Need animator partner

Hello, I have a hilarious children’s story that is tailor-made for an animated series! I am looking to partner with someone…I have the stories, I need an animator than can help me turn it into a webtoon or animated series…
With delightful characters, imaginative settings, and humor that appeals to both kids and adults, this story is a winning blend of wit and charm that is sure to enchant viewers of all ages.
I believe this story has the potential to be the next hit animated series, captivating audiences worldwide with its charm and entertainment value. I would love to discuss how we can collaborate to bring this delightful tale to life on screen.

Imagine a world where magic meets silliness in a funny fantasy tale that will captivate young readers. ‘The Tailor’s Apprentice: Simon and the Seven Monsters’ is a delightful story filled with whimsy and humor, perfect for children who love ‘The Worst Witch’ and the magical elements of ‘Harry Potter.’
This whimsical and imaginative story is a must-have for any animation studio looking to bring a touch of magic and laughter to young audiences.

Feel free to check out my website (and ratings), at https://www.kal-locksley.com/

I look forward to hearing from you.
Kindest regards,

Hi there Kal !

Hope you don’t mind me giving a few advice…
Animation is pretty much involved and to produce something of standard quality you’ll need a bunch of people all with their specific talents, needless to say that it will take quite an amount of money/time. Just for the sound you might need several people like voice actors, sound designer and musician.
You might find someone being able to do all that, but at some point it will feel cheap compared to a team of specialists especially if you expect them to work in their free time on top of everything.

But you have a few options still, the first thing would be to find an illustrator or comic book artist, that can bring the visual style and the characters to life. It might be better to look for some artists that you like and see if they might be interested, rather than asking here where you’ll have less chances to find someone appropriate.

Once the visual universe and stories are well established you can decide if you want to do a comic or an animated series. It’s really two very different ways of working. You can make a comic with very few people, that can be a partnership between you and the illustrator. And it’s probably the best option if you want most control over the output.

If you really want to go the animation road then you’ll need to find a producer that will make the project append. Their role is to find money to make the project, find the team and give them some place to work.
Unless creators have already a strong experience in animation they generally aren’t that much involved in the fabrication of the series. The producer will buy you the rights for the project, they might consult you on a few occasions but you’ll have very little to say about the outcome. This is because there are so many people involved on top of financial, technical and strategic constraints that in the end no-one really owns the project anymore. Sometimes it’s for the best as the team in charge is generally full of talented people that will bring a lot of interesting ideas and do their best given all the constraints, but it’s also a bit frustrating because everyone has to let go some part of their vision of the project
which as a result might feel a bit artificial for that reason.

In any case , starting with a comics will help to establish the universe and eventually if it’s adapted as a series it leaves less room for interpretation as it needs to follow the comic to some extent.

Hope that helps and feel free to ask if you have further questions.
