AI Engineer / Full-Stack Dev to Build a 2D Animation Production Tool (Script → Storyboard → After Effects, Agent-Driven) Overview I run an animated video studio producing character-driven 2D explainer videos (reference style: youtube.com/@eng_universelabz : clean 2D characters, expressive faces, illustrated backgrounds, rigged/skeletal motion). Right now the pipeline from voiceover script → finished animation is manual and slow. I want to build an AI-assisted workflow tool that automates the early creative + asset stages and assists with the After Effects rigging step, wrapped in a simple UI my team can use for reviews and revisions. I'm looking for someone who can architect this end-to-end using agent frameworks (I've been experimenting with Codex and Hermes, but I'm open to whatever stack you think fits best — you tell me). What the tool should do Pre-production (agent-driven): 1. I paste in a voiceover script. 2. The system analyzes it and generates an animation concept + mood board — character designs, backgrounds, expressions, accessories, color direction — broken down scene by scene. 3. My team reviews and approves/edits each element in the UI. 4. On approval, it generates the actual image assets (characters, backgrounds, props) consistent with the approved mood board. Production hand-off: 5. Another agent/module imports the approved assets into After Effects, organized into comps ready for animation. Stretch goal (big plus): We use an After Effects plugin to create a 2
