2D Animation Artist Intern — Frame-by-Frame | Remote

Mostly Animated is a 2D animation studio working on an original animation project. We are looking for 2 Animation Artist Interns who are interested in traditional hand-drawn, frame-by-frame 2D animation and want to build their portfolio through real production experience.

Internship Details

  • Position: 2D Animation Artist Intern
  • Duration: 3 months
  • Location: Remote
  • Stipend: ₹1000/month ( One Thousand Rupees per Month )
  • Work: Hand-drawn, frame-by-frame 2D animation
  • Team: You will work as part of a small animation team alongside another animator and an Animation Lead

What You'll Work On

  • Frame-by-frame character animation
  • Rough animation and in-betweening
  • Character movement and acting
  • Basic cleanup
  • Following animation references and direction
  • Working on assigned shots from an original animation project
  • Taking feedback and making revisions

You will NOT be expected to create the entire film yourself. The project will be divided between multiple team members, with individual shots assigned according to skill level and progress.

Who We're Looking For

This internship is particularly suitable for animation students, recent graduates, and emerging artists who want to build their portfolio through real production experience.

You should:

  • Have basic drawing and character-drawing skills
  • Understand the fundamentals of 2D animation
  • Be interested in hand-drawn/frame-by-frame animation
  • Be willing to learn and improve through feedback
  • Be able to work consistently and meet assigned deadlines
  • Have a genuine interest in traditional 2D animation

Previous professional experience is not required.

Important

This is a team-based internship, not a freelance/project-based position.

You will work on assigned shots, not the entire animation independently. The goal is to give emerging animators practical production experience while building a finished original project.

Applicants looking to independently produce the complete animation should not apply.

What You Get

  • ₹1000/month stipend (One Thousand Rupees per Month)
  • Real production experience
  • Opportunity to contribute to an original animated project
  • Portfolio/showreel material
  • Feedback and mentorship
  • Certificate upon successful completion

How to Apply

Please apply with:

  • A short introduction
  • Any animation work you've created
  • Portfolio/showreel, if available — not mandatory
  • Your availability during the 3-month internship
  • The software you currently use for 2D animation

Students and beginners are welcome to apply. We're more interested in your drawing ability, willingness to learn, and interest in frame-by-frame animation than professional experience.

Pay: ₹1,000.00 per month

Benefits:

  • Flexible schedule
  • Work from home

Work Location: Remote
