ESP32 Embedded Firmware – Smooth Sparkler LED Animation

I am developing a wearable LED headband with a continuous, sparkler-style moving light effect. The mechanical design (SolidWorks / STEP) is fully completed and locked. This project is strictly focused on electronics and embedded firmware — no mechanical design, web, or mobile work. The goal is to implement a high-quality LED animation engine on a microcontroller (ESP32 or equivalent) that produces smooth, continuous motion around a 360° addressable LED ring (~72 LEDs). The animation must use fractional (sub-pixel) position tracking and brightness blending across adjacent LEDs — visible LED-to-LED stepping is not acceptable. Scope of Work: • Develop embedded C/C++ firmware for addressable LEDs (WS2812B / SK6812 or equivalent) • Implement continuous 360° motion with one or more moving “sparks” • Use floating-point or fixed-point math to blend brightness between adjacent LEDs • Create smooth trailing glow and subtle flicker (sparkler-style behavior) • Match motion speed and feel to provided reference visuals • Ensure clean, efficient, well-commented firmware suitable for manufacturing Deliverables: • Firmware source code • Short demo video showing slowed-down motion that clearly demonstrates sub-pixel interpolation • Brief explanation of animation logic and LED indexing • Optional: guidance on MCU/LED selection if needed Out of Scope: • Mechanical CAD • PCB layout • Mobile apps or cloud connectivity This project requires experience with embedded systems, microcontroller programming, and addressable LED animation. Please do not apply if your background is primarily web or mobile development.

Whiteboard, 2D or Motion animation required

I will need a simple but effective way to market my product. I was thinking maybe 2D animation or motion graphics would be a more modern style of animation to explain my product, and I was wondering what is the most popular method to use? I need to be able to send the animation using WhatsApp and also use it on my website. I may require just one or possibly even several of these. What type of animation technique do you suggest? Please send me some examples in your reply.

Reels for social media

Example reference style: A reel featuring animated text popping on screen, smooth transitions, dynamic motion design, and visually engaging graphics — similar to viral Instagram motion reel content.

Digital projection/motion Designer – Dystopian 'Wizard of Oz'

The Project: Our performing arts college is deep into rehearsals for The Yellow Path—a high-concept, dystopian reimagining of The Wizard of Oz (opening March 2026). The setting is OzCorp: a 1950s "pretty prison" theme park where the Wizard uses vintage-style ads and TV screens to enforce "happiness." We have already completed a significant portion of the visual designs and video assets. However, due to a shift in our artistic vision, we need a designer to step in immediately to tweak existing assets and create a few select new pieces to ensure the look is cohesive. What Needs Doing: We have very clear ideas and existing examples to guide you. The workload involves: Refining Existing Work: Adjusting current projections and videos to match our updated "OzCorp" branding. This includes updating the Wizard’s castle interior and specific signage. New Asset Creation: Developing a 1950s house caught in a digital cyclone, a "processed" Munchkinland cornfield with a broken 1950s sign, and a haunted metallic forest littered with tech salvage. The Aesthetic: A blend of 1950s "perfect" Americana (think vintage Coca-Cola or soap ads) mixed with dark, industrial decay. The Ideal Candidate: Fast & Collaborative: We need a quick turnaround. I have the reference images and the vision ready—I just need your technical skills to bring them to the finish line. Skilled in Revision: You should be comfortable taking existing files/concepts and "plus-ing" them to match a specific brief. Pro-Level Output: While this is a school production, our standards are professional and reputable. Budget & Opportunity: As this is an educational production, our budget is limited, but the production value is extremely high. This is an ideal project for an artist looking for a high-concept, professional portfolio piece. Success here will lead to a go-to partnership for our future theatre seasons. To Apply: Please share your portfolio and confirm how quickly you can start. SEE RIGHT HAND COLUMN OF ATTACHED DOC. 12 in total
