Motion designer for vertical AI workflow videos (After Effects)

Posted 2 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

We need a video editor and motion designer to rebuild one vertical explainer so it has the polish of a reference film, using our own footage, branding, voice, and workflow. Rate: $5 to $10 USD per hour. First step is a paid test, not the full film: 20 to 30 seconds, capped at $20. The test runs from a full workflow map, into one module, into an animated interface, then back to the workflow. We hire for the full film only after that test is approved. Do not start the full film in this contract. Reference to match or improve on (study the motion, editing, and timing, not the face or the ending): https://www.tiktok.com/@restructureai/video/7691155026256923925 More of that channel: https://www.tiktok.com/@restructureai What we want from that reference: - A detailed workflow map with real technology logos - Smooth camera moves from the full system into a module - Modules that unfold into animated interfaces - Floating interface cards, depth, tasteful perspective, clear hierarchy - Records, messages, approvals, branches, and results animated in time with the narration - Frequent purposeful visual changes that stay understandable - Natural cuts between angles of real office footage - Polished color, instrumental music, and sound effects - Smooth playback - A clear picture of what each tool receives, does, and passes on What not to copy: the reference creator's face, his colored-light room, or his "likes and follow" ending. Our existing posts, so you can see the current level: https://www.instagram.com/lucas.r.senechal/ Starting film is our "Restructure Around AI" explainer: a quote workflow using Gmail, Notion, n8n, Claude, Airtable, and Slack, with real desk footage of Lucas. Keep his real appearance and movement. We have office clips, including laptop shots. Rotate them. Do not replace him with stock people or an avatar. Ending that must stay, and it changes by platform: Watching on TikTok? Follow me and message me here. Watching on Instagram? Follow me and message me there. Show the keyword REWIRE being typed, sent, and answered with a download reply. Keep the conversation visible. We will supply the real download pack. Do not invent a keyword or a fake link. Workspace, shared only after we hire you and you send a Google email. Do not expect a public link in this post. There are six videos, VID-001 through VID-006, plus a START HERE file, about 67 files in total. Five videos are ready. VID-006 is still being briefed and has no free-flow download pack, so do not use VID-006 for the test. The paid test uses one Ready video. Full-film deliverables, after the test is approved: - Finished 1080x1920 export with smooth, consistent frame timing - Editable project, linked assets, fonts, and export settings - Reusable scene components plus a short note on how to update them - Music and asset licensing - Timestamped revision notes - A quality check against the reference: readability, tool accuracy, narration sync, audio balance, playback, and a complete DM demonstration Please apply with a link to a portfolio piece that shows workflow maps, software interfaces, or motion design. Stock-footage reels and generic captions will not be considered. Say your rate inside $5 to $10/hr, how long the 20 to 30 second test would take, which software you would use (After Effects preferred), and that you can hand over an editable project.
