2D Animator Artist (Packed Animation)

I am looking for a motion designer/animator to collaborate with on a premium beauty brand. The first assignment involves creating a short logo animation that will be used on social media, educational materials, intro/outro for videos, and brand communication. I care about a minimalist, modern, and refined aesthetic. I like realistic lighting, subtle movement, soft transitions, reflections, and a premium effect. I am not looking for cheap animation from a ready-made template. If the first assignment goes well, I would like to continue collaborating on further projects, including: • realistic animations of professional beauty products, • short product animations for social media and the website, • animations overlaying educational videos, • animations showing how a photo-taking app works, • simple motion design for brand communication. The budget provided below pertains to the first assignment, which is the short logo animation. Subsequent projects will be priced separately. The materials will be used on social media, the website, in educational and product materials. I have a brand book, visual direction, inspirations, and ideas. I will send the selected person the logo, brand materials, and a more detailed brief to ensure the animation aligns with the brand's aesthetic. I am looking for someone who can sense the brand's style and with whom a longer collaboration on future animation projects will be possible. In your application, please include: • portfolio or examples of similar work, • an estimated price for the short logo animation, • estimated completion time, • information on which programs you work with, • information on whether you are interested in regular collaboration on future projects for my brands.

The website https://cryptotest.01g.info/ needs to be refined by adding modern and unobtrusive animations to make it look more lively and interesting, but without overloading it. Main tasks: Add light animations on scroll (appearance of blocks, smooth movement of elements); Use minimalist decorative elements (lines, icons, geometric shapes, light accents), if appropriate; Create smooth hover effects for buttons and cards; If desired, add light parallax or animated background elements. The main goal is to make the website more dynamic and engaging for viewing, so that users find it interesting to scroll through the page, while maintaining a minimalist style, high loading speed, and not overloading the interface.

Animation of a dialogue between two characters based on a ready image Important note for the performer: This video is a pilot. In case of successful execution and long-term alignment on quality/deadlines, we are looking for an author for ongoing monthly collaboration. The project is long-term, with plans for regular release of similar videos. 1. General description of the task It is necessary to "bring to life" two animated characters from a static image. The characters should engage in a dialogue based on the provided audio track/text. The animation style should be restrained, natural, with an emphasis on precise lip synchronization (Lip Sync). The use of AI tools (LivePortrait, Hedra, SadTalker, etc.) is encouraged. 2. Source materials Visual reference: Image image.png / image.psd Audio materials: Voiceover of the dialogue Text materials: Dialogue script with time codes 3. Technical requirements for the finished video File format: MP4 (codec H.264). Resolution: 1920×1080 (Full HD, 16:9) Frame rate: 24 or 25 FPS. Timing: Corresponds to the duration of the audio track [2 min]. 4. Animation requirements (Setup and Dynamics) The animation should be minimalist, without sharp and exaggerated movements. Facial animation (Facial expressions and Lip Sync): The main priority is the accurate matching of lip movements with the spoken text (articulation should look natural). Minimal eyebrow movement to convey basic emotions (surprise, agreement, emphasis on an important word). Natural blinking of the eyes (not too frequent, random). Body movements and gestures: Minimal head nodding in sync with speech or as a sign of agreement/disagreement with the interlocutor. Micro-movements of the shoulders during inhalation/position change. Hand gestures should be rare and justified (for example, a light hand gesture to emphasize a thought). In static moments, the hands rest. Interaction: The characters' gazes during speech should be directed at each other or slightly at the viewer (depending on the composition of the original frame). The listening character should not "freeze": a reaction to the speaker's words is necessary (a slight nod, facial response). 5. Approval and revision process Stage 1: Approval of the layer cuts (if separation of characters from the background is required) and animatic (rough sketch of movements). Stage 2: Demonstration of the final rendering. Appendix: Dialogue script (Example of filling) 0:00 — 0:05 | Character 1 (left): "Hi! Have you seen the new graphics?" (Slight nod, neutral-friendly facial expression). 0:05 — 0:12 | Character 2 (right): "Yes, and to be honest, they scare me a little." (Raises eyebrows, slightly tilts head to the side). Mandatory use of specialized tools such as Runway Gen-2, Luma Dream Machine, or Pika, and for precise matching of speech and lips (Lip Sync) use tools like SadTalker, LivePortrait, or HeyGen.

It is necessary to create a short intro and outro for the media project "Guardians" — the battalion of unmanned systems 36th OBMP.Intro Duration: 5–6 seconds. Concept: The screen shows the sky, with the sound of wind. A bird (the symbol of "Guardians") appears, flying towards the camera. The sky gradually darkens. The bird freezes and transforms (or smoothly transitions) into the logo. Three stars appear with a characteristic metallic sound ("ding"). The final shot is the logo GUARDIANS.Outro Duration: 4–6 seconds. The logo "Guardians". Light animation. Simple atmospheric sound accompaniment. Ending on a static logo.Style Modern military-tech. No pomp and unnecessary special effects. Atmosphere of professionalism, technological advancement, and calmness.

At the beginning of the work, there will likely be revisions, as we need to establish a unified style and achieve the highest quality result. Our products are made from natural wood, so it is very important to realistically convey the texture of the wood, the quality of the materials, the premium appearance of the products, and their actual proportions. People in the frame should also look as natural and realistic as possible. I am attaching examples of videos that fully meet our expectations. I am looking for a specialist who can create videos that are not only as good but even higher quality, more interesting, and as realistic as possible. Product categories: wooden beer and whiskey mugs; wooden kitchen spatulas; cutting and serving boards. In your response, please include: examples of your AI videos; the cost of creating one video; estimated completion times.
