2D Character Animator – Concert Visuals

This role is for a skilled 2D character animator to develop custom animated visuals for live bass and dubstep music performances. The project involves creating ten seamless looping animations, each 15–30 seconds in duration, designed for LED walls and stage screens to accompany a 60-minute set. Additionally, the animator will produce one or two animated logo stingers for the show’s opening and closing moments. The visual style should feature original characters and environments with bold inked lines, exaggerated punk-comic character design, gritty urban energy, and saturated colors, drawing inspiration from Gorillaz and Jamie Hewlett while ensuring all content is original. Early concept art and styleframes are required by early November 2026, with final deliverables due in the first week of December 2026. All visuals must be delivered as clean-looping H.264 MP4 files at a minimum resolution of 1920x1080, with full buyout rights for live event use.
