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).

Voiceover: None (must be language-independent)

Visual Techniques:
- Colour highlighting, arrows, overlays
- Magnifying pop-outs
- Graphic tools (e.g., dotted alignment guides, angle indicators)

They will provide:
- Brand style guide + assets
- A full IRL reference video demonstrating each adjustment step

- Height Adjustment (H)

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