Digital Animation for Podcast Artwork

Animated Podcast Intro Needed (14 Seconds) We're looking for a talented motion graphics designer to create a custom animated intro for the upcoming season of Fueled—a Fenstermaker Podcast. About the Project Fueled is a video podcast produced by Fenstermaker, an engineering, surveying, and environmental consulting firm based in Louisiana. The upcoming season focuses on power and energy infrastructure, featuring conversations with utility leaders, energy professionals, and others helping power Louisiana's future. What We Need We have already developed the visual identity and artwork for the season and are looking for a motion graphics designer to bring those assets to life through animation. The selected freelancer will be provided with existing artwork, branding assets, and creative direction. The goal is to create a custom 14-second animated intro sequence using those assets—not simply edit an existing template. The animation should feel: - Modern and professional - Premium and cinematic - Inspired by themes of energy, infrastructure, connectivity, and progress - Suitable for use across an entire podcast season We're open to creative ideas regarding animation style, pacing, transitions, and motion treatment. Assets We Can Provide - Podcast logo - Existing branding materials - Sample episodes - Creative references and direction - A PDF containing the most recent podcast artwork concepts and design drafts for review and creative reference (attached) - Layered source artwork and design assets (Adobe Illustrator files and related assets) Deliverables - Final animation in 4K and 1080p - Adobe After Effects project files (preferred) - Any fonts or assets required for future edits When Applying Please include: - Relevant portfolio examples - Examples of intro animations, title sequences, or logo animations - Estimated turnaround time - Fixed-price quote Please begin your proposal with the word "Generator" so we know you've read the full project description.
