Summary

Project Overview: We’re looking for a world-class 2D motion designer / animator to create a beautifully crafted black-and-white line animation that explains our Sesh Rewards experience in a simple, elevated, and visually stunning way. Style inspiration: • (link removed) • (link removed) We want something minimal, intelligent, fluid, and premium — not cartoonish. Think Apple x Stripe x modern tech product film — but executed in elegant black-and-white line work. This will be a ~60–90 second brand explainer film. What We’re Building: We are launching a dynamic Rewards platform for a product sold at gas stations — the product contains a smart, NFC-enabled tag that is built into our packaging. The animation should visually tell this story: 1. Our product sitting on a gas station shelf 2. A subtle “smart tag” embedded under the product's label 3. A customer walks in and purchases the product 4. They leave the store 5. They tap the product with their phone (like Apple Pay) 6. A notification appears on phone 7. Rewards app opens on phone 8. The user enters a beautifully animated world of rewards: • Rewards Points accumulating • Status tiers rising • Discounts unlocking • Free shipping unlocking • Limited flavor drops accessed • Exclusive access to VIP events • “Money-can’t-buy” celebrity experiences Creative Direction: Style • Black and white only (small pops of our colors) • Clean, elegant line drawing • Minimal shading, high contrast • Subtle depth (can feel “flat 3D” but still line-based) • Smooth, flowing transitions • No cheesy stock animation Tone • Intelligent • Premium • Futuristic • Effortless • Elevated tech Pacing • Calm, confident, cinematic • Not overly fast or chaotic • Music will likely be minimalist and modern We want this to feel seamless and magical — as if one continuous flowing line animates the entire journey. Deliverables • 1x 60–90 second animation • 16:9 master file (4K preferred) • Version adaptable to social cutdowns (9:16 optional bonus) • After Effects project files (or equivalent) • Clean editable files for future updates What We’re Looking For • Strong portfolio of high-end 2D motion design • Experience with line animation • Strong sense of pacing and visual storytelling • Ability to translate abstract tech concepts into elegant visuals • Bonus: Experience with tech/product explainer films When applying, please: • Share 3–5 relevant examples • Tell us how you would approach this stylistically • Estimate timeline • Include your estimated project cost
