JOB OVERVIEW

We create story-driven explainer videos on YouTube. The visual style is simple, hand-drawn "paint" illustrations that are animated and revealed gradually as a narrator tells the story. Think clean, sketchy, MS-Paint-like drawings — charming and simple, not polished or corporate. Reference channel: ----------

What we're looking for:

- An illustrator/2D animator who can draw simple, expressive scenes quickly and consistently in the paint/sketch style shown in the reference channel
- Ability to animate drawings (drawing reveal, simple movement, transitions, zooms/pans) timed to a voice-over
- Comfortable turning a script into a sequence of illustrated scenes with good visual storytelling
- Reliable, communicates well in English, and can hit deadlines
- Owns the necessary software (e.g. Photoshop, Procreate, After Effects, or similar) and a drawing tablet
- Able to suggest creative ideas, not just execute

Please start your application with your favorite animal, so we know you read the entire job post.

Nice to have:

- Experience making YouTube content or long-form explainer/storytelling videos

To apply, please send:

- Your portfolio or reel (especially anything in a similar simple/illustrated style)
- A short note on your experience with this kind of work
- Your rate (per video) and your availability per week
- Bigger change if you send us a quick sample sketch in the reference style so we can see your interpretation
- Your turnaround for 10mins videos in the competitor video reference style

We'll start with a small paid test project before committing to ongoing work.

Thank you!
