Working hours overlap
Your day is their day shift.
Sydney (AEST)9:00am
Manila (PHT)7:00am
Manila is 2 hours behind Sydney (3 in daylight saving), so your business day is a normal day shift for them.
Can they create animated explainer videos?
Yes. Creating 60–120 second animated explainer videos from storyboard to final render is a core motion design deliverable.
Can they animate our existing brand assets?
Yes. Provide your logos, brand colours, and style guide and the designer will animate them in-brand.
Do they work with Lottie for web animations?
Yes. Exporting motion as Lottie JSON for web and app use is standard for modern motion designers.
Can they do 3D animation?
Some can — 3D capability varies. Clarify your requirements during the brief and we'll match you with a candidate whose portfolio demonstrates the needed skill.
What's a typical project turnaround?
A 60-second explainer video typically takes 5–7 business days from approved storyboard to final delivery.
