After Effects Animator: Rebuild 30 Documentary Graphics in Vox / Johnny Harris Style

We're Digifé, a Chicago-based documentary production company in post-production on a film about Douglass High School. We've built 30 motion graphics in After Effects and need an experienced motion designer to take each one to a significantly higher level of polish. These are working versions. The storytelling, timing, and content are locked. Your job is elevating the craft: texture, depth, camera movement, typography, and transitions. THE WORK 30 graphics, each 5-15 seconds The mix: 4 newspaper articles, 6 maps, 3 archival documents, and 17 highlight/callout animations We've built a simple version of every graphic. Content, timing, and story beats are locked. You'll use our versions as reference and rebuild each one at a much higher level of craft We provide all assets and reference videos for every graphic (note: our After Effects project files are not part of the handoff, so you'll build in your own project) Watch our current versions here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/1xo3q858av0e7d3fsdcr8/AHGv3mWy6Nc_uHRT-sKQdGc?rlkey=nljyg7zs5vz124xap7xvmcz8s&st=0sc965ml&dl=0 THE STYLE Think Johnny Harris or Vox: textured, dimensional maps with purposeful camera moves; tactile paper and archival treatments; clean kinetic typography; motion that serves the story rather than decorating it. If your reel has this look, we want to see it.
