Job Description

ataraxyBSC is an Australian startup, dedicated to transforming the cycling experience, and they are looking for a motion graphic designer or 2D animator who excels in clean, technical, product-focused animation.

About the Project 

They’re creating a language-independent instructional animation that visually guides global vabsRider users through the three key seat adjustment steps: Height (H), Translation (T), Rotation (R). The goal is to provide a clear, intuitive guide using only on-screen graphics and minimal text — no voiceover.

Scope of Work

Duration: 60–90 seconds 

Style: 2D animation or motion graphics (explainer style) 

Voiceover: None (must be language-independent)

On-Screen Text: Minimal — step titles only 

Visual Techniques:

  • Colour highlighting, arrows, overlays
  • Magnifying pop-outs
  • Graphic tools (e.g., dotted alignment guides, angle indicators)
  • Smooth, clear, technically accurate representation of the product

They will provide:

  • Brand style guide + assets
  • A full IRL reference video demonstrating each adjustment step
  • Additional example references

  1. Height Adjustment (H)
  2. Translation Adjustment (T)

  5. Final synced movement between rider and vabsRider seat

The animation should show incorrect vs. correct adjustments with simple graphic cues (X marks, ticks, colour highlights).
