We're working with a personal growth brand whose method helps people access deeper states of awareness and dissolve stress at its source. Think: sensations in the body, layers of inner experience, the feeling of something releasing. Beautiful, subtle, meaningful territory.
We're looking for an animator to help bring this world to life visually - starting with one video, with strong potential for ongoing collaboration if the fit is right.
> What You'll Be Working On:
Our first project is a video that combines a talking head format with animation. We need someone who can:
- Visualise abstract inner experiences: sensations in the body, the concept of awareness expanding, the feeling of constriction dissolving
- Support a talking head video with motion graphics and animation that make the invisible visible
- Help explain the core concept of the method in a way that's clear, beautiful, and emotionally resonant
- Bring a considered visual language to a subject that is subtle and contemplative, not loud or corporate
> What We're Looking For:
- A motion designer or animator with a strong sense of visual storytelling
- Someone who can translate abstract, felt concepts into compelling visuals
- Experience with character animation, abstract motion design, or science/wellness explainer content is a plus
- Proficiency in After Effects or similar
- A portfolio that shows range - especially work that feels thoughtful and human, not just technically polished
- Someone who brings ideas, not just execution. We want a creative collaborator
- Clear communicator, reliable, open to an ongoing working relationship
> About the Brand:
This is a personal growth method with decades of history, a growing international community, and a body of published research behind it. We can provide you with the visual language / brand guide. The subject matter is contemplative and nuanced, and the people it reaches are thoughtful, curious, and drawn to work that takes inner life seriously.
> About Us:
We're an Amsterdam-based content agency backed by 20+ years of editorial and creative experience. We work across wellbeing, sustainability, entrepreneurship, fashion, and more. We're compact, international, and collaborative; and we appreciate creative partners who think with us, not just for us.
> How We Work Together:
We'll start with this one video. If the collaboration is a great fit, there's a clear pipeline of content - social videos, explainers, course materials - where you'd have increasing creative ownership.
Required Skills:
- Motion Design & Animation
- After Effects (or similar)
- Visual Storytelling
- Abstract / Conceptual Animation
- Clear creative communication
Please share a portfolio website (NO Google Drive folders). Bonus points if you include a note on how you'd approach animating something that can't be seen, only felt.
