Hi! Your idea for your cousin's video sounds like a really great project.I recently created a similar video for a wedding, introducing pictures of the bride and groom...
I have been drawing characters since I was in grade school. I am basically a cartoon junkie. I have a full collection of my own creations but I will bring your vision to life as well. I'll get the job done right. If you like cartoons from the 90's, then I'm your man.
Although I'm brand new to the FREELANCER website, I have been doing freelance work for years. When you work with my studio your project gets personal attention and doesn't get treated as a side project. I will customize the work to fit your vision, and you wont get a cookie-cutter approach.
I start off by doing rough sketches for your approval or for any changes you want. Once we settle on the right look, I then import those sketches into adobe flash to be inked and animated. One minute animation typically takes me about on week to produce depending on the amount of detail required. Take a look at my demo reel to get and idea of what you'll be getting.
I would be happy to discuss this project with you and provide some more sample work.
Good Luck!
