Summary

2D / Whiteboard Animation Video Editor Needed for YouTube Explainer Channel - long time collaboration We are looking for a skilled 2D / whiteboard animation video editor for a new YouTube explainer channel about money, banks, wealth, power, hidden systems, business, and modern life. The videos should feel like premium animated explainers with: - 2D animation - whiteboard-style visuals - motion graphics - clear charts and diagrams - animated money flows, arrows, icons and numbers - recurring character-based scenes - real footage mixed in where useful This should not be a fully AI-generated whiteboard video. AI can be used as support for inspiration, backgrounds, or small elements, but we do not want generic AI scenes, inconsistent characters, unreadable AI text, or random AI-generated clips. We can create simple AI videos ourselves. We need someone who can build custom scenes with clear visual logic. For example, if the voice-over explains how a financial system works, we want to see a clear animated flow with characters, arrows, numbers and visual cause-and-effect. Not just random banking images or generic stock footage. Many videos will also include real footage mixed with animation, such as banks, city streets, people using phones, credit cards, offices, stock markets, luxury lifestyle, government buildings, news-style clips and financial references. The editor must be able to combine real footage with 2D / whiteboard animation in a clean and professional way. We will provide: - the script - scene direction / production sheet - channel style direction - recurring character reference - final voice-over from a voice-over artist Your job will be to create the full visual video and then combine it with the final voice-over, music, sound effects and final editing. Please send: - 2D animation samples - Whiteboard animation samples - Examples where you mixed real footage with animation - A short explanation of your workflow - Which software you use - Whether your project files are editable Please do not apply with only fully AI-generated samples. This can become a long-term collaboration with regular 2 - 3 YouTube videos per week if the first test works well. Please start your application with: “I create custom 2D explainer videos.”
