Scientific Livestock Animation (3 Seamless GIFs for Research‑Grade Website) Project Overview Seeking an experienced motion graphics / 3D artist to create three short, seamless looping animated GIFs for a research‑oriented website in the livestock domain. The animations will combine realistic animal imagery with a restrained computational/technical overlay. The tone must feel appropriate for a research institute, academic lab, or scientific publication—not a marketing banner, game, or sci‑fi interface. Core Requirement (Please Read Carefully) The animations must feel like scientific illustrations gently brought to life. If your typical work depends on: flashy or fast motion neon glows and heavy FX HUDs, charts, numbers, or icons camera spins, zooms, or dramatic transitions …this project is not a fit. Scope of Work Create 3 animated GIFs (each 5–7 seconds, seamless loop): GIF 1 — Physical Animal + Computational Overlay Photorealistic dairy cow (Jersey type) as the base subject Subtle technical/mesh overlay aligned to the animal’s body Very gentle alignment / fade interaction between the physical form and overlay No camera movement; the subject remains fixed in frame GIF 2 — Internal Biological Processes Realistic side view of a cow Calm, abstract internal network suggesting physiological processes (e.g., metabolism / internal signalling) Slow, continuous internal flow; no arrows, icons, or spinning DNA Overlay remains restrained and secondary to the animal form GIF 3 — Computational Model / Wireframe Animal Fully digital or wireframe representation of a cow Subtle breathing or micro‑movement so the model feels “alive” but controlled No morphing into charts, user interfaces, or dashboards Visual & Motion Constraints Style Realistic anatomy and proportions Muted, natural colour palette (browns, graphite, soft teal/neutral tones) Clean, research‑grade aesthetic suitable for scientific contexts Motion Minimal, meditative, smooth Locked or near‑locked camera No zooming, orbiting, or rotation Must be comfortable to watch continuously without visual fatigue Looping Perfectly seamless loop No flicker, snapping, or visible reset Deliverables For each of the 3 animations: Optimised GIF for web use Matching MP4 (same framing, duration, and loop behaviour) Source / project file (e.g., After Effects or Blender file) to allow future adjustments Tools / Pipeline After Effects and/or Blender preferred Other professional pipelines are acceptable if they can deliver: high‑quality renders, smooth looping, and easy export to GIF + MP4.
