Freelancer Needed – Adobe After Effects Specialist (Visual Effects & Motion Graphics)

Job ID: 40288884

Budget: $15 – $25 USD

We do not accept auto bids. If you auto bid without reading to the end you will be automatically rejected.

We are looking for a highly skilled **Adobe After Effects artist** who specializes in **visual effects, motion graphics, and cinematic animations**.

This role is for someone who understands **how to create effects from scratch**, not someone who simply applies stock templates or preset transitions.

You will be helping produce **high-impact animated visuals** for a technology startup focused on advanced AI systems. These visuals will be used for website media, promotional videos, product presentations, and brand visuals.

### What We Need

We are looking for someone who can design and produce effects such as:

• Cinematic **logo reveals and animated intros**
• **Energy / electricity / particle effects**
• **Light streaks, glow effects, and motion trails**
• **High-impact transitions and scene builds**
• **Tech-style HUD elements and graphical overlays**
• **Animated typography and motion graphics**
• **Dynamic camera movement and depth effects**
• **Object and logo animations that feel cinematic and powerful**

Think **modern technology branding**, not cheesy stock effects.

### Required Skills

You must be highly proficient with:

• **Adobe After Effects (expert level)**
• Keyframing and animation curves
• Compositing and masking
• Particle systems and procedural effects
• Motion tracking
• Lighting, glow, and atmosphere effects
• Color grading and cinematic finishing
• Layer blending, mattes, and advanced compositing

Experience with these is a **major plus**:

• Trapcode Suite (Particular, Form, etc.)
• Element 3D
• Red Giant tools
• Saber / advanced glow effects
• Cinema 4D integration with After Effects

### Important

We are **not looking for someone who just applies templates**.

We want someone who understands:

• timing
• motion physics
• visual impact
• cinematic composition
• effect layering

You should be able to take a **static logo or graphic and transform it into something powerful and visually striking.**

### Working Style

You will work **directly with the founder/architect** (fast-moving environment). Work is delivered in **clear small tasks**, and new work is assigned as tasks are completed.

We move quickly and expect **high skill and efficiency**.

### To Apply

Please include:

1. Links to **your best After Effects work**
2. Examples of **effects you personally created**
3. Any work involving **logo animations or tech-style visuals**

If your portfolio shows **generic YouTube intros or template-driven work**, this probably is not the role for you.

We are looking for **artists who know how to build effects, not just use them.**
