About the role
Practise turning a short message into a storyboard and simple animation. You will learn to test timing early and check whether text and movement are clear in the exported sequence.
What you will practise
- Sketch a sequence and make a short timing test before refining the animation.
- Animate text or shapes, apply review feedback and organise the source assets for handover.
What you will learn
- Learn to connect a storyboard, visual hierarchy, and animation timing to a clear message.
- Document your work, respond to feedback, and explain what is ready for review and what still needs help.
What you should bring
- Basic design skills and familiarity with animation or motion graphics software. Practice work is welcome.
- Willingness to ask questions, keep clear notes, and revise work after feedback. Professional experience is not required.
Examples of work in this role
- A storyboard, motion test and revised practice animation.
- A packaged project with a checked export and notes on the revisions.
Working arrangements
- Keep progress, questions, and blockers visible through the agreed communication channels.
- Availability, working hours, equipment needs, and any location eligibility requirements will be discussed during recruitment.
- Training tasks require review. Supervision, school requirements, training hours, start date, and any allowance must be agreed before the placement begins.
- Live systems, publishing, and client commitments require authorisation. Begin with practice environments or reviewed drafts appropriate to the task.
What to include in your application
- Use the application form and include your CV, availability, and a short explanation of why this work interests you.
- Include a school or personal project where possible. If this is a school OJT placement, state your course, required hours, intended dates, and any school documentation requirements.
- Share a short motion exercise and explain how you chose the timing. Identify any template, third-party artwork or audio you used.
- Share only work you have permission to disclose. A redacted sample or a clear explanation is fine when client work is confidential.
