Summary

I'm looking for a talented stick figure animator to create long-form educational videos for my ADHD-focused YouTube channel. This is an ongoing collaboration with potential for a long-term partnership if the first videos perform well. About the channel: Educational and relatable content about ADHD – covering topics like focus strategies, executive dysfunction, productivity systems, emotional regulation, and daily life with ADHD. The tone is warm, empathetic, and slightly humorous – never clinical or preachy. The project: Long-form YouTube videos, 8–10 minutes each Clean, minimalist stick figure animation style (think Sketchplanations, RSA Animate, or Kurzgesagt-light) Smooth, expressive character movements that bring scripts to life Simple visual metaphors to explain ADHD concepts (e.g., the "brain on fire", "task paralysis", "dopamine chase") Consistent recurring main character throughout all videos Clean typography for key terms and quotes Optional: light color accents to keep videos visually engaging without distracting What I provide: Finished script with clear scene breakdowns Voiceover audio (final, timed) Style references and brand colors Feedback rounds at storyboard + draft stage What you deliver: Full animated video in 1920x1080 (Full HD), MP4, 16:9 Source files (After Effects, Animate, or whatever you use) 1–2 revision rounds included Requirements: Strong portfolio of stick figure / explainer animation (please share links) Ability to animate characters expressively – not just static figures with mouth movement Reliable communication and consistent delivery schedule Experience with YouTube content is a big plus Nice to have: Sound design / SFX skills (or recommendations for a partner) Understanding of or interest in ADHD / mental health topics Ability to suggest visual ideas the script didn't specify What I need from you when applying: Portfolio links – especially stick figure or explainer work Price per 8–10 minute video (and any volume discount for ongoing work) Turnaround time per video Software you use A short note on why this project interests you Volume: Starting with 2–4 videos to test the collaboration. If it goes well, I'm looking for 2–4 videos per month on an ongoing basis. Looking forward to working with you!
