Summary

I’m looking for a fast-operating remote video creator to help produce simple sketchbook-style videos for paid advertising content. This role is specifically for someone who can take a completed voiceover and script, then film the matching sketchbook visuals. You will not need to edit the final ad. You will be paid to film and deliver the raw video file. What the job involves: I work with clients who create educational video ads The workflow will usually look like this: 1. I provide you with the final script 2. I provide you with the voiceover audio 3. You read through the script and understand what needs to be visually drawn 4. You film yourself drawing the sketchbook visuals in sync with the voiceover/script 5. You send back the raw video file 6. My team edits the video in-house The main purpose of this role is to help us create visual sketchbook footage that matches the message of the ad. What the sketchbook videos look like: - The videos are usually filmed from above, looking down at a sketchbook. Not a whiteboard, not a screen-capture, not an ipad. - The visuals are simple. - You do not need to be an amazing artist. - The goal is not beautiful artwork. - The goal is clear, simple, easy-to-understand visual communication. Example of finished video ad here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1afv4OzNRCeIp_aTX9DgpGY1qjGWj5M_m/view?usp=sharing What you will be drawing Most videos will involve simple visuals such as: * Boxes * Arrows * Circles * Stick figures * Houses * Phones * Calendars * Money symbols * Before and after diagrams * Simple flowcharts * Lists * Crosses and ticks * Basic icons * Words and phrases from the script You won't need to craft the script or come up with 'what to draw' - it will all be provided in the script. The drawings should make the message easier to understand. Important requirements You must be able to: * Film clean overhead video * Keep your hands and sketchbook clearly visible * Write neatly and clearly * Draw simple visuals confidently * Follow a script closely * Deliver raw video files * Communicate clearly * Meet deadlines * Take feedback and improve You do not need to be on camera. You do not need to speak. You do not need to illustrate, write and draw whilst recording - most of this will need to be pre-drawn before recording the video ad. You do not need to edit the final ad. Equipment needed You will need: * A phone or camera that films in good quality * A tripod or overhead filming setup * Good lighting * A clean sketchbook * Black, Red markers or pens * A quiet, clean filming space The footage must be clear, stable, and easy to edit. Style we are looking for The style should feel: * Simple * Clear * Educational * Human * Natural * Easy to follow * Not overly polished * Not overly artistic We are not looking for complicated illustrations. We are looking for someone who can make ideas easier to understand through simple drawing. Deliverables For each project, you will deliver: * One raw video file of the sketchbook itself * The full drawing process filmed clearly * No music required * No captions required * No final editing required The file should be sent in high quality, ideally via Google Drive, Dropbox, WeTransfer, or another file-sharing platform. Payment Payment will be per completed raw video file. Please include your rate per video when applying. As a guide, one sketchbook video may take up to 3 hours. If the work is good, this will become ongoing work. To apply Please send: 1. A short introduction 2. Any examples of similar work if possible 3. Your rate per video 5. Your usual turnaround time 6. What equipment/setup you use to film Bonus points if you can show a quick example of you drawing simple ideas on paper from above. Test task As part of the application, I may ask you to complete a short paid test so I can see your filming quality, handwriting, drawing clarity, and ability to follow a script. The test will be simple and short. Final note This role is best suited for someone who is creative, reliable, good at following instructions, and comfortable turning spoken ideas into simple sketchbook visuals. You do not need to be a professional illustrator. You just need to make the message clear.
