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
What You’ll Be Animating
A step-by-step animation covering:
- Height Adjustment (H)
- Translation Adjustment (T)
- Rotation Adjustment (R)
- Test–refine loop to find the “sweet spot” (“bliss spot”)
- 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).
