- Collaborate to refine animation style and meet project objectives.
- Deliver final video files in the required formats and resolutions.
Requirements

- Proficiency with AI-driven animation tools or advanced video editing software (e.g., Adobe After Effects, DeepMotion, D-ID, or similar).
- Ability to create realistic lip-sync and facial movements.
- Strong attention to detail and ability to match voiceover with animation.
- Experience working with brand guidelines and delivering consistent visual quality.
- Excellent communication skills and ability to meet deadlines.
