I have an artists-video in progress and I need a polished 2D animation sequence built entirely in Adobe After Effects. The live image and rough timing are ready; what’s missing is the animated effects that brings the piece to life. Here’s what I’m aiming for: a fluid, stylised 2D look that complements the visual tone of the artwork already on screen. It's about a body overheating. Think acid flash or cel-inspired motion rather than corporate infographics. You will receive photoshop file, mood references and the exact frame markers where animation should appear. Your task is to design, animate and composite those moments so they feel integrated, respecting colour, pacing and the overall aesthetic of the piece. Deliverables • Storyboard or style frames for approval • The fully animated After Effects project (well-organised layers and comps) • Rendered video (ProRes or lossless MOV) matching the original timeline • Any custom artwork or textures you create as separate, editable assets 3 to 4 mins in length. I will give you a photoshop file that I would like to animate. Acceptance criteria • Animation matches the agreed storyboard and timing cues • Smooth playback at 25 fps, 1920×1080 • No third-party plugins that require additional licences (ever) If this aligns with your strengths in AE illustration and 2D motion, I’d love to see a couple of relevant samples and get started right away.

We will maintain 25 fps at 1920×1080 and use only native/licensed-free After Effects tools without plugins requiring additional licenses.

Hi, I’d love to animate your existing Photoshop artwork and create the **stylized 2D effects sequence** you’re looking for. The acid-flash / cel-inspired direction sounds like a great fit for After Effects, and I can keep the animation integrated with the original artwork rather than making it feel like an overlay. I have 7+ years of experience with **After Effects, 2D animation, motion graphics, Photoshop compositing, and visual effects**. I can handle: * Style frames/storyboard for approval * Preparing and separating the supplied Photoshop artwork for animation * Fluid 2D animation and stylized body-overheating effects * Acid-flash, heat distortion, glow, and cel-inspired movement * Custom textures and artwork where needed * Precise animation to your supplied frame markers * 25 fps / 1920×1080 workflow * Cleanly organized AE layers, comps, and project structure * ProRes/lossless MOV final render * Editable custom artwork and textures * **No third-party plugins requiring additional licenses** I’ll focus on maintaining the artwork’s existing **color, mood, pacing, and visual language** while adding enough movement and texture to make the sequence feel alive. I can share relevant **2D After Effects animation and stylized VFX samples** from my portfolio. Send me the Photoshop file and mood references, and I can review the animation requirements and provide a clear timeline and quote. Best regards, Nabeel Akhtar

The overheating concept has a strong visual direction—the animation needs to feel like part of the artwork itself, not an effect layered on top. I can take your Photoshop file, frame markers, and mood references and build a fluid 2D sequence in After Effects with cel-inspired motion, distortion, texture, colour treatment, and controlled pacing that supports the “acid flash / body overheating” aesthetic. I have 6 years of experience across motion design, animation, and visual production, and I can keep the AE project clean, editable, and fully plugin-independent. I’ll develop storyboard/style frames first, then animate and composite the approved direction at 1920×1080, 25 fps, with the final project, editable artwork/textures, and ProRes or lossless MOV delivery.
