## Animated App Explainer Video – Nurture UAE We are looking for a talented **motion graphics / animation designer** to create a short, professional explainer video for our childcare app, **Nurture UAE**. ### About Nurture Nurture is an app designed to help parents and nannies/caregivers stay connected throughout a child's day. Parents and caregivers can share daily care updates, communicate through the app and access tools including activities, meals & recipes, learning resources and more. ### What we want to create We would like a **60–90 second animated explainer video** demonstrating how Nurture works. The video will be narrated by our existing owl mascot, **Nuri**. Nuri should become an animated character who **flies/moves around the screen, talks to the viewer and points towards different areas of the Nurture app interface** as they are being explained. We will provide the original Nuri mascot artwork and access/screenshots/screen recordings of the app. ### Example flow The video should demonstrate: **1. Parent joins Nurture** Nuri introduces the app while the Nurture interface appears on screen. **2. Connecting a caregiver** Show how a parent creates/connects their account and invites their nanny or caregiver to join their family. Nuri flies alongside the interface and points towards the relevant buttons/actions. **3. Daily Care** Show how the nanny can record things such as: • Meals • Naps • Activities • Photos • Mood/care updates And how the parent can see these updates during their day. **4. Messaging** Demonstrate parent–caregiver messaging and Nurture's translation functionality. **5. Activities** Show the activity section and how caregivers can find age-appropriate activity ideas for the child. **6. Meals & Recipes** Briefly demonstrate the recipe/meal features available to caregivers. **7. Nanny Learning** Show the learning resources available to help caregivers build their knowledge and skills. **8. Ending** Bring Nuri back prominently on screen alongside Nurture branding and a simple CTA: **Your child's day. All in one place.** **Download Nurture UAE – available on the App Store & Google Play.** ### Style we're looking for The finished video should feel **premium, modern, friendly and professional**. Nuri should add personality and warmth, but we don't want the video to feel overly childish. The primary audience is **parents of young children in the UAE**. We would particularly like someone who can combine: • 2D character animation • Motion graphics • App/UI animation • Screen recordings • Professional transitions • Voiceover/narration syncing • Sound effects/background music Nuri's existing design and colours **must remain consistent with our supplied mascot** rather than being redesigned or replaced with a generic AI-generated owl. ### Deliverables • Final 60–90 second explainer video • Vertical **9:16 version** for Instagram/Reels/TikTok • Landscape **16:9 version** for website/YouTube • High-resolution MP4 files • Animated Nuri mascot • Background music/sound design • Subtitles/on-screen captions • Source/project files where possible We can provide the Nurture branding, mascot artwork, app screenshots/screen recordings and guidance on the features that need to be demonstrated. ### When applying Please send examples of **app explainer videos, UI animations or character animation** you've previously created. If possible, please also explain how you would approach animating our existing owl mascot alongside screen recordings of the Nurture app. We're looking for someone who can take the concept and turn it into a polished, engaging video rather than simply assembling screenshots into a slideshow.

### Description **Experience Level:** Intermediate I'm looking for an animator to create a short conversational film for a new software product. The film is built around two recurring characters having a conversation. I already have the complete script and visual references for both characters. **The visual style is important.** The characters have a simple, sculpted clay appearance. They are slightly abstract human figures with a tactile, moulded quality. Think simple clay character animation or stop-motion-inspired 3D rather than conventional flat cartoon characters. They do not need to match my reference images exactly, but I do want the finished characters to feel dimensional, tactile and recognisably part of the same visual world as the references. **I am not looking for a standard 2D explainer-video style, flat vector characters, paper/cut-out animation, whiteboard animation or stock/template cartoon characters.** The animation itself can be relatively simple. Most of the film is a conversation between the same two characters, so I am looking for someone who can make that interaction feel natural and engaging through: * consistent character design throughout * posture, gesture and simple facial or body expression * good dialogue timing so it is always clear who is speaking * natural reactions between the two characters * a small amount of supporting visual movement or scene changes where useful * a clean, polished overall finish The finished film will be approximately 2-3 minutes long. I am open to different production methods, including AI-assisted workflows, 3D, 2.5D or other efficient approaches. **What matters to me is the finished visual result rather than the technology used to create it.** If you use AI, the two characters still need to remain visually consistent throughout the film. I can provide: * the complete script * visual references for both characters * product visuals * voice tracks if useful for production **Before applying, please look carefully at the character reference images.** Please send me one or two examples of work you have personally created that is genuinely relevant to this style, ideally involving dimensional or clay-like characters and character dialogue. Please do not send a general animation showreel if it is mainly flat 2D explainer animation. I would rather see one relevant example. I am working within a modest budget, so please also explain briefly how you would approach producing this efficiently. ### Deliverable Finished 1080p video suitable for use on a website and social media, including one reasonable round of revisions.

Animated logo with a strapline and sound.
**We do have an MP4 animated logo if this can be adapted** My colleague had an animated logo built for us - we absolutely love it but can't remember who made it for us. We need something very similar - the effect that it is on glass is very important to us. We want to use it as a teaser - with a strap line under it ''Fenestrology Reinvented - Coming January 2027'' I have shared with a file to download showing the logo as shared with them and the MP4 they produced. Please advise a price and how soon this could be done. Thanks in advance. Andy https://fenestrology.fromsmash.com/PSWMKz2q~s-bt
Modern Logo Animation & Motion Package for Mobile App
I now have a logo design and source files and am searching for an experienced animator/video editor to create several versions of an animated logo/intro logo for a mobile app. Below is the EXACT animation i'm looking to achieve, if you're unable to deliver this, that's completely understandable, however, I am looking for this specific result, Have a read through and see if you feel this is a project you can deliver on. Sequence Title: The "Lock-In" Sweep Sound Effect (Haptic): Subtle mechanical tick ---> bass drop / "snap" sound. Phase 1: The Gauge Charging Screen State: Opens on a dark teal/mint background (#081C19 or dark mint fade) Action: The circular inner target ring appears first, glowing softly. Motion: The arrow/needle inside the emblem rapidly sweeps clockwise from 9 o'clock around toward 1 o'clock (mimicking an event meter reaching its threshold/tipping point). Phase 2: The "Threshold" Lock Action: As the needle hits the diagonal slot, the entire emblem snaps shut into its full shield shape. Visual Effect: A brief, vibrant Sea Green glow pulse or subtle chromatic aberration ripple radiates outward from the center node, signaling: "Threshold Hit. It's Official."Tactile Feel: A firm, crisp haptic vibration on the user's phone right when it locks into place. Phase 3: Wordmark Unfold & Scale-Out Action: The emblem shifts slightly to the left while the letters "T-h-r-e-s-h" wipe in from left to right directly behind the emblem using a smooth spring curve easing (cubic-bezier). Use cubic-bezier (0.175, 0.885, 0.32, 1.275) for the final snap—it gives the geometric pieces a mechanical, tactile "pop" instead of a flat linear slide.Sound Pairing: A brief synth "whoosh" that finishes with a clean, low-frequency digital click/lock in sound. Transition: The full logo scales down by about 10% with a slight 3D spring bounce and seamlessly transitions into the main app dashboard. Lottie / Rive animation to build this is preferred. Would like you to provide the animation in the following 3-4 versions: Version 1 (Standard Splash): 1.2–1.4s duration. Full sequence (Charge ----> Lock-In ----> Wordmark reveal). Delivered as Lottie (.json) and Rive (.riv). Version 2 (Micro-Snap): 0.6–0.8s duration. Ultra-fast, stripped-back version for in-app UI triggers. Delivered as Lottie (.json) and Rive (.riv). Version 3 (Social/Ad Sting): 3.0–4.0s duration. High-impact version holding on screen with tagline space for marketing. Delivered as 1080x1920 MP4 (Vertical) and 1920x1080 MP4 (Horizontal). Version 4 (Master Video Files): High-res .MOV with Alpha Channel (Transparent background) for video editing overlay. If you're able to deliver this project as described above, Please message me attaching any logo animation projects you've completed.

3D Animated Greeting Cards for Three.js (A5 Pack)
Project Overview: We are seeking an experienced 3D Modeler and Animator to build two separate interactive greeting card asset packs—one Portrait configuration and one Landscape configuration. These will be integrated into a live WebGL (Three.js) product customiser. Each pack must contain a greeting card that begins tucked inside an envelope. Users will dynamically overlay their own images and text onto the panels via 2D canvas data streams.Key Requirements & Technical Specifications:Geometry & Hierarchy Structure: Provide two completely separate master folders (one for Portrait, one for Landscape). Each file must contain: The Envelope: Must consist of a main pocket (Envelope_Body) and an openable flap (Envelope_Flap). It must feature a dedicated exterior material channel named Envelope_Front. The Greeting Card: A standard low-poly sheet rigged to bend cleanly in half along a center spine. It must feature four distinct, named material zones: Card_Front, Card_Inside_Left (or Inside_Top for landscape), Card_Inside_Right (or Inside_Bottom), and Card_Back.UV Mapping (Crucial - ISO A5/A4 Proportions): To allow seamless web texture projection without stretching or distortion, all UV coordinates must be unwrapped perfectly flat and snap exactly to the 0-1 texture grid bounds. Portrait Asset Pack: The 4 card panels and the envelope front must be mapped as vertical rectangles conforming strictly to the 1 width to 1.414 height aspect ratio (ISO A5). Landscape Asset Pack: The 4 card panels and the envelope front must be mapped as horizontal rectangles conforming strictly to the 1.414 width to 1 height aspect ratio (ISO A5). Rigging & Sequence Animation: The asset must contain a single, cleanly baked timeline animation track broken into a distinct, chronological sequence: Phase 1 (Frames 0 to X): The envelope sits closed. The Envelope_Flap hinges open realistically. Phase 2 (Frames X to Y): The greeting card smoothly slides out of the envelope pocket along the Y-axis. Phase 3 (Frames Y to Z): The greeting card stands independently and hinges open along its center spine fold to reveal the inside panels. Geometry must not clip, overlap, or exhibit visual artifacts at any stage of the sequence. Deliverables: Fully organized source files (Blender .blend or Maya .mb).Production-ready .GLB and .gITF files with fully baked animation tracks and cleanly exposed material names. This is a work-for-hire project. Upon full milestone payment, the buyer retains 100% full commercial rights, copyright, and ownership of the assets, including the right to resell them as templates on commercial marketplaces. To Apply:Please share portfolio examples demonstrating your experience with low-poly web props, interactive product customisers, or custom skeletal rigging for real-time web applications (Three.js/BabylonJS).

AE motion graphics animation integrate with Cinema 4D
I’m looking for help with an After Effects motion graphics project. The concept, creative direction and storyboard are already prepared, so the work is mainly focused on the animation rather than developing the idea from scratch. The project uses a 2D dot/pixel-style visual system inspired by Nothing’s graphic language. The After Effects animation will eventually connect with separate Cinema 4D scenes, but the work required is primarily in After Effects. I can provide more details and the storyboard once we have discussed the project and agreed on the scope. As the direction is already established, I expect this to be a relatively quick job for someone experienced with After Effects. Could you let me know your availability and whether you would be open to agreeing a fixed price rather than an hourly rate?
