Cinematic 3D Artist Needed for Science Documentary Intro (Space, Earth & Physics Visualization)

We are creating a documentary series exploring physics and the universe through cinematic storytelling and scientific visualization. I'm looking for a talented 3D artist to help create the opening sequence and establish the visual style for the series. The project combines realistic 3D animation with high-resolution physics simulations that have been developed. The goal is to create beautiful, cinematic visuals that introduce the concepts before transitioning into the simulations. The first project will consist of approximately 60–90 seconds of cinematic animation and several reusable visual assets, including scenes such as: A cinematic journey through deep space Galaxies, stars, and nebulae Earth viewed from orbit Smooth, cinematic camera movement Realistic lighting and rendering In addition, we'd like to create several conceptual animations that help illustrate physical ideas, including: A vibrating guitar string A string tied into a knot Ripples expanding across a pond after a stone is dropped A tornado or vortex forming Additional natural phenomena that fit the visual style These animations will be integrated with real scientific simulations throughout the documentary, so I'm looking for visuals that feel elegant, immersive, and believable. Style I'm looking for a cinematic style that emphasizes: Photorealistic environments Beautiful lighting Smooth camera movement Natural motion A sense of scale and wonder High production quality Inspirations include productions such as Cosmos, along with the cinematic realism of films like Interstellar. Artists are welcome to use Blender, Maya, Houdini, Cinema 4D, Unreal Engine, or other professional software. I'm primarily interested in achieving the highest-quality final result rather than any specific software package. This is the first phase of what I expect to become a larger documentary series, so I'm looking for someone who enjoys creating beautiful visuals and is interested in building a longer-term creative collaboration.
