FAQs

The project brief should clearly outline the scope of the animation project, including the target audience, style preferences, deadline, and any specific animation requirements or assets that need to be included. Providing reference materials, such as style guides or inspirational videos, can help convey your vision more effectively to potential animators.
Review the animator’s portfolio to assess the quality and creativity of their past work. Look for animations that align with your project's style and complexity. Additionally, check for client testimonials or reviews on their Contra profile to gain insights into their work ethic, reliability, and ability to deliver engaging animations on time.
Before starting, confirm key deliverables such as the storyboard, character designs, draft animations, the final animated piece, and any necessary revisions. Ensure there’s a mutual understanding of the format, resolution, and any specific technical requirements for the animations. Setting clear milestone deadlines can help keep the project on track.
