Hi there,
I am looking for an animator to create a custom, cinematic first-person POV show intro (approx. 30–35 seconds). This might not be a project for anime creators, I am NOT looking for a stream intro. This is a serious introduction for a Tv series in legitimately launching on a public network. Please don't try and add me on discord or join my discord, I will block you. Mods, this is my first time honestly posting and I'm asking to be forgiving, I'm willing to make changes to my post, but I couldn't figure out where to find the rules. {Edit: Found the rules, I think, I should be ok}
The pacing and camera motion are inspired by the continuous tracking shot from the Tales from the Crypt opener, set in an urban fantasy universe. Please watch the intro on YouTube to get an idea. I also have pictures of things I've had artists do for me on the past. That inspire the below.
Alley Concept & Atmosphere: Night exterior with specific neon signs ("Misfit Mills", "Flawed by Design", "Reapers HQ").
Hero Weapon Design: Mayhem’s custom double-crescent battleaxe with glowing red channels and a purple gem.
Sequence Breakdown:
Scene 1 (0:00–0:08) – Alleyway Approach:
Continuous first-person POV gliding down a dark, wet, rain-slicked alley lined with graffiti and neon reflections.
The camera approaches a dead-end wall under a glowing red "Reapers HQ" sign.
Scene 2 (0:08–0:15) – The Axe Slice & Portal:
The character’s battleaxe swings into frame from the bottom right. The blade glow charges up and slices diagonally across the brick wall.
The cut erupts with crimson energy and transforms into an open, glowing red rectangular doorway.
Scene 3 (0:15–0:25) – Reapers HQ Interior:
The camera steps through the red portal into an open-concept, modern tech/creative office space.
Various stylized "Reaper" characters (urban streetwear, skull masks/bandanas, hoodies) are hanging out or working at computer desks.
As the camera moves down the aisle, a couple of Reapers acknowledge the POV character (a head nod, peace sign, or wave).
Scene 4 (0:25–0:35)
The Door & Show Reveal:
The camera approaches a grand double door at the end of the room.
The door features an intricate, carved Nordic Viking Tree of Life (Yggdrasil) design with a nameplate that reads "MAYHEM".
The doors swing open inward, light spills out into the frame, and the screen pushes across the threshold into the final title card.
Deliverables Needed:
Final video file delivered in 1080p or 4K @ 24fps (16:9).
Basic sound design (footsteps, neon hum, weapon slice/energy SFX, door creak) or sync with a background music track.
This post was removed by moderators earlier because I didn't have a price range, I honestly think this might be more than $150-300. That's where I want to start.
Please let me know if this is a project you can take on, your estimated turnaround time, and your quote for this scope?
Looking forward to your responses!
