AI Animator Needed: Short-Form Animated Series for Luxury Women's Brand
About Us
We're a luxury apparel brand celebrating sisterhood and female friendship. We're building an animated social media series — short episodes (30–90 sec) telling real stories about sisters and female friendships throughout history, sports, pop culture, mythology, and more. Warm, witty, "have you heard the story of..." tone. Think editorial illustration meets storytelling. Not corporate. Not childish. Elevated but human.
We have 135+ stories written and ready. This is a long-term content partnership, not a one-off gig.
Style Direction
Our brand uses a continuous line drawing / single-line illustration style. For the animation, we're envisioning that line drawing brought to life — possibly layered with watercolor or color elements to bring warmth and emotion into each piece. We're open to creative input on how color and texture come in.
Think @itslennie on Instagram as a reference for what a short-form animated storytelling series looks like in a social-first format. That's the content model.
The animation can be a mix of symbolism and storyline. I will record the story audio and deliver it — you animate around it.

We're Open to AI-Assisted Animation
We understand that traditional frame-by-frame animation at scale is expensive. We're specifically open to animators who use AI tools (Runway, Pika, Kling, Midjourney, etc.) as part of their workflow — as long as the final output looks intentional, elevated, and consistent with our brand aesthetic. This is social-first content designed for volume and consistency. The production model needs to be sustainable at scale.
What matters to us is the final product, not whether every frame was hand-drawn. If you can achieve a beautiful, cohesive look using AI-assisted tools, we want to hear from you.
How This Works (Phased)
• *Phase 1 — Visual Development (THIS LISTING):** We send brand materials + a sample story. You develop the look — what does our animation style actually look and feel like? This is the visual development stage where we lock in the style.
Phase 2 — Pilot Episode ($25):** One full 30–60 sec animated piece. I deliver the audio, you animate around it. Storyboard through final render.
Phase 3 — Ongoing Series ($550/batch of 15 episodes):** If the pilot works, we move into regular production.
This is a social-first series, so the production model needs to be sustainable at scale — we have 135+ stories in the library and this is a long-term content play, not a one-off. The goal is to find the right animator to grow with us, and the investment grows with the series.
All episodes optimized for Instagram Reels/TikTok (9:16, 1080x1920).
