YouTube Motion Designer-Editor (1 Video/Week. Explainer Channel. AI + Light Animation)

We’re hiring a second editor-designer to join our growing creative team long-term...

These aren't cut-and-trim videos. They’re full visual experiences... quirky, surreal, and science-rich explainers told through voiceover, stick figures, custom props, and AI-generated art.

We already have one incredible editor... now we’re looking for another talented creative who can match the style perfectly so every video feels like it came from the same hand. You’ll work from a script and pre-recorded voiceover... and help bring complex ideas to life through fun, intelligent motion design.

What You'll Be Doing:
* Create 1 video per week (10–13 minutes)
* Use Photoshop and After Effects to build scenes
* Generate visuals using DALL·E, MidJourney, or similar tools (training provided if needed)
* Follow a detailed style guide... we provide characters, prompts, and visual references
* Add light animation and motion design to bring each scene to life (no advanced rigging)
* Work alongside another editor on the team, with each person producing one video per week

What We’re Looking For:
* Proficiency in After Effects and Photoshop
* Strong visual instincts and a love of design
* Comfortable using (or learning) AI art tools
* Excellent communication skills... we value clarity, responsiveness, and positivity
* Precise attention to detail when following brand guidelines
* Creativity to make complex ideas feel simple, clear, and fun

Compensation & Growth:
* $100–$150 USD per video, depending on experience and skill
* Weekly work after a successful test project
* Bonus system based on channel growth and your contribution
* Reliable USD payments
* A kind, collaborative team culture that values your input

Bonus If You Have:
* Experience with AI animation tools like Kling, Pika, or Haiper
* A background in motion or graphic design
* Familiarity with explainer channels like Kurzgesagt or The Evaluat0r

Our Channel Style:
* The channel covers strange science, surreal thought experiments, mind-expanding ideas, and mysterious phenomena... all with a fun, hand-drawn style.
* Think explainer meets sketchbook... custom visuals, stick figures, science, mystery, and light surrealism. 
* Use the word “zebra” in your application email so we know you read the whole post.
* Channel is slightly similar (but not identical) to:?

How to Apply:
Please send...
1. A short introduction (tell us about you!)
2. Your rate per video
3. 2–3 samples of your most creative, design-driven, relevant video work

We’re hiring ASAP... early applications will be reviewed first.

Note: The number of hours is really more about how long it takes you to create one video to a high standard. We have put 40 as our current editor takes around 5 days per video but if you can do it faster and still match the quality exactly, there is no problem with that. The rate is per video.
