Animator for short Website banner animation (6-8 secs)

Project Overview We are looking for an experienced motion graphics artist to create a short, premium-quality animation for the hero section of our website. The animation should communicate the concept of engineering intent flowing through the Authentise platform and being transformed into manufacturing-ready output. The overall style should feel clean, modern and high-end, similar to the visual language used by companies such as Apple, Autodesk or NVIDIA. The animation will be displayed on a website homepage, so it should loop seamlessly and not rely on audio. --- ## Animation Length * Total duration: **approx 6 seconds** * Must be designed to **loop smoothly** with no obvious start or end point. * Output should be suitable for continuous playback on a website. --- ## Scene Description The scene takes place against a completely black background. A premium-looking laptop sits slightly angled towards the viewer. The laptop screen displays an Authentise software dashboard (we will provide the dashboard video). Hovering approximately 20–30 cm in front of the laptop is a detailed metallic 3D engineering part (not provided). The part should slowly float in place with subtle movement to make the scene feel alive. --- ## Animation Sequence ### 1. Idle * Laptop already powered on * Dashboard visible * 3D part hovering gently * Very subtle camera push-in or cinematic movement ### 2. Incoming Data A glowing blue data stream begins from the left side of the screen and towards the 3d parts. Rather than simply appearing, it should travel as an animated pulse along a thin glowing line towards the floating part. The effect should resemble energy or information moving through a digital pipeline. ### 3. Part Activation When the blue pulse reaches the 3D part: * the part briefly glows orange * the glow should spread naturally across the model * the effect should last roughly 0.3–0.5 seconds The goal is to communicate that the software has processed or transformed the engineering data. ### 4. Outgoing Result Immediately after the activation: A glowing orange line exits from the opposite side of the part and towards the opposite side of the screen before fading out. Again, this should be an animated travelling pulse rather than a line simply appearing. The outgoing orange pulse represents manufacturing-ready output. ### 5. Return to Idle The orange pulse exits frame. The part returns to its normal appearance. The camera continues its gentle movement until the animation loops back to the beginning without a noticeable jump. --- ## Visual Style We are looking for something that feels: * Premium * Minimal * Modern * Technical * Cinematic Think: * Apple product videos * Autodesk product launches * NVIDIA presentations * High-end SaaS website animations The scene should avoid excessive effects or busy visuals. Simplicity is key. --- ## Colour Palette * Background: black * Dashboard: white/grey UI with subtle blue accents * Incoming data: blue glow * Activated part: orange glow * Outgoing data: orange glow The blue and orange should be the primary visual focus. --- ## Assets We Will Provide * Authentise dashboard artwork or screen recording * Company branding * Brand colours --- ## Deliverables Please provide: * Final animation (6 seconds) * Seamlessly looping version * 4K master (3840 × 2160) * Optimised web version (MP4/WebM if possible) * DaVinci Resolve project or source files (preferred) * Any external assets used (where licensing permits) --- ## Preferred Skills We're looking for someone experienced with: * DaVinci Resolve (Fusion) * Blender (optional but welcome) * Motion graphics * Product visualisation * Cinematic lighting * Clean UI animation --- ## When Applying Please include: * Examples of similar product animations or SaaS hero animations * Motion graphics portfolio * Estimated turnaround time * Fixed project price We're looking for someone with a strong eye for detail who can produce an animation that immediately conveys innovation, precision and modern manufacturing.
