Finding a quality freelance motion designer that’s available for you project is not an easy task. If you’re struggling to find freelance motion designers and animators hopefully you will find this article useful.

Search For Freelance Motion Designers With Google

As you probably know, Google is the most popular search engine on the internet. Some people even think the internet itself is Google!

So, if you you’re trying to find a freelance motion designer or animator for your project, Google is one of the best places to start.

Just be aware that motion designers have a few different names and titles. These include, ‘animator’, ‘motion graphics designer’ and simply ‘motion designer’.

Also make sure to include the location of the freelance motion designer you’re looking for, if that’s important to you. For example, if you’re based in Leeds, you could search something like ‘freelance motion designers and animators based in Leeds’.

Use LinkedIn to Find Freelance Motion Designers

LinkedIn is a superb free resource for finding freelance motion designers & animators. LinkedIn has a robust search functionality that allows you to filter for location, language, industry and more.

Another benefit of using LinkedIn to find freelance motion designers, is that you get to look through the profiles and check out the experience and educational background of the designer.

In addition to this, LinkedIn has the Skills & Endorsements and Recommendations sections, this allows you to view the ‘reviews’ of the freelance motion designers past clients and peers.

Post Your Animation Projects to Job Boards

Freelance motion designers have many ways of acquiring work and job boards are a popular one. I use a few job boards to get work but amongst my favourites are Indeed and Motionographer.

The beauty of Job Boards is that you simply post up your project and the job board does the work of attracting freelance motion designers to you.

Utilise Recruitment Agencies

Whilst job boards can be great and get you the freelance motion designer that you need, one downside is that you’ll need to filter through potentially hundreds of applicants for your project.

You will get enquiries from world class freelance motion designers as well as low quality and inexperienced freelance motion designers.

This is where recruitment agencies can perhaps come to the rescue. A good recruiter will have done the work on filtering out all the low-quality freelance motion designers and send you the ideal designer you need for your animation project.

Of course you will be expected to pay for that service but at least it frees you from having to do the work of searching and you can concentrate on other activities.
