SUMMARY
We are building relaxing YouTube videos for sleep and meditation, and are looking for an animator who can create short, seamless, looping animations (5–10 seconds) from still images.
The animations will fall into two visual styles:
1. Ambient Nature Scenes Examples: • moonlit rivers • tropical beaches at night • forest lakes • glowing butterflies or fireflies • calm water reflections • stars and subtle mist Example style: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lXIgLSKp1g
These should feel calm, atmospheric, and relaxing.
2. Meditation / Energy Visualization Scenes Examples: • glowing neural brain animations • frequency waves moving slowly across the screen • light particles traveling through the body • subtle breathing motion in a sleeping figure • energy fields / cosmic environments Example styles:

Why we flagged this for parents & caregivers
FlexCareers scored this listing 50/100 on parent-friendliness based on the language the employer used in their own posting. We did not see explicit parent-friendly keywords (async, part-time, flexible hours, parental leave) — but the role is fully remote, which is the baseline filter for inclusion on FlexCareers. Read the application page closely and ask about parental leave, expected meeting hours, and core overlap windows during your first conversation. Employers who answer those questions clearly are usually the ones who'll respect the boundaries later.
Questions worth asking before you apply
- What are the required core hours of overlap, and which timezone are they in?
- How is on-call or after-hours coverage handled?
- What does parental leave actually look like — duration, pay, ramp back?
- What's the expected response time on Slack / chat outside of meetings?
- How does the team handle a sick kid day or a school pickup window?
