Hi! I'm an independent writer and creator from Brazil looking for a 2D animator to collaborate on Operation Parallax, an original sci-fi animated series combining cyberpunk, humor, social satire, and philosophical themes.


The first season is already written, and the project includes scripts, characters, storyboards, and visual references.


I'd like to start by producing the first episode, approximately 10 minutes long, or a shorter version depending on what's feasible for the collaboration.


I'm looking for someone interested in bringing the story to life, with room for creative input and artistic collaboration.


This is initially an unpaid collaboration, open to beginners, students, and independent animators, with proper credits and recognition.


If you're interested, feel free to message me. I'd be happy to share more details!

With a sci-fi animated series, establishing a consistent visual style early can save a lot of work later. Since you already have storyboards and character designs, a 30–60 second test sequence could help define the animation style, character movement, and production workflow before committing to a full episode.

It would also give potential collaborators a much clearer idea of what's involved. Have you considered starting with a test sequence?

Since this is my first project, I hadn't thought about that. Thank you so much for the helpful advice!

Do you think I could get a reasonable result using Google Flow (Veo), for the 30-60 sec, just to give potential animators a better idea of what I have in mind?

Hi Eduardo,

Veo could work well for showing the mood and visual direction of your project. I'd also suggest putting together a simple animatic from your storyboards.

That way, potential animators can see not just what you're imagining, but what the actual work involves. Especially for an unpaid collaboration, realistic expectations make a big difference.

Eduardo, motivation can fade quickly on unpaid projects. Even when people are paid, keeping a production on track can be challenging. Have you considered funding at least one short episode yourself to get the project off the ground?
