We’re looking for an illustrator/animator to help us refresh a one-minute section of an educational motion comic for middle school students. You’ll be working from existing artwork and a creative brief, helping us make the sequence feel more polished, dynamic, and visually clear. That could include adding movement, improving transitions and pacing, rethinking on-screen graphics, and finding creative ways to make the science concepts easier to follow and more engaging for today’s students. This is a small pilot, but we’re also hoping to learn what a larger remaster process could look like. We’re looking for someone with strong visual instincts who is collaborative and comfortable experimenting. You should also be comfortable incorporating AI-assisted tools into your creative workflow where useful and appropriate.

Specific skills and abilities include: • Strong eye for detail and visual polish • Experience animating 2D characters • Proficient in Adobe After Effects + Illustrator • Character rigging ability (rubberhose style rigs) • Ability to use music/sound cues to inform cut-timing and animation beats • Ability to self-QC work for spelling, timing, color, and overall client-readiness • Comfortable asking clarifying questions rather than guessing when a brief is unclear • Reliable communication (can give status updates without being chased) • Eye for negative space and hierarchy, knows what the viewer should look at first, second, and third • Ability to 'tween' keyframes prompts and work in a self-guided capacity • Strong visual dexterity with a wide range of natural movement styles and flow

We are looking for a motion designer to create a How it Works Process animation that we can distribute across platforms. Final exports will include gifs, an mp4, a mov with a transparent (alpha channel) background, as well as the project file (preferably .aep file). The animation will show our company's process, how patients get and receive an order, which is 3 steps. The animation will probably be 10 seconds or less. We have some ideas for the animation, but coming to the board with your own creativity and creative ideas is imperative, as well as following our creative brief and staying consistent with our brand guidelines. We would like to have this project complete within the next couple of weeks to a month. You'll be reporting to the company's Multimedia Designer throughout the project. We will also need guidance on how best to display the animation on our website, email, and MMS platforms- any tips and expertise here is much appreciated!

I’m looking for a skilled video editor to create a polished, high-impact 20-second Meta video ad for an online storytelling course. This is not a talking-head video and does not require filming. The concept, copy, timing, brand direction, and overall structure have already been developed and will be provided to the selected editor. The ad will primarily feature bold kinetic typography, dramatic music, rapid text treatments/cross-outs, and a polished branded product reveal. Style I'm Looking For: Clean. Bold. Modern. Premium. The video needs to stop the scroll immediately without feeling like a cheap or overly aggressive internet ad. I'm looking for: • Strong kinetic typography • Bold sans-serif type • Clean, intentional animation • Fast, confident pacing • Music synchronized tightly to the visuals • Professional transitions • Excellent hierarchy and readability • A premium rather than gimmicky feel • Creative that works effectively with or without sound The brand palette is primarily deep navy, warm cream/white, and gold. The Creative The ad is built around a simple transformation: Frustration with conventional marketing advice → a surprising reframe → a bold storytelling message → product and offer reveal. The finished script, timing, brand assets, website reference, and detailed creative direction will be provided to the selected editor. I'm looking for an editor who can take a well-developed concept and elevate the execution through typography, pacing, movement, music, and polish. Deliverables • One finished approximately 20-second video • Square 1:1 format for Meta • High-quality MP4 export • Editable source/project file • Two rounds of revisions Who I'm Looking For Please apply only if you have experience with: • Short-form video advertising • Meta/Facebook/Instagram ad creative • Kinetic typography • Direct-response or product advertising I'm much more interested in simple strong typography, pacing, and advertising instincts than elaborate visual effects. When responding, please send 2–3 examples of work that are closest to this specific style. Please don't send a general showreel if possible—I specifically want to see short ads, kinetic typography, or direct-response creative. If this project goes well, there is potential for additional work, including a longer promotional/explainer video for the same product.

The project We are launching a software platform in the next 30 days and need our first marketing video. Roughly 60 to 90 seconds. This is the anchor asset for the whole launch: homepage, paid social, and organic. Style direction Motion graphics layered over screen recordings of the real product, with cinematic elements woven through. Clean typography, confident pacing, real interface moving on screen, and enough texture and light that it feels premium. The product serves a high end retail vertical, so the visual language needs to feel expensive. That is the bar. If it looks like a stock B2B software ad, we missed. What we provide Screen recordings, or access to a live demo environment Brand assets, logo, colors Script and messaging direction (positioning is already locked) Reference footage and photography for the cinematic layer Fast feedback, usually same day What we need from you Storyboard or animatic before full production Motion design, compositing, and edit Sound design and licensed music Final delivery in 16:9, 9:16, and 1:1 Source files on delivery This is the first of several If the first video lands, we have four to six more planned through launch and after. We are looking for someone to grow into an ongoing relationship, not a single transaction. Who we are looking for We do not care what industry you have worked in. We care whether you can make something beautiful. If your background is commercials, music videos, title sequences, fashion, or product film, we want to hear from you. What matters is taste, craft, and the ability to make an interface feel like an object worth wanting. To apply Send 2 or 3 links to the best work you have ever made. Not the most relevant, the best. Tell us exactly what your role was on each. In one or two sentences: how would you make software feel expensive? Give your fixed price and turnaround for this first video. Skip the templated cover letter. We will know.

We are looking for an experienced motion graphics designer / broadcast designer to create a new animated show open for REBUILD:LA, an established Los Angeles-focused podcast that is transitioning from an audio podcast into a professionally produced video podcast. REBUILD:LA was created to explore the issues surrounding recovery and rebuilding following the devastating January 2025 Los Angeles wildfires. The program has developed into a broader conversation about the future of Los Angeles—bringing together public safety leaders, elected officials, subject-matter experts, community leaders, journalists, and others involved in rebuilding and strengthening the region. You can hear the existing REBUILD:LA podcast here: https://rebuildla.buzzsprout.com/ Additional background on our wildfire resilience and recovery work can be found at: https://wildfirela.org/ The Next Generation of REBUILD:LA We are now evolving REBUILD:LA from an audio-first podcast into a weekly video program with the feel of a contemporary insider/news magazine. The new program will retain the interviews and substantive conversations that have made the podcast successful, while adding more produced elements, including field reports, short features, news and information segments, graphics, video packages, and other visual storytelling. As part of that evolution, we need a distinctive animated show open that immediately establishes the identity, energy, and quality of the new program. What We’re Looking For We envision an opening approximately 10–20 seconds in length, although we are open to recommendations based on the creative concept and music. The REBUILD:LA logo already exists and will remain the principal show identity. The animation should complement and ultimately feature that logo rather than redesign it. We would like the opening to feel: * Contemporary * Bright and uplifting * Energetic without becoming frantic * Sophisticated and editorial * Connected to Los Angeles * Appropriate for a high-quality news/magazine-style video program The existing logo provides a strong visual palette—including blues, yellows, greens, reds, and oranges—and contains visual references to Los Angeles, community, rebuilding, and Southern California. We would like the motion design to take inspiration from that identity while allowing the designer considerable creative freedom. We do not want the opening to feel like a disaster documentary, emergency-services recruitment video, government presentation, or conventional corporate animation. While wildfire recovery is an important part of the REBUILD:LA story, the program is increasingly about what Los Angeles does next. There should be a sense of optimism, momentum, curiosity, rebuilding, and possibility. Music The music for the opening already exists and will be provided. The animation should be designed and timed around the supplied music. We are interested in a designer who understands how motion, typography, transitions, visual accents, and logo reveals can work naturally with musical beats and changes in energy. We are not seeking original music composition as part of this project. Deliverables We anticipate the primary deliverable being a completed 16:9 show open, preferably mastered in 4K UHD (3840 × 2160), with HD versions as appropriate. Final delivery should include a high-quality master suitable for professional video editing and an MP4 version for general production use. We can discuss preferred codecs and working/project files with the selected designer. During concept development, lower-resolution MP4 comps are perfectly acceptable. We would rather spend the early stages evaluating creative direction, movement, pacing, and energy than prematurely polishing a concept. There may also be an opportunity for additional work developing complementary REBUILD:LA motion graphics—including transitions, segment opens, bumpers, lower thirds, and related elements—if the show-open collaboration is successful. Who We’re Looking For The ideal freelancer has experience with broadcast motion graphics, television opens, documentary/news graphics, streaming programs, or sophisticated video podcast branding. Strong typography and logo animation skills are important, but we’re particularly interested in someone with good editorial instincts—a designer who can understand what the program represents and translate that into a memorable visual identity. Experience with Adobe After Effects or comparable professional motion-design tools is expected. We welcome creative ideas. We have explored some preliminary concepts internally, but we are deliberately not providing a frame-by-frame creative brief because we don’t want to constrain the designer’s thinking.

I have an overflow of editing work and need a backup editor I can lean on to take care of whatever I can't get to. This person must be familiar with Premiere + After Effects workflows and have basic video editing skills as well as advanced motion graphics / animating skills. Must be agile and provide quick turnarounds. Work will consist of social edits, tradeshow graphics and more. Must be willing to sign NDA and not share this work in their portfolio.

We are looking for a talented **2D Motion Designer / Limited Animator** to help develop the next visual style for an established short-form horror channel. Our videos are approximately 60–75 seconds long and are published primarily on TikTok and YouTube Shorts. I have attached one of our existing videos as a reference. This video represents our current visual style and also includes our upgraded professional music and sound design. We are **not looking to completely replace the current identity**. Instead, we want to evolve it into a darker, more atmospheric and more polished 2D style. A major part of the new direction will be: * Strong shading * Dramatic use of light and darkness * Silhouettes * Deep shadows * Negative space * Atmospheric environments * Better depth and perspective * Subtle movement throughout scenes We especially like the **mood, contrast, silhouettes, and atmospheric shading found in games such as LIMBO**, but we are not looking to copy another game's art style. The final look should remain original and recognizable as our own brand. ### The Animation Style We are **not looking for expensive full frame-by-frame animation**. We are interested in limited 2D animation and motion design where specific elements of a scene move. Examples could include: * A character slowly turning their head * Someone walking through a hallway * A door opening or closing * A shadow moving in the background * A phone screen lighting up * Curtains moving * Lights flickering * A hand reaching toward an object * Slow camera push-ins * Parallax between foreground and background * Subtle character movement Some scenes may involve more movement than others. The goal is for the video to constantly feel visually alive without becoming overly complicated or cartoon-like. ### How Our Workflow Would Work We handle the concept, writing, voiceover, editing, captions, music, and sound design. For each video, you would receive: * The completed script * The final voiceover for timing and pacing * Scene direction * Existing character/style references * Examples of previous videos * Additional creative direction when necessary Your responsibility would be to turn the script into the illustrated and animated visual scenes. We will assemble the final video ourselves in CapCut. ### Deliverables For each video, we would ideally receive: * Individual numbered animated scenes * 1080 × 1920 vertical format * MP4 format * Approximately 30 fps * No captions * No narration * No music or sound effects baked into the clips * Static PNG/JPG artwork when appropriate For example: Scene_01.mp4 Scene_02.mp4 Scene_03.png Scene_04.mp4 This allows us to assemble and adjust the final pacing ourselves. Editable/source files such as After Effects, Photoshop, or Illustrator files are a plus, particularly if we begin developing reusable characters, environments, and visual assets together, but they are not required for the initial paid test. ### Opening Video Footage Our videos will often begin with a short real-video or realistic-video hook before transitioning into the illustrated/animated portion. We will generally handle this opening separately unless we specifically discuss otherwise. Your primary responsibility will be the illustrated and animated portion of the video. ### What We Care About Most We are looking for someone who is particularly strong at: * 2D illustration * Shading * Lighting * Atmospheric composition * Limited character animation * Motion graphics * Visual storytelling * Horror or suspense atmosphere We care more about **strong composition, shading, and atmosphere** than extremely complex animation. A simple scene with excellent lighting and subtle movement is much more valuable to us than a heavily animated scene that does not fit the brand. ### Paid Test This job begins with a **$200 paid test**. The purpose of the test is to find someone who could potentially become a long-term visual collaborator for the channel. If the test is successful, we currently expect to produce approximately **10–13 videos per month**. For ongoing production, we are targeting approximately **$150–$200 per completed video**, depending on the quality, complexity, workflow, and amount of reusable artwork we are able to develop together. We understand that pricing may evolve based on the final workflow and are interested in hearing how you would approach the project. ### When Applying Please send: 1. Your strongest 2D illustration work 2. Examples of 2D animation or motion design 3. Work demonstrating strong shading, shadows, or atmospheric lighting 4. Any dark, suspenseful, cinematic, horror, or game-inspired artwork 5. Examples of character animation if available 6. The software you normally use 7. Your typical price for this type of 60–75 second project 8. Your estimated turnaround time 9. Whether you would be interested in ongoing work of approximately 10–13 videos per month Please begin your proposal with **DON'T PANIC** so we know you read the entire description. We are especially interested in finding someone who can help us develop a consistent visual system over time rather than simply completing one isolated animation project.
