Minimal Motion Explainer Video

Title: Motion Designer – Minimalist Editorial Style (Typography + Abstract Visuals)
I’m looking for a motion designer to create high-end educational videos combining minimalist motion design with abstract visual storytelling.
This is NOT a typical explainer video.
Creative Direction
• Minimal, restrained motion (no flashy effects)
• Combination of:
o clean typography
o simple geometric / abstract shapes
• Visuals should support the message (not decorate it)
• Slow pacing, strong emphasis on timing and silence
• Dark or neutral backgrounds, premium aesthetic
Visual Style Reference
Think:
• Editorial / documentary motion
• Dan Koe–style minimal visuals
• Apple / high-end educational content
What I expect visually
• Use of basic shapes (lines, circles, blocks, gradients) to represent ideas
• Subtle animations:
o fades
o slow movement
o transformations
• No icons, no stock illustrations, no characters
Technical Requirements
• DaVinci Resolve or After Effects
• Strong sense of timing with voice-over
• Ability to build visuals from scratch (no templates)
What I’m NOT looking for
• Whiteboard animation
• Cartoon or character animation
• Template-based motion design
• “Explainer video” style with icons
Ideal Profile
• Experience in minimalist / editorial motion design
• Strong visual thinking (ability to translate ideas into simple shapes)
• Attention to detail and pacing
Deliverables
• 1–3 minute videos
• Clean project files
• Potential for long-term collaboration
