You'll receive talking-head video footage alongside a script and creative direction. Your job is to take that raw material and produce a finished, premium short-form video — handling everything from typography and motion graphics to pacing, composition, and visual progression. The footage is the starting point. The craft is yours.
What you need to be able to do
Design a custom typography system for each video — not caption overlays, but type that is built to sell the message
Animate text with precision — dynamic reveals, strong emphasis on key phrases, controlled rhythm and easing
Apply motion graphics that feel custom — connected to the content, not dropped in from a template library
Design stat and proof sections that look sharp and credible, not abstract or decorative
Build visual escalation from hook to CTA — the video should increase in energy and intensity
Control depth and layering — foreground, subject, graphics, and background working together intentionally
Establish and hold one visual language per video — no style drift, no mixed aesthetics
Make transition choices motivated by the edit, not by what a plugin offers
Tools
After Effects is required — this is non-negotiable
Premiere Pro for assembly and rough cut is fine alongside AE
Bonus: Cinema 4D, DaVinci Fusion, or 3D compositing experience
Portfolio — what works and what doesn't
Pass
Reel built primarily in CapCut or Premiere
Heavy use of pre-made template assets
Text that reads like animated subtitles
Inconsistent visual language within a single piece
Graphics that decorate rather than support the message
Strong yes
Custom kinetic type built from scratch in AE
Stat or data sections designed to convince, not just display
Each piece has one clear, held visual identity
Work that earns attention before you hear the audio
Lyric videos, premium brand ads, or high-retention creator content
Reference direction
Watch these three examples before applying. Your application must include a short paragraph explaining what makes each one work — specific craft observations, not general praise. Applications without this will not be reviewed.
