Motion Designer

I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy building a long-form YouTube series for combat athletes (MMA, Muay Thai, Boxing).
This is an editorial, documentary-style breakdown show focused on:
• Fight camp decision-making
• Performance and readiness
• Injury prevention in fighter language
• Calm, intelligent analysis
The fighter is the emotional center.
I appear occasionally as a steady analyst voice — not a cartoon host.
This is a long-term role.
???? Responsibilities
• Animate 1 × 8–10 minute YouTube episode per week
• Help establish a consistent visual template (intro, lower thirds, transitions)
• Create minimal line-art or clean illustrated figures
• Animate cinematic fight-training sequences (minimal but dynamic)
• Use AI voiceover tools when needed (ElevenLabs, etc.)
• Deliver clean exports and timestamps for social clips
Expected commitment:
15–25 hours per week
Style Direction
Think:
• Vice / Complex / sports documentary tone
• Minimal, mature design
• Clean line art or simplified illustration
• Dark editorial aesthetic
• Subtle motion
• Strong typography
• Negative space
This is not explainer-style animation.
This is not children’s educational content.
It should feel composed, confident, and restrained.
???? Requirements
• Strong motion design skills (After Effects preferred)
• Comfortable using AI tools (voiceovers, generative visuals where appropriate)
• Good sense of pacing and storytelling
• Able to build reusable templates
• Strong communication
• Portfolio required

Long-term position
CONCEPT TEST To move forward, please complete the following short concept test (45 seconds max).
This is not a full production.
I am evaluating style, pacing, and tone.
Concept Prompt
Animate a 30–45 second sequence based on this script:
Five rounds in.
Sparring’s getting messy.
His jab’s a half-beat late.
He keeps blaming his footwork.
But it’s not his feet.
His reactions are slow.
His guard drops a second too long.
This isn’t toughness.
This is fatigue pretending to be discipline.
And this is where most fighters lose the fight before they ever step in the cage.
