FAQs

When writing a project brief for a 2D animator, be sure to include details about the animation style you’re looking for, the duration of the animation, and any specific characters or elements you want included. Additionally, outline the timeline for project milestones and the final deadline for completion. Providing reference links or examples of styles you prefer can also be valuable.
To effectively communicate your vision, use clear and concise language and, where possible, incorporate visual aids such as storyboards or mood boards. Regularly scheduled check-ins and updates can also help ensure both you and the freelancer are aligned throughout the project. Providing feedback on sample animations or drafts will help refine the final product to meet your expectations.
Key deliverables to specify include the final animation file format (e.g., MP4, GIF, etc.), resolution quality, and any associated assets such as character designs or backgrounds. Be clear about the stages of approval, such as storyboarding and animatic phases, to ensure a smooth workflow and to track progress against expectations.
