Description

Seeking a talented freelancer or studio to create a compelling 60 second animated video trailer for my e-book, which is a Fiction Book. This project requires both the design of original digital illustrations and their animation into a dynamic and engaging trailer. The goal is to visually capture the essence of the book, build intrigue, and encourage viewers to learn more. Key Deliverables: Concept & Storyboard Development: • Develop a detailed storyboard outlining each scene, visual elements, and text overlays. • Create 16 distinct, high-quality digital illustrations based on key moments, characters, or themes from the book. • Illustrations must be delivered in a layered format (e.g., PSD, AI), optimized for animation (e.g., characters, backgrounds, foreground elements on separate layers for parallax and movement). • The artistic style should align with e.g., 'classic watercolor feel,' or 'dark and gritty. Video Animation (30-60 seconds): • Animate the created illustrations to produce a smooth and engaging video trailer (30-60 seconds in length). • Include dynamic camera movements, character movements (where applicable), and scene transitions. • Incorporate text overlays for the book title, author name, key quotes, and a call-to-action (e.g., "Available Now"). • Source and integrate suitable background music and sound effects (licensing considerations to be discussed). • Final video delivery in high-definition (e.g., 1080p MP4). Required Skills & Experience: • Proven expertise in both digital illustration and 2D animation (e.g., Adobe After Effects, Animate, or similar software). • A strong portfolio showcasing previous work in character design, sequential art, and animated videos (especially book trailers or promotional content). • Excellent storytelling abilities through visuals and motion. • Proficiency in creating layered artwork suitable for animation.
