What is a Freelance Animator?

A Freelance Animator is a digital artist who uses animation to tell a story or provide information. They produce images that appear to ‘come to life’ on screen. Freelance Animators can specialise in different types of animation, such as two-dimensional (2-D) or three-dimensional (3-D) structures and graphics.

A Freelance Animator typically works within a larger creative team to make certain elements of a campaign or project more dynamic. They work in various industries, including but not limited to film, computer or video games, social media and advertising.

Why hire a Freelance Animator?

With the rise of TikTok and YouTube Shorts, Short-form video content is rapidly becoming one of the more popular forms of content production and one of the most effective forms of marketing. And Freelance Animators bring a lot of value to this part of the industry. 

They have a very specialised skill set that is not easily replicated. You can’t ask an intern to dabble in animation and expect the same result. Freelance Animators are incredibly innovative professionals and can bring a lot of value to your marketing and creative teams. Their skills have been built up over time and can be utilised in loads of different ways.  

Depending on your business and marketing needs, you can bring in a Freelance Animator to work with an internal team or in collaboration with other freelance creatives. Hiring a Freelance Animator will allow you to bring in highly specialised talent, on a project-by-project basis. 

What does a Freelance Animator do?

Freelance Animators typically specialise in different types of animation. The four most common are 2-D computer animation, 2-D drawn animation, stop-motion animation, and 3-D computer generated (CG) animation. Typically, animators will create frames or images for different moments of movement. When their animations are played at full speed, they simulate movement. These animations can act as a stand alone campaign or they can supplement larger marketing or business campaigns.
