Job Description
Title: 2D Animation & Video Production Intern — Houston or Remote
About the project
We're "AI Made Fun," an educational company building a K-12 curriculum that teaches kids AI concepts through short animated videos. Our videos feature a cast of recurring custom characters who move, react, and lip-sync their way through fun, age-appropriate lessons. We have a library of finished episodes and a clear visual style; we need someone who can produce the next batch of module videos from storyboard to final export.
What you'll do
- Storyboard the full video from a provided script (scripts are written and ready)
- Generate and edit character voiceovers (using ElevenLabs AI voices)
- Recreate and rig our existing custom characters from provided finished videos and artwork — we do not have the original project files, so rebuilding clean, reusable character rigs is part of the role
- Animate short (2-3 min) educational videos in our established 2D vector / motion-graphics style, with character movement and lip-sync
- Add effects, transitions, and motion-graphics elements (zoom-ins, overlays, etc.)
- Export final videos and incorporate revision notes through our review cycles
Must-have skills
- A degree in animation (or a directly related field such as digital media / motion graphics)
- Proficiency in Adobe After Effects (our primary tool) — or strong Toon Boom Harmony / Adobe Animate skills with willingness to deliver in our pipeline
- 2D character animation, including rigging and lip-sync
- Ability to match an existing visual style from reference videos
- Storyboarding and visual storytelling
- Comfortable working with vector assets (Illustrator / SVG)
- Self-directed — able to take a script and produce a finished video with minimal hand-holding
- Reliable communication and ability to hit deadlines (this is important to us)
Nice to have
- Experience with educational or kids' content
- Experience with AI voice tools (ElevenLabs or similar)
- Premiere Pro for final assembly
- Basic illustration skills to clean up or redraw character assets if needed
Details
- Type: Internship / potential for full-time
- Location: Houston, TX (on-site) or Remote — open to both
- Scope: Approximately 50-60 videos over the contract
- Compensation: Paid per finished video
