Hello,
My name is Darnell and I am a resent grad from sheridan college's animation program. I have produced and animated my fair share of animations, and have worked on shorts and television programs.
Here are links to my work:

I would like to show my interest in your project but have a few things to ask. Would I be the only animator working on the project, or will others be included as well. Although you want 2D animations, would you be opposed to programs such as Flash? Also, having worked in the field, the price for designing the characters and layouts would be added on top of the animation. Does your budget cover this?

Thanks for your time. I hope to hear from you soon.
