Motion Designer / Video Editor - Ganes Academy

Ganes Academy is a premium tutoring brand in London specialising in GCSE and A\-Level Mathematics and Science. We're scaling our content output significantly \- from 22 June our production is stepping up to 20–30 deliverables per week across in\-app tutorials, explainers, and worked\-example videos.

We're hiring a motion designer / video editor to work alongside our existing editor. Two people splitting the weekly load, both reporting to Dr Lavan. We've already built the production pipeline, the in\-house aesthetic, and the AI\-assisted workflows. What we need is someone who can plug into the system on day one and start delivering.

The work:

Dr Lavan records teaching footage that becomes the source for everything. You'll be producing in\-app tutorial content for an educational product \- short, premium\-feeling explainers that combine talking\-head footage with animated scientific graphics.

Specifically, you'll be:

• Animating scientific objects \- atoms, molecules, orbital diagrams, biological cycles, chemistry apparatus, physics setups, mathematical visualisations


• Compositing 3D graphics over presenter footage using camera\-tracked workflows in After Effects, so graphics appear to exist in the same space as Dr Lavan


• Generating SVG assets via AI \- Claude for parametric diagrams (atoms, equations, geometric apparatus), Adobe Firefly or Recraft for stylised illustrations \- then refining them in Illustrator to match our brand


• Editing the final video in Premiere Pro: talking\-head \+ animation \+ screen recording \+ audio


• Audio cleanup using Adobe Enhance

Total output across both designers: 20–30 deliverables per week. You don't need to invent the aesthetic \- it is defined, with shared asset libraries and brand tokens already in place.

The AI workflow

We're AI\-forward as a matter of standard, not experiment. Our pipeline is built around it:

• Claude \- first\-pass SVG generation for parametric scientific diagrams (atoms, molecules, formula triangles, apparatus). Also for content accuracy checks on scripts and on\-screen text.


• Adobe Firefly (in Illustrator) \- generative fill, recolour, and vector generation for stylised illustrations where Claude's geometric output isn't the right aesthetic


• Recraft \- vector graphic generation for cases where Firefly not suitable


• CodeCogs \- LaTeX\-rendered equation SVGs


• Adobe Enhance Speech \- audio cleanup


• Descript (or equivalent) \- transcript\-based editing, captions

You'll be expected to be fluent in this stack on day one. The role isn't generating from scratch in After Effects, but orchestrating AI tools to produce assets and finishing them with craft in AE, Illustrator, and Premiere.

If you don't currently use AI tools in your weekly workflow or you are not happy to learn, this role isn't right for you.

Location \& working pattern:

You edit from your own home setup using your own kit. We provide Adobe Creative Cloud licences and Claude / other AI tool subscriptions.

Expect to come to North London at least once a month for review, planning, and team sessions, building toward more as the team grows.

Required

• Demonstrable experience as a motion designer working with After Effects \- portfolio essential, with examples of animated illustrations, motion graphics, and presenter\-integration work


• Fluent in After Effects, Illustrator, and Prem Pro \- daily\-use level, not learning


• Active daily use of AI tools in your current workflow \- Claude or equivalent LLMs for asset generation, generative image/vector tools (Firefly, Recraft, Midjourney), audio tools (Adobe Enhance, Descript). You can talk specifically about which tools you reach for in which situations.


• Strong eye for parametric/procedural animation \- orbits, cycles, repeating motion with controlled variation


• Camera\-tracking and 3D\-compositing fluency in AE \- the work involves graphics that move with presenter footage


• Your own editing workstation capable of handling AE comp work (we don't provide kit)


• Reliable turnaround and low management overhead \- you take a brief and run with it

Nice to have

• Cavalry, Cinema 4D, or Blender experience for procedural / 3D work


• Plexus plugin experience for molecular / connection visualisations


• Maths or science background, or genuine comfort with the subject matter


• Experience working alongside another designer in a shared pipeline


• Experience producing in\-app or product\-facing content (vs marketing or social)

Not the right role for you if

• You don't currently use AI tools in your daily workflow or are not happy to learn how to


• You're a generalist video editor without strong motion design skills


• You need significant direction on each project


• You're looking for a creative\-lead role where you shape the visual identity (we already have one)


• You're between gigs and looking for short\-term work \- this is ongoing, full\-time, and the volume is real

Application process

• Send your portfolio plus a short note answering: *Tell us about an AI tool you've integrated into your workflow in the last six months \- what it improved, what its limitations are, and what you decided AI wasn't the right tool for.* Specific answers only. Generic answers won't progress.


• Shortlisted candidates get invited to a free practical task: from raw footage and a screen recording we provide, produce one 2\-minute polished edit with at least one custom\-animated diagram. Document the AI tools used at each stage, and flag any content errors spotted along the way.


• Final interview with Dr Lavan and our existing editor \- fit, workflow, scheduling.

Pay: £15\.00 per hour
