Freelance Animator – Comedy Series Pilot

Join a creative project bringing a unique animated series to life. This opportunity involves producing a 180‑second pilot episode for a short‑form cartoon inspired by real events and personalities from social media. The animation style is characterized by simple environments, limited animation, and a strong emphasis on comedic timing. The ideal candidate is comfortable with fast‑paced production schedules and has a keen understanding of meme culture and Adult Swim‑style humor. This is a remote, project‑based role with the potential for future collaboration on additional episodes.

Responsibilities

  • Animate a 180‑second pilot episode featuring a parody character
  • Develop simple backgrounds and environments to support the narrative
  • Apply limited animation techniques to achieve a distinctive comedic style
  • Collaborate with the content studio to ensure the humor and tone align with the creative vision
  • Incorporate feedback efficiently and iterate quickly to meet tight deadlines
  • Deliver final animation files in the required format and resolution

Skills and Requirements

  • Proven experience in 2D animation, preferably for comedic or parody content
  • Proficiency with animation software such as Adobe Animate, Toon Boom, or similar tools
  • Strong sense of comedic timing and visual storytelling
  • Familiarity with meme culture, internet trends, and Adult Swim‑style humor
  • Ability to work independently and manage time effectively in a remote setting
  • Excellent communication skills for remote collaboration
  • Availability for a fast‑turnaround project with potential for follow‑up work
