[Hiring] 2D Animator/Director for anime themed music video

Hi, I am currently searching for a good animator/director for an anime styled music video. I say animator/director specifically as I am looking for someone who can build a unique creative direction as well as animate for the music as needed. My budget is somewhat open but independently funded (I will list it 1000+ USD for the purposes of this post).

The time frame does not have to be super prompt as quality definitely matters but we can speak more on that later. This will be my 1st time hiring for a project of this size so I am also open to pointers.

Feel free to comment me portfolios &/or examples of your work and I will get back to you accordingly. if you would like to PM instead please comment "PM" in this thread for verification purposes otherwise you will be ignored.

And while I may not hire you for this project I am definitely looking to build for things down the line.

Hope to hear from some of you talented folks soon!
