Motion Graphic Designer
About the role
As a Motion Graphic Designer at Brandora you will make brands move in a way that means something. That covers campaign film and social cutdowns, and it equally covers the interface motion that tells somebody where a panel came from. This is a part-time role for someone with genuine craft and a strong sense of when less movement is the right answer.
What you'll do every day
You will animate to a brief and to a soundtrack, build motion systems that a web team can implement rather than only render, and produce the twelve versions a campaign needs from one master. You will work with designers on how a static system should behave, and with the web team on what is actually affordable in a browser.
Responsibilities
- Animate campaign and social assets from static design systems.
- Define motion vocabularies -- easing, duration, hierarchy -- and document them.
- Produce platform-specific cutdowns and aspect ratios efficiently.
- Work with the web team on motion that has to run in a browser.
- Keep project files organised well enough for someone else to open them.
- Balance ambition against render time and file size.
Qualifications
- A reel of motion work with a clear sense of timing.
- Strong After Effects skills; Cinema 4D or Blender is a plus.
- An understanding of easing and hierarchy, not just keyframes.
- Experience producing at volume for social platforms.
- Some familiarity with what CSS and Lottie can and cannot do.
Who we're looking for
Someone who animates to explain rather than to impress. You have opinions about easing curves, you know the difference between motion that helps somebody follow a story and motion that makes them wait, and you build files other people can pick up.
Skills and expertise
After Effects, motion systems, sound-led editing, cutdowns and aspect-ratio work, plus a working understanding of web motion. 3D is welcome and not required.
Why join us
Brandora is small enough that your work is visible and structured enough that it ships. You will see projects from the first conversation to the launch rather than inheriting a brief and handing off a file. We work across industries on purpose, we protect focus time, and we would rather you left at six having done something good than stayed until nine doing something adequate. Reviews are quarterly, salary bands are written down, and there is a real budget for the conference or the course you keep meaning to go to.
