Creative 2D Animator Needed for Short-Form Motion Content

Posted 3 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

We’re looking for a skilled 2D animator who can bring ideas to life through smooth, modern, and engaging motion graphics. The work will mainly involve creating short-form animations for promotional content, social media ads, and branded videos that feel dynamic, visually appealing, and attention-grabbing. You’ll be working on animating text, graphics, and simple scenes, adding clean transitions and motion effects, and syncing visuals with music or voiceovers when needed. Final outputs should be properly optimized for different social media platforms. As part of the selection process, there will be a short test task. You’ll be given a simple script along with basic design elements, and your task will be to create a 10–15 second animation. The focus will be on smooth motion, clean typography animation, timing, and overall visual flow rather than heavy effects or complex 3D work. Ideal candidates should have experience in motion graphics, social media ads, explainer videos, or typography animation, and should be comfortable using tools like Adobe After Effects, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, or similar software.
