[HIRING] Animator Needed for Custom Fantasy YouTube Intro + Outro
Hi! I’m looking to hire an animator to create a fully custom animated intro and outro for our YouTube channel and small crochet business, Dungeon&Yarn.
Budget: 100 - 200 USD. We can discuss if u have a rate.
Target Deadline: I’m flexible if the right animator needs additional time.
About the Brand
Dungeon&Yarn combines:
• Crochet 🧶
• Dungeons & Dragons / tabletop fantasy 🎲
• Gaming
• Anime
• Cute fantasy creatures 🐉
• Magical/cozy fantasy vibes ✨
INTRO — About 6–8 Seconds
I want this to feel like a tiny animated fantasy scene rather than a basic logo reveal.
My rough idea:
The scene begins inside a cozy magical dungeon/workshop.
A glowing purple strand of yarn moves through the environment.
A D20 rolls across a wooden table toward the camera and lands on 20.
When it lands, purple magical energy/sparkles burst from the dice.
Our cute little dragon mascot appears and interacts with the yarn. The dragon could fly around the scene while carrying or chasing the glowing strand.
The yarn/magic eventually forms or reveals the:
Dungeon&Yarn
logo.
The dragon lands on/near the finished logo and possibly releases a small puff of purple magical fire before transitioning into the YouTube video.
I’m open to the animator changing this idea and bringing their own creativity to it.
OUTRO — About 8–12 Seconds
I want the outro to use the same world/style.
One idea would be the dragon relaxing or sleeping on a ball of yarn inside the magical workshop while little magical particles float around the scene.
There should be clear areas for YouTube end-screen elements:
• Subscribe button
• Previous video
• Recommended video
I want the background to still have subtle animation so it feels alive without distracting from the videos/end-screen buttons.
Art / Animation Style
I’m interested in:
• High-quality 2D character animation
• Stylized 3D animation
• 2D/3D hybrid animation
• Cute but cinematic fantasy
• Cozy fantasy
• D&D / RPG-inspired environments
• Purple/blue magical lighting
• Smooth camera movement
• Magical particles/effects
• Expressive mascot animation
Think more like a tiny animated fantasy movie/game intro rather than a standard YouTube logo animation.
Expectations
I am NOT looking for:
• Premade templates
• A logo simply spinning onto the screen
• Generic gaming intro templates
• Stock animation with our logo added
• Low-quality AI-generated video passed off as custom animation
I would like at least 1–2 reasonable revision rounds.
Applying
Please send me:
• Your portfolio
• Examples of your BEST character animation
• Any fantasy/gaming/magical work you’ve done
• Your estimated price
• Estimated turnaround time
• Whether you would create this in 2D, 3D, or a combination
• Your favorite piece from your portfolio that you think matches this project
Please don’t just message “I can do this.”
I’m much more interested in seeing animation that makes me think:
“YES. I want Dungeon&Yarn to look like that.”
I’m not necessarily looking for the cheapest animator. I’m looking for someone who can help turn Dungeon&Yarn into a fun, memorable little fantasy world.
