I’m seeking an experienced Toon Boom Harmony animator to help bring my first 2D animated pilot episode to life. The project will begin with a short 30-second animated scene from the pilot episode to establish the visual style, emotional tone, character movement, and overall world-building before moving into full episode production. The series is centered around warm, emotionally intelligent storytelling with a cinematic yet playful visual style. The animation should feel expressive, natural, and grounded in believable character performances, with soft humour, charming interactions, and appealing movement suitable for both children and families. Strong attention to simple facial expressions, body language, timing, and subtle acting is important. Key Requirements: * Rigging of 3 main characters in Toon Boom Harmony (with additional characters to follow) * Animation of an initial 30-second pilot sequence * Ability to work from partially completed character designs and visual references * Delivery of all source/project files upon completion * Collaborative approach to refining movement, expressions, and overall tone Ideal Skills: * Advanced proficiency in Toon Boom Harmony * Strong experience in high-quality 2D character animation and rigging * Ability to create expressive, emotionally engaging performances * Experience working on children’s animation, narrative storytelling, or broadcast-style productions * Understanding of cinematic staging, pacing, and appealing character motion Please share your portfolio, examples of relevant work, and any experience with character-driven animated storytelling. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi, I see you need an experienced Toon Boom Harmony animator to bring your first 2D animated pilot episode to life — from roughs to clean lines, color, and camera moves, all in a professional production pipeline. We have 8+ years of experience in Toon Boom Harmony animation for TV pilots and short films (cut‑out and traditional hybrid workflows, rigging, and scene planning). To achieve better results, I suggest a "animatic‑lock before production" rule — we'll start by converting your storyboard into a timed animatic (with your voice or temp audio) in Harmony's camera view. I'll add basic exposure sheets and peg movements. Only after you approve the animatic (pacing, cuts, and character entrances/exits) will I move to clean vector drawing, rigging, and final color. This catches timing issues before hundreds of drawings are done. We're available to start right away and can deliver before your timeline. Share your pilot script, storyboard (or rough sketches), character designs, and any reference audio (dialogue/music). We'll deliver Harmony project files + exported MP4 (1080p) with color and final camera moves. Check our portfolio: https://www.freelancer.com/u/mahadhasan012 Thanks, PIXORA STUDIO

Greetings, Your pilot concept has a strong foundation for character-driven animation because it prioritizes emotional performance, subtle acting, and a warm cinematic tone rather than fast, exaggerated motion. That is exactly the kind of project where Toon Boom Harmony’s rigging and cut-out workflow can really shine when handled carefully. I can support both the rigging of your three main characters and the animation of your initial 30-second proof sequence, focusing on expressive facial control, natural body mechanics, and clear acting beats that establish personality and tone immediately. Since you already have partial character designs and visual references, the workflow can stay tightly aligned with your intended style from the start rather than requiring heavy redesign or reinterpretation. The goal of the 30-second sequence will be to clearly define animation standards for the full pilot, including movement language, timing rhythm, emotional tone, and staging approach so future episodes remain consistent and production-ready. All Toon Boom Harmony project files will be delivered in an organized structure for easy continuation and scaling. Send me a message

Hello, I am a Toon Boom Harmony specialist with a strong focus on advanced rigging (deformers, master sliders, replacement animation) and fluid character animation for emotional, playfully cinematic stories. I will build production‑ready rigs for your three main characters, designed for easy facial expression changes and natural limb movement, then animate the 30‑second pilot sequence to capture the warm, charming, and grounded tone you described. I will ensure all source files are cleanly organised, including palettes, node views, and exposure sheets, ready for full episode production. I have experience on award‑winning animated shorts and family series, with a reel that demonstrates soft humour, appealing character motion, and subtle acting. I will provide a rough animatic for your approval before moving to final clean animation. Best regards.

The animation will be designed to feel cinematic yet playful, aligned with warm family-oriented storytelling. I’ll deliver full Harmony project files, including rig systems and scene assets for future episodes. Quick question — do you want the animation style closer to limited TV animation or more fluid, feature-inspired movement? Portfolio: https://www.freelancer.pk/u/salahuddin1973 Naufal
