# Kids Animation Specialist | 2D Animation | Animated Storytelling Looking for an animator who can turn your script, story, or song into engaging animation for kids? Hi, I'm Dion — a 2D animator specializing in kids entertainment, educational content, and animated storytelling. With 5+ years of experience, I help turn ideas and scripts into engaging animated videos with expressive characters, clear visual storytelling, and a consistent visual style. I work with creators, studios, and content producers on projects such as kids YouTube videos, educational animation, animated stories, nursery rhymes, music videos, and episodic content. ## What I Can Help With • 2D Animation for Kids • Character Animation • Animated Storytelling • Educational Animation • Kids Songs & Nursery Rhymes • YouTube Kids Content • Animated Series & Episodic Content • Motion Graphics & Compositing ## From Storyboard to Final Animation I can support different stages of the production process, depending on what your project needs: Storyboarding — Turning scripts and ideas into clear visual sequences and shots. Character & Asset Preparation — Preparing characters and visual assets with animation in mind. 2D Character Animation — Creating expressive movement, acting, lip sync, and personality while keeping characters consistent from scene to scene. Motion Graphics & Compositing — Adding transitions, effects, camera movement, and final polish to bring everything together. ## My Approach For kids content, good animation is more than making things move. The visuals need to be easy to understand, the characters need to feel alive, and the pacing needs to keep young audiences interested. I start by understanding the story, target audience, visual style, and purpose of the project. From there, I focus on creating animation that supports the story while keeping the production practical and consistent. My goal is to make the animation engaging for kids and easy for the client to build into a larger content series. ## Tools & Workflow I primarily work with: • Adobe After Effects • Moho • Adobe Illustrator • Adobe Photoshop I use these tools for storyboarding, asset preparation, character rigs, 2D animation, motion graphics, compositing, and final delivery. ## Why Work With Me? I believe good collaboration starts with listening and understanding the client's vision. Whether you need a single animated video or are developing an ongoing kids series, I aim to be a reliable creative partner who can understand your direction, communicate clearly, and maintain visual consistency across the project. If you have a script, story, song, or animation idea you'd like to bring to life, I'd be happy to hear about it. Let's create something great for your audience.
