2D Illustrator-Animator Wanted

I’m building a series of lively, cartoon-style human characters and need a partner who can take them from clean vector art in Adobe Illustrator straight into smooth, expressive animation inside Adobe After Effects. The core of the job is character illustrating using an existing styled - minimal corporate style with slightly exaggerated features and animation - no backgrounds, we are illustrating our characters into a real world footage. Here’s how we’ll work: I’ll brief you scene by scene, share references, and you’ll create the Illustrator rig (properly layered and labelled) before animating it at 1080p/24 fps in After Effects. We’ll collaborate over an hourly arrangement, so clear communication and reliable time tracking matter as much as artistic skill. Final hand-off for every mini-milestone includes the organised .ai and .aep files plus rendered previews for quick review. If you’re 100 % comfortable jumping between Illustrator’s pen tool and After Effects’ puppet pins, can keep to a consistent cartoon look, and enjoy iterating together in real time, let’s talk.
