2D Animator – Lullaby Musical Series

Job Opening: 2D Animator Freelancer (Lullaby Musical Series | Work-for-Hire | Remote Work | Freelance)

About Giramille

Giramille is a children's content production company. We create original series, short films, songs, and movies, always focused on family values, education, and faith, bringing joy and tenderness to families.

About the Project

Giramille is starting production on a new Lullaby Musical Series, inspired by magical universes such as Disney Lullabies, Cocomelon Sleep Songs, and Little Baby Bum.

Our goal is to create 28 musical short films (around 5 minutes each) featuring Giramille's original characters in soft, cozy, and magical environments such as rocking cradles, gently turning carousels, mobiles above the crib, smiling moons, shining stars, baby bottles, and much more, always with the purpose of soothing babies and small children to sleep.

Each episode will be based on 28 original Giramille songs, already available in their Lullaby versions.

We will provide the animator with:

• All character rigs ready to use (Toon Boom Harmony or Adobe Animate)

• Backgrounds, animations, and assets from the original musical shorts that can be reused and adapted

• Animated English subtitles from the original episodes

• Visual references and artistic direction materials to ensure style consistency

The animator's mission is to adapt, create, and reimagine our existing assets for the new Lullaby universe, maintaining Giramille's visual and emotional DNA, but with an even calmer, more musical, and poetic atmosphere.

Style References

Watch the examples below to understand the visual and musical style we are looking for.

Note: We expect a higher quality level than these references, aligned with the magical aesthetic of the Giramille universe.
