Posted 4 weeks ago

Summary

Hello! We’re a kids animation app building out our organic social presence across Instagram, TikTok, and soon YouTube Shorts and Facebook. -We produce short-form, faceless animated content for kids and families — think character moments, mini-story clips, sing-along loops, "lore" reveals, and trend-driven remixes built around our original animated characters and worlds. -We're looking for an AI creator + editor who can take reference material (character designs, world rules, voice/style guides, and raw assets) and turn out a high volume of polished, on-brand 9:16 vertical videos using AI generation tools plus strong editing. This is an ongoing role with steady weekly output, not a one-off. *** PLEASE NOTE: *** -Please send links with specific, RELEVANT content you have made. -We need to see accounts/brands/platforms you’ve made content for. -Also send your rate. -If you don’t send these things, you will not be considered for this role, so thanks for understanding. . OUR GOAL: -To create viral content for our kids animation parent app Goodwatch (trygoodwatch.com) and one of our individual series. You will work with our social media manager(s) and Head of Content to create a LOT of content from our kids series. You will likely be using our own in-house, proprietary AI-production tools to super efficiently create social media videos and assets based on the worlds, characters and stories from the different kids animation series in the app. But you will need strong familiarity with AI video generation, specifically character consistency and being able to match a style and world perfectly. . ———— What you'll be making ———— * 15–45 second vertical clips: character moments, short story beats, sing-along/loop content, and trend remixes * Content that stays strictly on-model — characters and worlds must look and feel consistent every time * Native exports per platform (no cross-platform watermarks) * Hooks that land in the first 1.5 seconds ———— Must-haves ———— * Demonstrated experience making AI-generated or hybrid animation (we'll want to see this) * Strong short-form editing in CapCut and/or Premiere, including motion/text/sound design basics * Fluency with current AI generation and animation tooling * Trend literacy for IG Reels and TikTok * Reliable, quota-based output on a consistent schedule ———— Strongly preferred ———— * You've specifically made kids' animation content and understand that world — pacing, safety, rewatchability, what works for young viewers and the parents watching with them * You've grown or contributed to a content account/page (we want to see results, not just clips) ———— To apply — please include all of the following (applications missing these will be skipped): 1. Direct links to 3–5 examples of your work — ideally animated/AI animated short-form video. 2. Links to actual accounts or pages you've created content for (IG, TikTok, YouTube, etc.). Tell us specifically what was yours on each (created, edited, generated, scripted?). 3. If you've made kids' animation specifically, point us to it directly and tell us about it. 4. Your rate. Give us your price and how you prefer to be paid — per video, per batch, or monthly for a set weekly output. Be specific about what that buys us. 5. The tools you use for AI generation and for editing. ———— Screening questions (please answer directly in your proposal): 1. Roughly how many finished 15–45s vertical videos can you produce per day and per week at a quality bar you'd be proud to publish? Be honest — consistency matters more than peak. 2. Walk us through your exact workflow from receiving a reference pack and a brief to a finished, exported clip. What tools at each step, and how long does one video take you start to finish? 3. What's your typical turnaround on a single brief — same day, 24 hours, 48 hours? 4. Have you produced animated content where characters had to stay perfectly consistent across many videos? How do you keep them on-model? 5. Have you made content specifically for kids? What did you learn about what works for that audience that doesn't apply to general short-form? 6. Tell us about an account or page you helped grow — what was your role, and what were the results? 7. You're given a character reference pack and a trending sound. Briefly, what's your process for turning that into a publishable clip? *** PLEASE NOTE: *** Please send links with specific, RELEVANT content you have made. We need to see accounts/brands/platforms you’ve made content for. ———— Logistics * Faceless, fully async, output-quota based * Ongoing role with weekly output; we scale hours up for creators who prove reliable and on-brand * We'll start with a small paid test batch before committing to ongoing volume . Please give us your quote for this and your current availability. Thanks very much!
