Hey everyone, I had a great idea driving down the road a bit ago. Since my website is looking dated, I got to thinking, my first play animated logo is too.

Now I will be the first to say that my animated graphics abilities ARE LACKING and am ignorant on how to make great ones! I am asking for your help and will consider working out a reasonable payment/business transaction to someone who can make one for me with the following specs:

My logo:

Scaled down from original HiRez file...
Made in PhotoShop.

OK, here's what I would like to have:
1- This done in HDV resolution 1440x1280p at 1.3333 aspect ratio AVI
2- I'd like to have at various places around the letters to have a fine "shimmering" pinlight with various sized trails moving around several letters.
EDIT: Added pic of an example of an instance (not wanting yellow, but a white light) different speeds, different directions flowing around various letters.)

3- Whole thing last approx. 15 seconds.
4- I don't know if its possible, but have the black background as transparent in case I want to overlay this with something else such as fireworks, pond, mountains, etc...

EDIT: Possibly have a beam of light at end of this sequence similar to this, but in one longer duration of a "swipe":

I'm sure some of you seasoned graphics pros can do this in no time, but for me, I don't know how to yet...

Thanks...
PM me if interested.

I can do it.
But I'm pretty slammed right now

(You know modding a new 'board is very time consuming!;) )

My graphics pay rate is pretty cheap.
we'll talk soon!

I may be able to help...

Yes, I'm on a Mac and that makes me "the enemy", ;-) but I do a lot of this kind of thing and have software for pretty much any effect. My guess is that this would be fun in Motion.

Look for a PM...

My vote is to do it right in 3D. You would also be able to export an alpha channel so you soul lay it over whatever you like.
