Game Animation for Social Media

Posted 3 months ago

Worldwide

Summary

I am developing an iPhone and Android game app and need a freelancer to create a game animation with comments for users to post their win to social media. The animation should be engaging and shareable, allowing users to easily post their achievements on platforms like Facebook and Instagram. The ideal candidate will have experience in animation and social media integration. T3XL is a mobile board game (iOS/Android, launching soon) that needs a personalized video sharing engine built. When a player wins a notable game, we generate a short animated replay video — their actual moves, a strategy annotation mid-game, and a personalised outro with a challenge link — and prompt them to share it. Videos are pre-rendered ahead of the win moment and produced at scale across our user base. We supply the game data as JSON; you build the system that turns it into a shareable MP4 in three aspect ratios. Remotion (React/TypeScript) is the preferred approach but we're open to alternatives with strong justification. Think of the Wordle posts but with light animation. Alongside the engine, we need core brand assets executed to a defined spec: app icon, hero logo, and a short logo build animation for use as a video intro/outro. The icon concept is fully designed — this is precision execution, not style exploration. Further down the road, the same party may produce two scripted videos (explainer and how-to-play, ~2:30 and ~4:00) with voiceover and sound design. All text in the video engine must be data-driven with no baked-in copy — language is a parameter at render time, with English first and French, German, and Japanese to follow. The ideal candidate has built programmatic or data-driven video before, is comfortable with motion design, and can handle both the engineering and the visual craft — or works with a close collaborator who covers the other half. Please share examples of data-driven or templated video work when reaching out.
