Animator to Create Educational Explainer Video
Skills Required
Description
The goal of this project is to create an engaging explainer video that simplifies a complex educational topic for a broad audience. The animator will be responsible for turning abstract concepts into clear visuals, using storytelling techniques that make the content not only easy to understand but also enjoyable to watch. Motion graphics and After Effects will be central to the production process, ensuring smooth transitions and dynamic visuals that keep viewers focused from start to finish.

The animator should be able to map out a clear sequence that aligns with the script and ensures each scene flows logically into the next. Attention to pacing is important, as the video should move quickly enough to maintain interest but not so fast that viewers miss key information. Collaboration with the scriptwriter or subject matter expert may be needed to make sure the visuals support the learning objectives.
Strong design skills will be essential. The explainer should use color, typography, and illustration in a way that matches the educational brand’s style guide. The animator should also be comfortable creating characters or icons where necessary to bring concepts to life. A balance between creativity and clarity is expected—visuals must be engaging without overwhelming the core message.
