You might as well look up youtube pivoters since they focus more on quantity.
Thanks for your advice :D

i'd recommend a few flash forums, such as Stickpage.com or Hyuns dojo if you want higher quality work :)
good luck with that project man ;o
I'm struggling as I know very little about animation :D I tried going through traditional freelance channels but outside of a AAA 3D animation, I didn't have any luck - and even that was priced in the $1000s. When searching through YouTube for a style I wanted I came across

I was quoted $5500 for a 3 minute video in Death Battle style. After I got up off the floor and re-attached my jaw, I came across Pivot :D
What I'm after is a detailed, funny and action-filled animation that can be split into segments of roughly 10-15 seconds a piece. I've got a few general ideas for the approach but that's about it. All 3 of the styles above fit perfectly and can be high quality in their own right, but I'm not really sure what kind of animator I'm after. Would a cartoonized action/story sequence be better suited to flash or?
Thanks for taking the time to respond :D

Seems I'll have to keep looking :D Pivot seemed a good choice as there's some great videos out there and after spending an hour or two myself, I figured an experienced creator could do the task in a rather short time frame. Seems I was way off as I wouldn't have imagined it taking that long.
Thanks again guys. Very welcoming and friendly community, an increasingly rare quality :D
