Creative Motion Designer Needed - Unique Mountaineering & Climbing Video Identity

About the project

I am looking for a creative Motion Designer / After Effects Designer to create a unique and professional video branding package for my mountaineering, climbing and expedition content. The project will be used on YouTube, Instagram Reels, TikTok, Facebook and YouTube Shorts. The most important part of the project is the main 3–5 second intro. I want the intro to be: Unique and custom-made Very visually attractive Clever and memorable Strongly connected to mountaineering and climbing Cinematic, premium, modern and minimal NOT a generic template A key element I want included is a climbing carabiner and its locking mechanism. I specifically want the animation to include the realistic movement of the locking sleeve rotating and locking, together with the recognizable metallic sound of a real carabiner locking. However, I do NOT want something simple like: “carabiner closes → click sound → logo appears → end.” The designer must use creativity and develop a smarter concept around: Carabiner + Climbing + Mountains + Rope + Altitude + Expedition Identity The carabiner should be part of the overall idea, not just a random object added to the animation. I want the intro to feel like something people will remember and associate specifically with my mountain content. The complete package should include: Main cinematic intro: 3–5 sec Micro logo sting: 1–2 sec Outro / YouTube end screen Mountain / Expedition title animation Altitude / distance / elevation / temperature overlays Lower-third name animation Chapter animations such as: DAY 01 — APPROACH HIGH CAMP ACCLIMATIZATION SUMMIT PUSH DESCENT Vertical 9:16 versions for Reels, TikTok and Shorts Custom sound design Transparent / alpha versions where appropriate Style direction: I am looking for: Premium documentary + modern mountaineering expedition + technical alpine identity Possible visual elements can include: Carabiner Rope Topographic / contour lines Mountain silhouettes GPS / coordinates Altitude information Expedition data Snow / wind Metal / climbing equipment details Please avoid: Generic Envato-style intros Gaming graphics Huge 3D mountain logos Fire Lightning Excessive particles Cheap trailer effects Simple logo + whoosh animations Designs that look obviously AI-generated VERY IMPORTANT — CAPCUT I personally edit all my videos in CapCut. Everything must therefore be designed so that I can easily import and reuse the animations directly inside CapCut without needing After Effects every time. Please provide ready-to-use exports and transparent overlays where appropriate. For reusable information such as mountain name, altitude, country, person name, etc., the graphics should be designed so I can easily change the text myself inside CapCut. Final delivery should include: 1920×1080 versions for YouTube 1080×1920 versions for social media CapCut-ready files Transparent / alpha versions where needed Original editable source files Fonts used Sound effects / licensed assets Commercial usage rights Social Media: TikTok: @avoukatos Instagram: @avoukatos.priv Facebook: avoukatos.vasilis YouTube: @VasilisAvoukatos IMPORTANT APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS Please do NOT send me a generic copy-paste proposal. Start your proposal with the word: CARABINER Then answer these 3 questions: What is your initial creative idea for using the carabiner and locking mechanism in a unique intro? A short written concept is enough — I am NOT asking for free completed work. Send me only 2–4 portfolio examples that best demonstrate your motion design / animation skills. Explain how you would deliver the graphics so I can easily reuse them inside CapCut without opening After Effects every time. If your proposal does not answer these questions, I will not consider it. I am looking for someone with: Creative thinking + Motion Design + Animation + Strong Sound Design If the first project goes well, there may be future work for additional expedition and social media graphics.
