Looking for creative freelance animators that work alone & from scratch!
Hello!
I've been approached by a fantastic charity in Nottingham to produce four or five 2-3 minute animations about knife crime.
This is a non profit project that will be shown in schools around Nottinghamshire and hopefully the UK! It will be paid and you will also be able to proudly display it as work that you have done.
I am the director, producer and sound designer for this project and we are currently trying to source funding so that we can pay animators and the knife crime victims that we will interview.
I promise to never request insultingly low rates (trust me I've been there!) and would like to know how much people would charge for a 2-3 minute story driven animation. Funding for charitable projects like this is tight and I'd love to know in advance how much people usually charge.
If you are a senior full time animator I reccomend skipping this post as your rates may be too big for the budget!
If you are an animator that has their own style and think that this would be a cool project please get in touch!
About the project:
We will cut interviews into 2-3 minute stories (one animator for each). The stories will always consist of a situation involving a stabbing and the interviewer turning their life around. This will be the victim's real voice and also a video for reference if you wish to represent them correctly.
The animation will be describing what is being spoken, but it can be abstract, fun and creative. This will be for kids, it will need to be creative! Hence why I'm asking on here rather than a company! I know some of you may have a unique animation style that doesn't require months of planning and will be perfect for this project.
This project will finish around September time and possibly start in a month.
Please don't expect me to respond to anyone immediately for this reason, but please like or comment if you are interested!
All the best,
Ed

- Hi Edward,I hope this finds you well. This sounds like a fun project!I’d love to work on this project.

- Hello Ed,Am really interested in this project. My preferred style of animation which I think tonally would fit well to this project is atmospheric and textural lino printmaking. However I have animated five music video commissions with varying styles, so would be open to any other techniques.Here's my website if you want to have a look : https://www.hollyminajones.com/All the best,Holly
- Hi Ed!This project sounds like real really interesting!I am a graphic artist working with collage and mixed media. I have previous experience working as assistant in animation and I also do my own experiments with it.Currently studying after effects so that could be a great opportunity for practising in a professional way.My style, let’s say, it would be more abstract/collage/rotoscoping animation rather than traditional cartoonish like 2d.Please, have a look at my work and it will be a pleasure to discuss possibilities, fees and everything else with you.https://flaviafelipe.pb.gallery/https://www.instagram.com/flaflipe/flafelipedesign@gmail.comReally hoping to hear back from you!Have a great weekendCheersFlávia
