Custom motion design and animation — find a motion designer
People order motion design when graphics need to move: an animated logo for a YouTube channel, a social media ad or a video that explains your service in a minute. Describe the task in an order — motion designers will send responses. Or pick one whose portfolio frames and storyboards you like.

How much an animated video costs
What affects the price
Video length
Animation is often priced per second of finished video: a short clip for Stories and an explainer several minutes long are very different amounts of work.
Animation technique
Kinetic typography and flat infographics are simpler than character animation, while frame-by-frame animation and 3D scenes take the most work.
New or ready-made graphics
If characters, icons and backgrounds have to be drawn first, that is a separate stage; with vector files and a brand book ready, there is less work.
Script and storyboard
A script, a storyboard and an animatic — a rough version of the video with timing — are often charged separately from the animation itself.
Voice-over and music
A narrator, licensed music and sound effects are usually paid for separately, and animating to a finished voice-over needs precise syncing.
Prices come from specialists' profiles on Nexperity and update automatically. You agree the final price with the specialist directly.

How to choose a motion designer
- 1
A showreel is just a shop window
A showreel gathers the flashiest seconds from different projects. Ask for a full video similar to yours, judge its pacing and transitions, and check whether a viewer has time to read the text.
- 2
Their part in team videos
Several people work on a studio video. Ask what exactly this designer did in the work shown: the characters, the animation or just the titles.
- 3
Approval stage by stage
Agree to approve the script and storyboard first, before the animation starts: fixing an animatic is easier than reworking finished scenes.
- 4
Formats for your platforms
Check whether you will get a horizontal version for YouTube and a vertical one for Reels, a logo on a transparent background or a Lottie file for your website.
- 5
Source files and music
Ask whether you will receive the project's working files for future edits, and whether the music in the video may be used in advertising.
What to put in the order
What you need: a logo animation, an ad video, an explainer video or infographics
Where you will show the video: social media, YouTube, a website, a presentation or a screen at an event
The desired length and formats: horizontal, vertical or square
What you already have: a script, narration text, a vector logo, a brand book, illustrations
Two or three examples of animation in a style you like
Payment, deadline and whether you need a voice-over and music
Questions about Nexperity
How Nexperity works — separately for clients and for specialists
For clients
Nothing. Searching for specialists, sending requests, posting orders and receiving responses are free.
No. You agree the price and the payment method with the specialist and pay them directly. Nexperity does not take payments and is not a party to your deal.
A request goes to one specialist — from their profile. An order is posted for everyone: specialists send you responses, and you choose which one to accept.
How the specialist will do the task, a price — fixed, a range, hourly or “on request” — and, optionally, an estimated timeline.
30 days from publication: all that time it is visible in the feed and specialists can send responses. The exact end date and time are shown on the order in your account. From that moment the order is closed and a response can no longer be accepted. You can cancel it earlier, and if no specialist turned up, post a new one.
Yes: you can hide your name and photo in an order. The anonymity lasts until acceptance — the specialist whose response you accept sees your name and photo. The task description is public: anyone visiting the site can read it.
Only after acceptance — when you accept their response or they accept your request. And only the contacts you chose to show.
After acceptance you see the contacts the specialist chose to show, and they see the ones you chose. You can also message on Nexperity when the chat is on: on an order you decide that, on a direct request the specialist does.
Once the work is done, mark the order or the collaboration completed in your account — then you can say whether you recommend the specialist. A review can only be left for a collaboration that happened through Nexperity: one per specialist, which you can change or delete at any time.
For specialists
Nothing for now: this is the free period, and no subscription is needed yet. Nexperity takes no commission on deals — you settle with the client directly.
Sign up, fill in your specialist profile and add your services — each with a category, a description and a price. Once the profile is complete, it appears in search and on the category pages.
Two ways: clients send you requests from your profile, which you can accept or decline; and you see public orders in your categories in your account and can respond to them.
You describe how you will do the task and give a price and, optionally, a timeline. The client compares responses and accepts one.
Contacts set to “Public” are visible to everyone on your profile. A client sees contacts set to “After connection” once you accept their request or they accept your response. “Hidden” ones are not revealed in new connections: a contact already revealed to a client stays visible to them.
Each service has a fixed price, a range, an hourly rate or “on request”. Prices show on your profile and in search results, and you agree the final price with the client.
Through search and the category pages of your services. The order depends on your clients' reviews — how many of them recommend you — and in search also on how well your services match the query.
A photo, a description, your region and way of working — online or in person — your contacts and a portfolio: photos of your work, each with a short caption if you like.
A client leaves a review after completed work, and only for a collaboration through Nexperity: they say whether they recommend you and may add a few words. Each client counts once, however many times you work together.
