I'm looking for an animator for a 10-15 second traditional 2D animation The scene involves the Owl character stuck thigh deep in a patch of Quicksand, pumping her legs, trying to move. She glances over her shoulder, notices the viewer. She shakes her hips side to side for a few seconds, before winking. The quicksand suddenly swallows her a few inches deeper, causing her to look down. The second image provided is how the overall setting and perspective of the scene would look. Your job is to: • Design any new characters that appear in the scene, matching the style of the ones I supply. • Animate the full sequence in clean, on-model 2D. • Deliver the finished clip as an HD MP4 and, if possible, the layered source (Animate/TVPaint/Toon Boom or PSD sequence) so I can archive the project. Smooth timing, expressive poses, are what I'm looking for. If you enjoy squeezing personality into just a few seconds of screen time, this should be fun work. Any references or other projects you've worked on as examples are always welcomed! Open to discussion.

Hello, I will focus on creating a lively 10-15 second animation of your Owl character in the quicksand scene. My plan is to bring out her personality through smooth movement and expressive poses. I’ll start by sketching a few concepts to ensure the character design fits seamlessly with your provided style. Then, I’ll animate the sequence, keeping the timing tight and engaging. It’s all about making those few seconds memorable and fun. I recently worked on a short animated project where I had to capture a character’s struggle and humor in just ten seconds. The final piece not only matched the client’s vision but also resonated well with their audience, adding a touch of personality that made it stand out. Ramandeep K.

Hi, your 10–15 second owl quicksand scene sounds like a great character-animation piece where timing, expression, and clean poses will matter more than complexity. I can help create the full 2D animated sequence with the owl staying on-model, matching the supplied style and perspective, while making the movement feel smooth, expressive, and readable. My relevant work includes 2D animation, motion graphics, character-style scenes, and polished video delivery across 50+ completed projects with a 5.0-star rating. Here’s how I’d approach it: Review your owl/reference images and match the existing art style, perspective, and scene layout Create rough poses/timing first so the glance, hip movement, wink, and sinking beat feel natural Animate, clean up, add final polish, and deliver an HD MP4 along with organized source/layered files where possible I’ll focus on giving the short clip personality — expressive eyes, clear body language, smooth timing, and a fun animated rhythm that works within just a few seconds. I’d be happy to discuss the reference images and confirm the exact style before starting. Ready to begin with a rough timing pass or test animation first.

Hey — saw your post about creating a 15-second 2D anthropomorphic animation featuring an owl. Timing and smooth character movement are usually the trickiest parts in short animations like this. Are you aiming for hand-drawn frames or using digital rigs for the owl’s motion? I’ve done several short character animations focused on expressive animal movements and can help nail the style you want. If you share a storyboard or style reference, I can take a look and give you feedback.
