· Create and update UI micro-interactions and animated assets for digital products.

2. Generative AI Experimentation & Integration

· Actively research and test cutting-edge Gen AI tools (for image, video, and text generation) to identify potential applications in pre-production (storyboarding, concept art), production (backgrounds, effects), and post-production (style transfer, quick edits).

· Develop proofs-of-concept (POCs) to demonstrate innovative ways to integrate AI-generated assets or processes into our motion and video workflows.

· Document and present findings, workflows, and insights on the creative and efficiency gains enabled by AI.

3. Creative Collaboration & Support

· Collaborate closely with content creators, product managers, and designers to translate marketing goals into compelling visual stories.

· Participate actively in creative reviews, contributing constructive feedback and iterating on personal work.

Highly Advantageous

· Prior hands-on experience in filmmaking or videography, including cinematography, sound design, or directing.
