Repurposing short videos into animated clips
Worldwide
We’re looking for a creative animator/video editor to help us turn existing talking head videos and transcripts into short, branded animated videos for social media. We already have the source videos and transcripts. Instead of using the speaker on camera, we want to transform the content into animated videos that focus on the message, not the individual person. The final videos should feel polished, modern, brand-aligned, and easy to watch on platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube Shorts. What we need: - Review existing videos and transcripts - Pull out the strongest messages, quotes, or takeaways - Turn them into short animated social videos, under 2 minutes each - Use motion graphics, text animation, icons, illustrations, or a similar style - Apply our brand colors, fonts, logo, and overall look - Add captions and social-ready formatting - Create a consistent style we can use across a video series - Provide final video files, and editable files if possible We’re open to creative approaches, including kinetic typography, motion graphics, illustrated explainer-style videos, or light avatar/character animation. The key goal is to separate the content from the individual speaker and make the videos feel more evergreen and brand-driven. Please include: - Examples of similar animated social videos you’ve created - Your recommended approach for this type of project - Typical turnaround time - Pricing structure, such as per video or per batch - What you would need from us to get started Bonus if you have experience with B2B, nonprofit, association, educational, or thought leadership content. We’d like to start with one sample video and then potentially move into a larger batch if it’s a good fit.
