Looking to have Specific Demos Made

Ok, I've been thinking about this for a long time. I'm spending an inordinate amount of time learning how to do things in game salad. Let's face it I love it. I find all of this extremely stimulating and rewarding. I've gone through tons of YouTube videos, great stuff from “Jamie Cross” to “tshirtbooth”, I've pulled apart templets from “gshelper” and “deepblueapps” and others. I've posted and asked questions on this forum collected bookmarks of posts and comments from “Socks” to “RThurman” . But I'm no closer to getting a game out than when I started.
I admit it, as much as I love it, programming is not my forte. I draw, I fill notebooks with drawings, I do character design, I love bringing my drawings into animations, combining motion graphics. And the idea of dropping them into games and making them interactive is a kick. I’m ready to spend my time on what I do best.
So I'm making the jump. I’m looking for a programmer/programmers and I am willing to pay. I'm setup with paypal and would prefer using that method. I'm not looking for a full game to be made, I'm looking more for demos of particular mechanicals. I would like to be able to drop my animations into my GSViewer (thats already setup on my iPad) for demonstration purposes. A portfolio if you will. I have gone through the provisioning and certificates, etc.I have clear drawings with outlines of what i’m after. I’m savvy enough to drop my own graphics in but I wouldn’t mind a note or two on what’s happening in the logic. So if this sounds like something you are interested in, if you think you can help me out, please personal message me.

@Socks One Side walking crab, you want fries with that?
I'm guessing the game your trying to make is a complex one? My 1st game was a simple click to destroy...what I'm saying is start small smaller than small and build up slowly.
There's lots of info out there but its important to walk before you run and take it at your own pace, I can imagine you've followed lots of tutorials and templates and I think this might be a case of trying to absorb too much information too quickly.
My latest tutorial might be a good start for you as I take it slow and presume your a beginner.

Let me know if you try it and more importantly if you can follow along and understand it as I'd like to do more beginner tutorials if there of any value.
@DeepBlueApps Thanks Darren. No, I'm not so much interested in developing a game right now as I am being able to have the ability to drop animations into an interactive portfolio. That I can keep on my GSViewer on my iPad. That would give me the ability to demo my animation work for those that might be interested. I probably will go through your tutorial as they are some of the best.
Consider contacting @gingagaming, he's good and does a lot of contract work.
