**Job Type:**
Part-Time ($6-10/hr, starting 10 hours/week, with potential to grow to 15–20 hours)
**About the Project:**
We manage a bi-weekly newsletter that breaks down the biggest blockchain, DeFi, and crypto stories in a smart yet silly, light-hearted way. Our goal is to make complex finance, fintech, and crypto topics simple, fun, and appealing to both industry experts (finance, government, tech) and younger audiences (business school students + broader social media users curious about the space).
**What You'll Do:**
- **Primary Role (#1):** Every other week, transform one newsletter edition (stories + custom songs) into **viral vertical short-form videos** (15–60s) in the **3D animated, caption-heavy style of Zack D Films** — fast-paced, absurd, funny, edgy, and highly engaging (absolutely no corporate feel!).
- Strategize fresh concepts, storyboards, and character designs to turn educational crypto content into entertaining, shareable chaos.
- Speed up songs for addictive short-form pacing, create custom 3D characters and environments, drive story actions/interactions, and add silly sound effects, text pops, zooms, and playful visuals.
- **Secondary Role (#2):** Weekly, clip podcast videos into cropped, captioned shorts optimized for X (horizontal feed + vertical shorts) and TikTok.
- Select the most hooky 8–15 second soundbites or strong interactions (especially Q&A between host and guest).
**Who We're Looking For:**
- Strong **concept artist** not afraid to push the envelope — edgy, playful, bold visuals that lean into absurdity and irreverent humor while staying smart and engaging.
- Solid skills in **3D animation and video editing** (Blender, CapCut, Premiere, After Effects, etc.).
- Portfolio ideally showing **3D humanoid character stories set to music or lyrics** (narrative scenes, character actions, singing/dancing, caption-sync) and/or **podcast clipping work** (hooky, captioned shorts from long-form).
- Bonus: Interest or knowledge in **crypto/DeFi** — you understand industry drama and can make it funny.
- Fluent **English speaker** (strong written and spoken) for clear reading, writing, and communication.
- Creative storyteller who loves silly, fun, non-serious vibes —
- Reliable, proactive, and excited to turn news/education into entertaining chaos.
**Pay & Hours:**
- **Hourly Rate:** $6–$10 USD/hour (depending on experience and portfolio quality — higher end for proven talent).
- **Starting Hours:** 10 hours/week (flexible around deliverables, with room to increase based on workload and performance).
**Paid Test Project (Required for Shortlisting):**
To find the best fit, shortlisted applicants will be invited to complete a **paid test project** ($50–$80 fixed, depending on quality/speed):
1. Take 1 provided newsletter story + its song and translate it into a **90-second vertical short-form viral video** in **3D animated Zack D Films style**. Include similar 3D characters, settings, scenes, actions, singing/dancing, and captions (we'll provide video style reference + 2 character references).
2. Cut & caption 1 long-form podcast episode (~30 minutes) into **5 short clips** — selecting the most hooky, engaging, interesting statements or interactions (Q&A
We'll provide all files (story, song, podcast, references). Turnaround: 3–5 days. Top performers get the ongoing role.
