2D Animator – Musical Teaser Concept at Twine

This role is for a creative 2D animator to develop a short animated teaser for an original musical series in early development. The project centers on ‘Keeper’s Corner,’ a unique story set in a mystical, run‑down café in purgatory, managed by two enigmatic characters : The Keeper and The Host. The aim is to produce a 5–10 second stylized teaser that captures the show’s moody, mystical, and charmingly unsettling atmosphere, inspired by the visual style of Hazbin Hotel and cosmic, Terry Pratchett‑like storytelling. The teaser will focus on the café’s exterior and a scene where the Host welcomes a new soul, establishing the tone and world‑building for the series. This is an opportunity to collaborate closely with a composer and musician, contributing to the visual identity of a musical series where each episode features original songs and character‑driven storytelling.

Responsibilities

  • Develop a short (5–10 second) 2D animated teaser that visually establishes the mood, style, and setting of the series.
  • Interpret creative direction and references to deliver a stylized, atmospheric animation inspired by Hazbin Hotel and cosmic fantasy themes.
  • Design and animate the café exterior and a character introduction scene, focusing on mood, tone, and world‑building.
  • Collaborate with the project creator to discuss visual concepts, required assets, and feedback throughout the process.
  • Ensure the final teaser aligns with the musical and narrative vision of the series.

Skills And Requirements

  • Proficiency in 2D animation software (e.g., Toon Boom, Adobe Animate, TVPaint, or similar).
  • Strong portfolio demonstrating stylized 2D animation, character design, and atmospheric world‑building.
  • Ability to interpret creative briefs and visual references to develop unique concepts.
  • Experience with short‑form animation, teasers, or concept reels.
  • Excellent communication skills for remote collaboration and feedback.
  • Availability for a single project with potential for future collaboration.
  • Interest in musical storytelling and fantasy genres is a plus.
  • Open to animators at beginner, junior, or mid‑level experience.
