2D Animators - Protecting Kids Online!!

Season 1 consisted of 13 episodes, and Season 2 will feature up to 9 episodes, each running between 7-13 minutes.

• Work on a flexible schedule but commit to completing animations within the agreed timeframe for each episode.
• Bring creative input to the table, helping shape the visual style and approach for the animated content.

• Ability to translate scripts into compelling visuals that engage the audience and convey key themes.
• Careful attention to detail to ensure animations are polished and aligned with the audio content.
