About this project

Open

Looking for a skilled 2.5D animator/motion designer to bring hand-drawn illustrations to life for short holiday social media videos. Project: We have custom illustrations (architectural scenes, characters, food/product art) that need animating in a cinematic "living illustration" style — parallax camera movement through layered artwork, subtle character idle motion, atmospheric particles (falling snow), and soft animated text reveals. Scope: Animate 3 short videos, up to 10 seconds each. 2.5D parallax animation with layered/rigged artwork. Subtle character motion (idle sway, blinking — not full walk cycles). Snow/particle effects, soft lighting/vignette. Animated text overlays (script-style font). Optional: colorize/texture line-art to match a warm, painterly reference (mention in proposal if this is in your skillset). Final delivery: vertical (9:16), broadcast-safe quality. We'll provide: Final illustration files, reference video, brand colors/fonts. Your proposal should include: Portfolio/reel of similar 2.5D or parallax illustration animation (not just flat motion graphics). Skills in Illustrator and/or Photoshop (layer prep/separation) plus After Effects (Duik, Bodymovin, or similar). Estimated turnaround for 3 videos. Rate — per video or full package.
