2D Intro Animation from JPEG

About the project

I have a partially-designed JPEG that opens my videos, but right now it’s static. I want those first two seconds to do more than just sit there—I need a concise 2-second 2D animation that quickly informs viewers who we are before the main content rolls. Here’s what matters: • Both the text and the graphic elements in the JPEG need to move in a way that supports a clear, informative reveal rather than pure flash. I would like to draw the string with a knot in it as an animation, which means it probably needs to be redrawn in the original jpg. There will be a separate identical JPEG (which includes the title) for each specific video that will show the title for that video. This animation will do the lead-up to that final frame and I plan to use a cross dissolve effect so it appears as though the title is animated. • Deliverables include: 1. A new JPEG with a better-drawn string. 2. The animation of building that JPEG. • The style must stay strictly 2D; no depth-heavy 3D treatments. Subtle motion, smart transitions, and clean typography effects are perfect. • Final output should arrive ready to drop into my editing timeline: 1920×1080 (or higher if you normally work in 4K) at 25/30 fps, delivered as an MP4 or ProRes file, plus the editable project file (After Effects, Animate, etc.) so I can tweak if needed later. If this quick, info-driven intro sounds like something you can turn around fast, let’s get started—I’ll send the JPEG and brand palette as soon as you’re onboard.
