Job description

We’re Black Camel — the B2B ad agency known for turning complex tech stories into bold, witty, unforgettable campaigns.Now, as we scale our Video Growth Engine, we’re expanding our freelance roster of animation and motion talent for global technology brands — from SaaS and cybersecurity to AI and fintech.

What We Do

We create video campaigns that make tech human, clear, and memorable — spanning the full funnel :

Brand films & ads (top of funnel)

Explainers & product demos (mid funnel)

Sales enablement & training content (bottom of funnel)

Mixed Media storytelling — combining motion graphics, product UI, stock, AI, and live-action

AI-enhanced workflows — using Runway, Sora, and other tools to push creativity further

What We’re Looking For

Freelancers with taste, timing, and technical skill — people who can turn complex software or data into clean, captivating visual stories.

Core Skills

• 2D Animation & Motion Design – Crisp, intelligent storytelling in motion.
• UI / UX Animation – Understands product interfaces, flows, and logic.
• Typography & Layout – Uses hierarchy and rhythm to guide the viewer’s eye.
• Visual Design & Tech Aesthetic – You speak the modern design language : glassmorphism, gradients, glow, light effects, and the kind of depth that makes SaaS and AI products feel alive.
• 3D & Product Renders – From subtle parallax to cinematic device fly-throughs.
• Compositing & Pacing – Layering, easing, and editing for maximum clarity and flow.
• Sound Design Awareness – You know how satisfying a “click” or “swoosh” can be when it hits just right.

Tech Stack

• Adobe After Effects (must-have)
• Illustrator / Figma for UI and asset prep
• Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve for editing
• Cinema 4D or Blender for 3D integration
• Audition or similar for basic sound mix

Nice-to-Have

• Experience with AI tools like Runway, Pika, or Sora
• Confidence blending live-action, stock, and motion into seamless hybrid visuals

You’ll Fit If You…

• Have a reel that makes us stop scrolling
• Can turn static screens into stories that sell
• Adapt easily to different tones (quirky SaaS, polished enterprise, sleek AI)
• Thrive on fast turnarounds without sacrificing craft
• Stay curious about emerging design and animation workflows

Why Work With Us

• Global Tech Clients – From high-growth SaaS, world famous AI companies
• Creative Freedom – No cookie-cutter explainer templates here (well, not often)
• Ongoing Collaboration – We build long-term relationships, not one-offs
• Professionalism, Zero Corporate Nonsense – Clear briefs, fast approvals, timely payment
