▷ Urgent Search! Motion Graphics Designer / Animator (2D / 2.5D)

Role :

Create snappy, Half as Interesting–style explainer animations that make YouTube viewers watch to the end. You’ll turn scripts + VO + notes marking which parts to animate into crisp 2D / 2.5D motion : charts, maps, kinetic text, on‑screen UI / email callouts, and playful visual gags.

Style references : Half As Interesting, MagnatesMedia, Wendover Productions (see this showreel - https : / / youtu.be / m7ZN8b8Kliw?si=vD9wSgYFbBJBeIcW for exact vibe).

What You'll Do :

• Animate sections as marked in our notes (we specify which parts need motion).
• Build clean, modular scenes with smooth easing, anticipation / overshoot, and tasteful motion blur.
• Turn numbers into clear animated charts (bars, lines, counters) and simple vector maps (zooms, routes, highlights)—illustrative accuracy, not GIS.
• Craft kinetic typography and on‑screen text through objects (e.g., email UI that zooms to a line and highlights it).
• Design creative data representations (comparisons, timelines, progress meters) from provided assets.
• Produce animations on top of Google Maps screen recordings when needed (routes, pins, callouts).
• Deliver clean renders of animated segments (project files only if requested).
