Hi there, I’d love to help with your pilot episode. I have experience with 2D character animation and understand the appeal of shows like Smiling Friends—simple designs paired with expressive, fluid movement and strong comedic timing. For an 11-minute episode, my approach would be to first establish the visual style and animation workflow, then focus on clean character performances, efficient scene construction, and consistent pacing throughout the pilot. I’m comfortable working in Adobe Animate/Moho and after effects workflows and can provide animation that balances quality with production efficiency. I'd be happy to review the script, character designs, and animatic to discuss scope, timeline, and the best production approach. Looking forward to seeing more about the project. Thank you

Hello, I am a 2D animator with 6+ years of experience in adult cartoon animation, including work inspired by the “Smiling Friends” style (simple shapes, fluid motion, exaggerated expressions, and snappy timing). I will animate your 11‑minute pilot using Toon Boom Harmony, focusing on character acting, comedic beats, and smooth but limited animation to match the show’s aesthetic. My approach includes: rough storyboard timing, key poses, in‑betweening, and cleanup. I can also assist with character rigging for efficiency. I have a portfolio of similar adult cartoon samples. Estimated timeline: 5–6 weeks for full animation (depending on complexity). I can work within a modest budget by using streamlined rigging and limited animation techniques. Best regards.
