About Little Ocean Tales
Little Ocean Tales is a brand-new animated children's YouTube series designed for preschool and early elementary audiences.
The series follows a young boy named Ocean, who lives on a beautiful farmstead with his family and animal friends. In every episode, Ocean discovers a magical object that transports everyone into a new educational adventure where they learn important life lessons through kindness, curiosity, teamwork, imagination, and exploration.
This is not a one-time project. My goal is to build a long-term partnership with someone who can help produce future episodes while maintaining the same high-quality visual style, storytelling, and character consistency.
PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING:
This is NOT a standard video editing position.
I am NOT looking for someone who simply edits videos.
I am looking for someone who can take my completed scripts, storyboards, and creative direction and produce a polished children's episode from start to finish using AI tools.
THE MOST IMPORTANT REQUIREMENT
Character consistency is EVERYTHING.
My characters have already been designed.
I am NOT looking for someone to redesign or reinterpret my characters.
I need someone who can faithfully recreate the exact same characters throughout every scene and every future episode while maintaining the established illustration style.
Applicants who can demonstrate consistent AI-generated characters across multiple scenes or episodes will be given priority consideration.
If you struggle with maintaining consistent AI characters, this position is not the right fit.
Responsibilities
Using my completed production package, you will:
Recreate my existing characters while maintaining their appearance throughout every scene and future episode.
Generate AI illustrations that match the established Little Ocean Tales art style.
Animate those illustrations using AI tools such as Kling AI, Google Flow, Veo, Runway, Pika, or similar platforms.
Add narration, character voices, background music, and sound effects.
Edit the final episode using CapCut (or similar software).
Deliver polished 3–5 minute YouTube episodes that are engaging, educational, and appropriate for preschool and early elementary audiences.
Follow my scripts, storyboards, scene-by-scene prompts, and creative direction closely.
What I Will Provide
You will NOT be creating the story from scratch.
I will provide:
Complete scripts
Storyboards
Scene-by-scene prompts
Character reference images
Creative direction
Theme song
Ongoing feedback throughout production
Your role is to faithfully bring Little Ocean Tales to life while maintaining the established style and quality of the brand.
Preferred Skills
Please apply only if you have professional experience with most of the following and already have access to the tools required to perform this work.
AI image generation (Nano Banana, ChatGPT Images, Midjourney, Flux, or similar)
AI video generation (Kling AI, Google Flow, Veo, Runway, Pika, or similar)
AI voice generation (ElevenLabs or similar)
Video editing (CapCut or similar)

Storytelling and pacing
Creating consistent AI characters across multiple scenes
???? Required AI Tools & Software

This includes, but is not limited to:
AI image generation tools
AI video generation tools
AI voice generation tools
Video editing software
Music and sound effect resources
Little Ocean Tales does not provide AI software subscriptions, production tool licenses, or paid access to AI platforms. Applicants should factor the cost of their AI tools, software, and subscriptions into their hourly rate or pricing.
By applying for this position, you acknowledge that you already have the tools, software, and subscriptions necessary to complete this project using your own professional workflow.
What I'm Looking For
The most important qualities for this role are:
. Character consistency
. Ability to closely follow an established art style
. Storytelling and pacing appropriate for young children
. Attention to detail
. Strong communication
. Reliability
. Quality, storytelling, and character consistency are far more important than flashy AI visuals.
Trial Project
Finalists will complete a small paid trial project before a long-term production partner is selected.
The paid trial will evaluate:
Character consistency
Ability to follow storyboards
Storytelling
Animation quality
Voice integration
Editing
Overall attention to detail
To Apply
1. Tell me about your workflow.
How do you maintain consistent AI-generated characters across multiple scenes and future episodes while minimizing unnecessary revisions?
2. Portfolio

I am specifically looking for examples that demonstrate:

AI-generated animated series
Consistent AI characters across multiple scenes
Story-driven YouTube videos
Character consistency from beginning to end
Please DO NOT send generic AI commercials, advertisements, talking avatars, product videos, or unrelated demo reels unless they specifically demonstrate character consistency and storytelling.
If you do not have children's content, please send the project that best demonstrates your ability to maintain the same AI-generated character throughout an entire story or multiple scenes.
3. AI Tools
Please list the AI tools you personally use for:
Image generation
Animation
Voice generation
Video editing
Sound effects
Music
4. Turnaround Time
Approximately how long would it take you to complete one polished 3–5 minute children's episode?
5. Paid Trial
Please confirm that you are willing to complete a small paid trial project before a long-term production partner is selected.
BONUS (Highly Preferred)
If you have experience creating recurring AI characters that remain visually consistent across multiple episodes or an entire series, please include those examples first.
This is the single most important skill for this position.
Attention to Detail
At the end of your application, please include the phrase:
"Adventure Starts Today."
Applications that do not include this phrase may not be considered.
Long-Term Opportunity
I am looking for someone who wants to become a long-term creative partner for the Little Ocean Tales series—not just complete a single project.
If you're passionate about storytelling, AI production, and creating engaging children's content while maintaining exceptional quality and consistency, I'd love to hear from you.
