Project Overview: I’m looking for a talented 2D animator or small creative studio to produce a short, humorous animated trailer (approx. 45–60 seconds) for Instagram Reels based on a real-life, satirical story I’ve developed called Lullabies from the Throne.
The concept? Years ago, I tried to get Prince Charles (now King Charles) to record a lullaby album for charity. I sent him a letter. Then a letter in a box. Then a box with 25 helium balloons. Eventually I got a very polite “please stop contacting us” from a royal assistant. That’s the story. And now it’s becoming a ridiculous, heartfelt animated trailer.
We’ve got the visuals and the script. Now we need someone to bring it all to life with animation, sound, voiceover, and proper comic timing.
⸻
Tone & Style: • Soft, storybook visuals with a surreal twist • Ricky Gervais meets Paddington meets The Crown, if The Crown had more balloons • Humour is dry, British, self-deprecating • Visual style is already defined: hand-drawn, pastel, charmingly lo-fi • A bit Wes Anderson, a bit Wallace & Gromit, a bit “what on earth is going on here?”
⸻
What I Need You to Do: • Animate an Instagram-friendly short film (45–60 seconds, 1080x1920 portrait) • Provide the voiceover (either you or a collaborator – think Olivia Colman, Bill Nighy, Richard Ayoade, or someone who sounds charmingly confused by the whole thing) • Add soft background music (harp, piano – lullaby vibes) • Add light sound effects (balloons, rustling letters, tea cups, optional corgi sounds) • Deliver a polished final MP4, ready to post to Instagram • Optional: TikTok teaser or 1080x1080 crop for square feed
⸻
What I Will Provide: • Finalised script • Cleaned illustration panels already designed in Instagram format • Movie-style poster for reference • Character descriptions, brand tone, and backstory • Any further comic input or storytelling support you need along the way
⸻
Voiceover Guidance: The voiceover needs to be delivered in a warm, slightly bemused British tone. Not over-the-top cartoon. More bedtime-meets-Radio 4. Dry humour. Pacing is everything. I’m happy to give feedback on voiceover samples or help guide the tone.
⸻
Budget: Flexible for the right person. This is a creative storytelling piece with potential for future animation commissions, so I want to get it right. Please quote based on full delivery including voiceover.
⸻
Deadline: Ideally within1 weeks of agreeing terms. Faster delivery is welcome if quality’s right.
