Motion Designer for 90-Second Animated Platform Demo (M2 Outdoor Lifestyle App)

Project Goal: We are looking for a skilled video animation producer and motion designer to create a polished 90-second animated platform demo for M2, an outdoor lifestyle video platform connecting creators, users, brands, gear, posts, tags, groups, events, and video content across multiple lifestyle silos including fishing, overlanding, rodeo/western, motorsports, MMA, and responsible firearm/outdoor training communities. The demo must demonstrate actual platform use and feel like a real, credible product — suitable for CEOs, brand executives, content creators, and investors.

Main Tasks:
- Create a 90-second animated platform demo using provided Figma designs, brand assets, video clips, logo files, UI concepts, and written direction
- Animate the following platform flows: user opening the M2 feed, watching a video, tapping gear tags, saving gear, following a creator, joining a group, RSVPing to an event, uploading a post, selecting a silo, adding tags, and viewing basic dashboard insights
- Produce all required deliverable versions (see Expected Results)
- Maintain a premium, modern, clean, outdoor/action lifestyle visual style throughout
- Avoid cheesy 3D phone spins, neon tech effects, cartoon graphics, fake-looking dashboards, or generic corporate explainer styles

Requirements:
- Proficiency in UI animation and motion graphics
- Experience with SaaS, app, or product demo animation
- Figma-to-video workflow capability
- Proficiency in After Effects or equivalent professional animation software
- Video editing skills
- Strong typography, smooth transitions, and visual pacing
- Ability to present both mobile and desktop UI

Preferred Experience:
- Startup product demos
- Mobile app walkthroughs
- SaaS explainers
- Creator platforms, marketplaces, or social/video platforms

Expected Results:
- 90-second horizontal platform demo
- 30-second cutdown
- 15-second social teaser
- 9:16 vertical version
- Clean version without music
- Version with text overlays
- Final MP4 exports
- Editable project/source files

Ownership: All final files, raw files, project files, animations, graphics, and source assets must be transferred upon completion. Work may not be posted publicly or used in a portfolio without written approval.

To Apply: Please send examples of previous UI animation, SaaS/product demo, app walkthrough, or motion graphics work. Include your estimated price, timeline, preferred software, number of revision rounds included, and your approach to turning Figma screens into a 90-second animated platform demo.
