AI Motion Graphics Artist

What matters most

• Create animations for distinct formats

  The role covers product explainers, brand videos, social media, campaigns, and ads. Prepare portfolio examples that show how pacing and visual choices change with the purpose of the video.

• Integrate AI into motion production

  The artist will use AI tools for ideation, experimentation, and production, including motion elements, backgrounds, and transitions. Be ready to explain where AI contributed and where manual animation decisions shaped the result.

• Build clear 2D and 3D explainers

  The posting calls for explainers that combine 2D/3D motion with AI-enhanced video workflows. Prepare to walk through how an example moves from concept to understandable animation.

• Collaborate and deliver polished edits

  Storyboarding and visual direction involve the design and content teams; final videos also need typography, effects, and sound. Select portfolio work that shows both collaborative decisions and clean finishing in the advertised editing tools.

Likely challenges to think through

• Balance AI speed with visual control

  Preparation hypothesis: AI-generated elements may accelerate exploration but need refinement to meet the posting’s standard for clean, professional animation. Prepare an example of evaluating outputs, correcting inconsistencies, and deciding when to animate manually.

• Make product stories clear without visual overload

  Preparation hypothesis: explaining shipping, tracking, returns, or carrier management could require simplifying a workflow while keeping the video engaging. Prepare to describe how you would choose the essential steps and use motion and typography to guide attention.

• Keep mixed-media sequences cohesive

  Preparation hypothesis: combining 2D, 3D, AI-generated footage, effects, and sound can create differences in style or timing. Prepare to explain how you would plan transitions and check consistency through the final edit.

Topics to prepare

• Product storytelling and storyboarding

  Map a short product explainer from audience problem to visual resolution, then sketch a storyboard and explain your visual choices. Relevant because the role creates product storytelling and collaborates with design and content teams on storyboarding and visual direction.

• 2D, 3D and AI-enhanced motion

  Plan where 2D animation, 3D motion and AI-generated elements would each serve an explainer, noting how transitions connect them. Relevant because the posting explicitly calls for this mix in explainer animations.

• AI-assisted production decisions

  Outline when AI-generated motion elements, backgrounds or transitions would improve an animation and when conventional animation would give more control. Relevant because FREDi describes AI as supporting ideation, experimentation and production.

• Visual hierarchy in short-form video

  Critique a short brand or social video for pacing, typography, effects and sound, then propose three specific edits. Relevant to the stated video work; short-form brand videos are listed as a bonus, not a requirement.

Skills to revise

• Animate a concise explainer

  In After Effects, build a short, clean product-explainer sequence with readable typography and purposeful transitions. This exercises the required After Effects proficiency and the responsibility to create modern animations.

• Edit and finish video

  Use Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve to edit a brief animation, refine its pacing, and review typography, effects and sound. Both applications are named proficiency requirements, and video enhancement is part of the role.

• Generate and integrate AI assets

  Using one AI tool named in the posting, such as Runway or Adobe Firefly, generate a background or transition and integrate it into an animated sequence. Working knowledge of AI tools and asset generation are explicitly requested; mastery of every listed tool is not.

• Present portfolio work clearly

  Select two clean animation samples and rehearse a brief account of each piece’s story, motion decisions and your contribution. A strong portfolio of professional animation work is explicitly requested; this is interview preparation, not an additional employer requirement.

• Select portfolio examples

  Choose clean, professional animations relevant to product explainers, brand videos, social media, campaigns or ads. Prepare a short reel and note your contribution to each piece.

• Rehearse a project walkthrough

  For one animation, explain the brief, storyboard, visual choices, 2D or 3D motion, editing decisions and final result. Identify where you collaborated with design or content teammates.

• Prepare a tool-and-workflow breakdown

  Show how you used After Effects, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve in relevant work. Bring a specific example of an AI tool or model used for ideation, motion elements, backgrounds or transitions, and explain what you refined yourself.

• Sketch a product-explainer concept

  As a preparation exercise—not a stated hiring assignment—draft a brief storyboard for a FREDi shipping, tracking or returns explainer. Include proposed motion, typography and sound choices without assuming product features beyond those named in the posting.

• Identify relevant specialist work

  If your portfolio includes UI animation, product tours or short-form brand videos, mark examples to discuss; the posting lists these as bonus experience, not requirements.

• Write questions for the interview

  Ask how the design and content teams develop storyboards, what formats the artist produces most often, and how AI-generated elements are reviewed and integrated into finished videos.
