Designers: make a simple and stylish animation, get awarded a big project

[dherald]

I am looking for a talented designer with GOOD ATTITUDE that won't b!tch when changes are required.

I will require several dozen animations like this.

Your task in this thread:

Make an animation of a flying bug (mosquito, bee, hornet, whatever). One of the bugs that can byte you.

Frame pack 1. Idle.

The bug is hanging out and flying in the air. This can be like 2-3 frames.

Frame pack 2. Startled.

The bug realizes you've spotted him, goes WTH 0_o. Again, this can be couple of frames.

Frame pack 3. Get the hell out.

After going WTH the bug quickly flies off-screen. Couple of frames where he vanishes.

___________________________________________

The resolution won't be big, it can be thumb-sized.

One who makes it most stylish and cool looking will be awarded a big project with these types of animations. Budget will be agreed upon, with more ongoing work awarded.

Current format: preferably GIF.

Feedback is appreciated =)

[dherald]

Thanks for the effort, but I see no style over there.

Don't mean to be rude, but I could do that, and I'm not a designer.

This is probably the strangest thing I'll find myself saying today, but do you want the bug to literally go "WTH 0_o." or just to appear shocked/suprised.

This is definitely better than the previous one

But

1. I don't need the background
2. It's still not stylish :(

I need someone who can show their style, to make the mascot (bug) look great and appealing

Or on the contrary - make the user hate the bug enough to kill him.

I am sorry for the delay, I was swamped with things the last few days, I will finish my submission within an hour.

Hope you enjoy :)

This is definitely getting closer to what I want.

Can you please add more style?

[DesireeJoy]

I would be happy to, can you give me sort of an example of what particular style you are going for?

I don't have anything particular in mind, but Cartoonish, Funny and Sexy comes to mind.

Ever played Team Fortress 2?

[DesireeJoy]

I haven't, but from the stuff I watched on YouTube I might wanna. Looks like a cool game.

That's my next attempt :)

@ CH - Can I use a .swf instead of GIF? .swf is a flash format...

[DesireeJoy]

That's what I submitted, but you can export in gif if you stay away from gradients and MC's. Go to publish settings and select gif :)

[att_kiara]

@ DesireeJoy - thanks for that info. ok i'll do that.. btw nice entry.. cheers!

[DesireeJoy]

No problem :)
I browsed the net a bit and they'll tell you good publish settings to get quality gifs!

Good luck with your entry. I'm excited to see your animation!
