Contract Mobile Motion Designer (UI Interactions)

Commitment: 4 Initial Deliverables (Fixed Milestone), extending to 20 hrs/week for 3-6 months. Budget for 4 initial deliverables: $1,400 - $2,000 USD ($350 - $500 per deliverable milestone). Turnaround: 10 to 14 days for initial package.

About NiteOut: NiteOut is a consumer social mobile app combining real-world nightlife discovery with 3D virtual spaces and music. All screens, tokens, and UI components are organized in Figma.

Initial Scope of Work (4 Motion Deliverables):

• FTUX Onboarding to Home Transition (<1.5s): A continuous, cut-free choreographic transition from the "Connect Spotify" signup card into Home. As the card releases downward and fades, the ambient nocturnal aurora blooms awake in the background. The Home feed blurs up from depth, sharpens into place, and the final confirmed plan card lands last with a natural inertia bounce.
  
  

• Virtual Space Entry (Portal Transition): Motion sequence triggered when tapping from the mobile feed/event card into a live 3D virtual venue. Atmospheric camera zoom and depth warp that shifts the user seamlessly from 2D UI into the spatial environment.
  
  In-Venue Arcade Initiation (Tetris): Dynamic launch transition when a user initiates a Tetris mini-game inside a 3D Unity venue, designed to transition the user from initiation in the 3D Unity venue into the on-screen game UI for playing the game. Modern nocturnal UI treatment integrating retro block-drop visual cues, neon accent pulses, and HUD lock-in.
  
  

• In-Venue Arcade Initiation (Pac-Man): Dynamic launch transition when a user initiates Pac-Man inside a 3D Unity venue, designed to transition the user from initiation in the 3D Unity venue into the on-screen game UI for playing the game. Sound-reactive neon styling, fluid ghost/dot visual accents, and seamless arcade cabinet overlay entry.

Technical Deliverables per Asset:

• 60 fps Master Video (ProRes 4444 with alpha where applicable, plus H.264 MP4).

• Numbered frame-by-frame PNG sequence (e.g., frame_0001.png to frame_0090.png) at 1170x2532 px.

• Native source files (After Effects, Fable, or Rive).

Candidate Requirements:

• Portfolio demonstrating high-end mobile UI choreo, dark-mode aesthetics, and spatial/3D camera moves.

• Mastery of custom easing curves (spring physics, cubic beziers) without linear or robotic interpolation.

• Experience prepping production-ready asset sequences for iOS, Android, and Unity engineering teams.
