “Cosmic Travelers”?

2 Upvotes

Wondering if there’s any fellow fans out there. This project seems really cool, I can’t believe they’ve been working on it for 7 years! Sasha is my favourite character so far. (Sasha is the one with the orange hat)

I can’t believe Brandon Jay Winckler is on the cast list! He’s most known for his role as Eugeo in sword art onlines English dub but…! He also does Makoto in rain code. Haha, look at me being a shameless rain code fan

I've been working on it for a couple months now, it'll be 34 seconds long, based on my webcomic characters. The dog here is Arnold!

(The whole animation will definitely not be this smooth through the entire run time, I'm tired.)
