Posted 3 weeks ago

Summary

We are building a mascot-driven mobile app and need an experienced Lottie / After Effects / Bodymovin animator to fix our current bee animation system ASAP. Our homepage bee is currently animated using a frame-based setup, likely a PNG sequence displayed one frame at a time. This does not work for our wearable/customization system because we need accessories to stay correctly positioned on the bee while the bee remains animated. We cannot make the bee static. The bee must stay animated, and the final animation system needs to support layered wearable items. What we need: We need someone who can take our existing bee animation assets and either: Convert the current frame-based bee animation into clean Lottie JSON, or Recreate the bee animation in After Effects and export it properly through Bodymovin/Lottie. The goal is to preserve the current bee style, movement, timing, and personality as closely as possible while making the animation usable for our developer to build the wearable system. Wearable system requirements: The animation must allow our developer to accurately place accessories on the bee, including: Watch on the left hand Bracelet on the right hand Future accessories such as hats, glasses, and other wearable items Proper alignment across the animation so items do not look detached or randomly floating The animation should be structured cleanly enough for mobile implementation and layering. Current problem: Our developer confirmed that the current homepage bee animation is a set of PNG images shown one by one to look animated. This makes wearable placement very difficult. We need a proper Lottie JSON animation that can be integrated into the app and used with the wearable/customization system. Deliverables: Clean Lottie JSON file/files for the bee animation Any required supporting assets Properly named/exported files A version that preserves the current bee movement and style Confirmation that the Lottie works for mobile app implementation Quick communication with our developer if needed Timeline: This is urgent. We need this completed today / within less than 24 hours. Please only apply if you can start immediately and work quickly. We are not looking for a long multi-day animation project. We need someone who understands Lottie and can solve this fast. Requirements: Strong experience with Lottie JSON Strong experience with Adobe After Effects Experience exporting with Bodymovin Experience with character/mascot animation Experience converting PNG/GIF/frame-based animations into Lottie Ability to preserve an existing animation style Ability to communicate clearly and move fast When applying, please include: Examples of Lottie animations you have created or converted Whether you can start immediately Whether you can complete this within less than 24 hours Your approach for converting a PNG/frame-based mascot animation into Lottie for a wearable system
