I have a guy on freelancer.com that is doing my art for me for my iphone game. Well, I need a 3d character similar to temple run (but does a bunch of other stuff) for my game. I know this guy is really good at 2d and 3d animation, but whenever i try to explain what i need, he says things like, “thats cool, could you please show me the game, that way it would be easier for me to make your video.” Im just a little nervous that he doesnt understand what i need. I need a character with several short animation loops, not a ‘video’. The guy is also from india, so I think is english is kind of bad and he may not fully understand me. What can i say in terminology to get him to understand what i need. Im pretty sure what im looking for is a ‘sprite’? but what is this, can someone just please give me some terms to explain my project.

The terminology you could be looking for might be “sprite”, like in the game “Donkey Kong” where pre-rendered 3D animations are converted to 2D animations.
