After Effects Editor for Looping Animations

SUMMARY

We are building relaxing YouTube videos for sleep and meditation, and are looking for an animator who can create short, seamless, looping animations (5–10 seconds) from still images.

The animations will fall into two visual styles:

1. Ambient Nature Scenes Examples: • moonlit rivers • tropical beaches at night • forest lakes • glowing butterflies or fireflies • calm water reflections • stars and subtle mist Example style: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lXIgLSKp1g

These should feel calm, atmospheric, and relaxing. 

2. Meditation / Energy Visualization Scenes Examples: • glowing neural brain animations • frequency waves moving slowly across the screen • light particles traveling through the body • subtle breathing motion in a sleeping figure • energy fields / cosmic environments Example styles:

The motion should be very slow and hypnotic, designed for sleep videos.
