Illustrated Animation

Project details

What we need
  • Up to 3 short (3-5 second) animations to be used in further marketing content
  • Note: This project should NOT be used for a fully animated video, or animations longer than 5 seconds
Additional details

Digital Wish is raising $24 million to buy up hotspots and give them to children-in-need. We need a 2D/3D graphics expert to craft some super-awesome animated backgrounds for Zoom Teleconferencing meetings. They will have the Digital Wish logo embedded. Animation might also be player stat tickers, or "Donate now" for Twitter outreach.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a technical spec for making Zoom backdrops, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a few working examples, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,454 , allowing us to put more hotspots in schools!

We are working to increase our visibility on the Zoom platform because nearly all schools nationwide are using it. This will encourage Zoom to get more involved with Digital Wish and at the same time encourage schools to get more involved with Zoom.

Our mission

Bring technology to classrooms in order to prepare students to thrive in the global economy.

What we do

Digital Wish is a 501c-3 nonprofit on a mission to solve technology shortfalls in education. Every child deserves a technology-rich education to provide them with the skills necessary to thrive in the global economy. Digital Wish partners with technology providers to distribute free or reduced-cost educational technology such as refurbished laptops, tablets and internet "hotspots" to schools and teachers. Digital Wish manages a community of 64k educators in the US, assisting them with their technology needs through lesson plans, fundraiser campaigns for their "technology wishes" and access to affordable educational technology used in the classroom. Since its inception in 2006, Digital Wish has granted over 31,000 technology wishes to educators worth over $17 Million, and administered grants together with Verizon, Dell, Motorola, Henderson Foundation, and Microsoft.
