Online 2D Character Animation tutor required in Minneapolis
Project Overview: We are developing a online learning content for a non-profit organization.I am developing a 3-minute educational animation focused on children’s personality development. I have a firm storyboard and am using a specific technical pipeline. I am looking for a hands-on tutor to help me optimize my workflow and troubleshoot specific technical hurdles to meet a June 14th demo milestone.Specific Skills Required Cartoon Animator 5 (CTA5): Expertise in G3 character rigging, 360 head creation, and utilizing Smart IK for fluid motion. Character Creator 5 & Headshot 2.0: Experience in generating characters and preparing them specifically for a CTA5 pipeline. DaVinci Resolve (Fusion): High proficiency in compositing 2D exports, color grading for animation, and managing transparent layers/VFX.What I Need Help With Rigging & Assets: Ensuring my custom characters (created via Headshot 2.0) are correctly rigged for 2D bone animation without distortion. Performance: Mastering facial expressions and lip-syncing that feel natural for educational storytelling. Compositing: Finalizing the "look and feel" in DaVinci Resolve, including background integration and smooth transitions. Workflow Efficiency: Streamlining the hand-off between these tools to meet a tight deadline.Ideal CandidateYou should be a practitioner who has completed end-to-end projects using the Reallusion ecosystem. I am not using iClone for this project, so the focus remains strictly on CC5 → CTA5 → Resolve.Project Timeline Current Status: Storyboarding complete / Tech stack finalized. Goal: 2-minute demo ready by June 14th. Engagement: Hourly tutoring/consultation via Zoom or Google Meet.
