Micro-internship brief ≈10h across 2 days — storyboard and build, then publish and iterate on feedbacklow-code

Animate a 10-second logo sting

Motion design is the most-requested upgrade to every brand kit. Storyboard an 8-15 second animated intro ("sting") on paper, generate its visual assets with AI, and build the motion yourself with free tools — then iterate on a real viewer’s reaction.

The work brief

  1. 01Pick the subject (a YouTube channel, your club, a brand from your earlier missions) and define the feeling in 3 words.
  2. 02Storyboard on paper first: 4-6 frames showing what enters, moves, and lands where. Photograph it.
  3. 03Generate the visual assets — backgrounds, textures, logo treatments — with an AI image tool. Keep only what serves your 3 words; discard the rest.
  4. 04Build the motion: Canva animations, CapCut keyframes, or any free motion tool. Sound/music optional but scores.
  5. 05Export, upload publicly, and iterate once after showing it to someone (record what they said).

What you’ll produce

3 deliverables

Submission standard

Submit the storyboard photo, the public video link, and your production notes with the feedback iteration, plus your AI workflow. Write today's date on your paper storyboard, and add a screenshot of your motion-editor timeline showing your account name and date.

  • Photo of your paper storyboard (drawn before building)

    Photo of your hand-drawn storyboard with today's date written on the paper — its frames must correspond to what actually happens in the video. Undated or non-matching storyboards fail.

    Image uploadRequired

  • Public link to the finished sting (YouTube/Drive public)

    Must be a live, publicly playable link (YouTube/Drive public) to YOUR finished sting — a private, dead, or unrelated link fails, and the motion must match your storyboard.

    Public linkRequired

  • How you built it, what one viewer said, and what you changed after

    Written responseRequired

You’ll complete these inside your private workspace.

What you must submit as proof

This brief requires evidence an AI can’t fabricate.

  • Screenshot of your OWN motion editor (Canva/CapCut) timeline — account name and today's date visible

    Show the real editing timeline/keyframes of your build with your username and system date — proves you built the motion, not AI-generated the whole clip.

    Image uploadRequired

Submissions without this evidence cannot be submitted.

Protect other people in your proof. Blur faces, names, phone numbers and email addresses before you upload, and refer to anyone you worked with by role or number ("Listener 1", "the stall owner"). Your proof is only ever used to check your work — it is never published, never appears on your certificate, and is never shown in your public portfolio.

How your work is evaluated

The passing benchmark is 70/100.

Storyboarded first

14%

The paper storyboard predates and matches the final animation.

Motion craft

29%

Movement has intent — timing, easing, a clear landing moment.

Feedback iteration

29%

A real viewer’s feedback led to a real change.

Built and first-party

29%

Auto-fail if the video link is dead/private, if the timeline screenshot is missing, or if the dated storyboard does not correspond to the final animation.

How we grade your AI usage

30% of your score

Using AI is the point — it’s the skill this certificate proves. You’ll answer three short questions about how you used it: what you asked, what was wrong with its first answer, and what you changed. Specific, honest answers score high. “I pasted the brief and submitted the answer” scores near zero.
