Twitter is a great platform to find talented and experienced animators who are looking for work. There are a number of hashtags you can use to target animators, such as #animationjobs, #animatorswanted, and #animatorforhire.

Your script should be driven by the characters and their conflict, not by the action or description. Every scene should have a purpose and advance the story. If you find yourself with too much action...
