Wild Westly Pilot [Animators Needed]
Project Overview
Hot-headed outlaw Wylie Westly and his gang of criminal misfits go on a journey across the land of Rostrum, narrowly avoiding arrest while thundering across grassland and desert to take on their greatest rivals in a bug-eat-bug world.
Hello everybody, we're back on the search for talented freelancers to join the ever-growing team working on Wild Westly! With storyboards wrapping up and going through revisions, we're about to start picking out and doing the animatic for shots for our trailer! We're nearing a safe point to launch a Kickstarter to fund production fully, but first, we must prove that we can do it!
We're looking for a handful of animators to join our team for this early stage of production who have time on their hands and a passion for bugs! ...And animation, of course, but the bug part is undoubtedly more important. Wild Westly is an epic frame-by-frame 2d show, so we're looking for animators with a knack for understanding 3-dimensionality in their work and experience with action!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ~~
Currently, we are offering $325 per week on the assumption that we are hiring freelancers who work between 6 and 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. If there are any talented animators willing to work for slightly less we would appreciate that, but by no means do we want to underpay anyone. We would appreciate an estimate from experience how much you can produce a week for the role you are applying for, this is crucial for putting together an early production timeline and estimating how much of our remaining budget needs to be allocated to the trailer's animation team.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION OVER~~
Best of luck to you all, and I look forward to reviewing your portfolios soon! If you are interested in learning more about Wild Westly and our current team, visit https://www.topazanimation.com/wildwestly! Be warned, the "characters" page isn't up and running quite yet, but everything else should be in order!
Good luck,
Winston S Lewis, Director of WW

Topaz Animation Studio is looking for animators for Wild Westly! Currently, we're just a couple of months away from being in a position to need animators for our pilot's trailer. We are looking for rough and cleanup animators. While we would prefer somebody capable of both, we are happy to receive separate applications for both roles or just one and not the other.
We are looking for people with existing animation experience who can mimic styles and are familiar with following storyboards and animation guides/bibles.
You will not be expected to work on the storyboards/animatics. As of writing this, the storyboards are complete and are going through revisions, and the animatic will be complete by the time we hire animators.
This role is looking for animators for our trailer specifically, not the full episode as of this moment. The trailer will likely be between 40 - 120 seconds. Please include within your application how many seconds of animation you realistically can produce in a week.
Animators who do not get these roles may later be considered for work when the full episode is in production.
- frame by frame animation
- toon boom harmony
- 2d animation
*Say something you think would fit*
