Job Title: Flash Animator to work on Spec Company: Location: Los Angeles, CA Description: Hello We are a team of three, [Guild writer, VO artist, musician], looking to have an animator come on board our "pitch presentation", spec cartoon project. There is no pay at this point, but great potential with agent/manager to get this concept sold. We have elements in place: Domain name, script, VO tracked, opening jingle. The spec cartoon will be approx. 3 mins in length - with two characters, [think Hoops & Yoyo on Hallmark.com]. *With animation, we need basic editing in that the VO and/or opening jingle should match the movement on the characters' mouths. Again, Hoops & Yoyo is a perfect example of the "arena" we're envisioning. We would like to have the animation done by August 1st. It does not have to be overly involved. Again, this is being crafted to sell the "concept" - then develop it further with actual funding from a company. If you have any interest in getting involved with something that could turn into something bigger, we'd like to hear from you.
