Horror Animation Video Creator Needed for YouTube Shorts – Animated Tales About the Channel I am building a YouTube Shorts channel called Animated Tales, focused on short horror, mystery, supernatural, paranormal, and unexplained stories. I am looking for a talented animator/video creator who can help transform horror story ideas and scripts into high-quality, engaging animated videos specifically designed for YouTube Shorts.

Animation Style I am open to different animation approaches, including: - 2D animation - 3D animation - AI-assisted animation - Motion graphics - Character-based animation - Cinematic illustrated animation The most important requirements are quality, consistency, storytelling, and viewer engagement.
