2D Animator/Editor Needed for Children's YouTube Series

I am developing a long-term animated YouTube series for children and am looking for a 2D character animator/video editor who can eventually work on regular 5–7 minute episodes.

Before starting full episodes, I would like to produce a 1-minute paid test scene using our actual characters and story.

I will provide:

Character designs/reference sheets
Written script and dialogues
Scene/background references
Story and character direction

The freelancer will create the complete 1-minute scene, including:

Character animation and expressions
Natural interaction between characters
Voice creation from the written dialogues
Lip-sync
Scene composition
Sound effects/ambience
Final editing

What is most important:
I am not looking for a collection of independently AI-generated clips.

The characters must remain consistent from shot to shot — face, hairstyle, clothes, proportions and overall appearance should not change.

The animation does not need to be 3D or highly cinematic. A clean, attractive and well-finished 2D / rigged / cut-out / limited-animation style is completely suitable.

AI-assisted tools are welcome where useful, but the final result should feel like one coherent animated production, not separate AI-generated shots.

Long-term opportunity
This is intended to become a recurring series with the same characters, locations and reusable assets.

If the 1-minute test works well, the next step will be a complete 5–7 minute episode, followed by regular episodes if the collaboration works.

I am therefore particularly interested in animators who can create reusable character rigs/assets and an efficient production workflow that becomes faster over time.
