Map Animation Editor

Summary

Project Details: We are producing a short investor-facing video for a mining project located in Goiás, Brazil. The goal is to give investors a clear, compelling and sophisticated sense of the asset, its location, scale, and infrastructure, without narration or fluff. We are looking for a Map Animation Editor: This video is half map and globe animation and then integrating drone footage. There is no narration, no stock footage. What is needed for the video: Our goal is to have this be a very professional video that is clean and doesn’t even need sound, because the animations are telling the story of the property instead of narration. Imagine it looping on a screen in a conference room where people walk by and immediately understand what and where this project is without hearing a word. Below is a breakdown of the animations we need (We will provide all of the information and coordinates for all of these): The sequence opens on a globe or world map and zooms into South America → Brazil → the state of Goiás → the exact project location. This zoom should feel intentional and cinematic, not like a Google Maps drag. Think of how high-end real estate or private equity pitch videos establish location — it signals legitimacy before a single fact is stated. Once at the site, we need animated overlays placed directly onto real drone footage of the area and also over high-resolution maps: Overlay mining boundaries — mining right, total property, project footprint Animate route lines Fade in infrastructure Fade in electricity substation Fade in biomass/fuel supply sources Fade in competitor locations Add callout labels for key site features (mining area, buffer zones, roads, neighbors) Style of Video: The style should be sophisticated and data-driven overlaying lines and labels animating onto a real map, not illustrated or cartoon. If you've done work for investment firms, mining companies, energy projects, or high-end real estate, that's the style we're going for. Example of video style: Here are 3 videos to reference how we like the outline of the boundaries (in our instance, it is not countries but property boundaries), we like the callouts with the small dot, then the callout of the location name. We like how they call out and draw the distances. The simple highlighting rather than the underlaid images/flags is not necessary. We also like the terrain style map over say a google map or apple maps look/feel. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/OmIMfDTDlYo https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kqi8pTreIhk https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Ky8hiDd6nko Your role: You own this project end to end; we are looking for a partner/quarterback, someone who can help own the creation and quality of the final video, including the combining of drone footage and map animation.
