Motion designer needed — 2-3 second animated channel intro (YouTube)
Worldwide
I'm launching a YouTube channel and need a short, high-quality animated intro sting. The channel is a British expat in the US explaining American politics and culture to a UK/European audience — the tone is dry, factual, authoritative, not flashy. I need one polished 2-3 second ident I'll use at the top of every video, so it needs to hold up to repeat viewing. Deliverables One 2-3 second animated intro, 3840×2160 (4K), 23.98fps Delivered as ProRes 422 (or ProRes 4444 with alpha if the design suits it) plus an H.264 preview A matching audio sting, or the design built to sit under audio I supply Project source file (After Effects or Apple Motion) so I can make minor text tweaks later 2 rounds of revisions included Style direction Graphical/motion design, not photoreal. Flat, clean, premium — think broadcast news brand or a serious documentary channel, not gaming or vlog energy. Palette: deep navy or charcoal with a gold accent and white type. Restrained. The channel name should be legible and central. Bold modern sans-serif, uppercase. Concept is open, but "Atlantic" is the anchor — the ocean between Britain and America. Coastline outlines, nautical chart lines, a compass mark, or abstract map geometry all work. I'm open to your idea. Restraint over spectacle. One clean move, elegantly executed. No swooshes, no lens flares, no particle explosions. What I'll provide Channel name and any logo assets Reference frames from my videos so the palette ties to my studio look Examples of idents I like (on request)
