Educational Pulsating Star Animation

Job ID: 40316170

Budget: $30 – $250 CAD

I need a clear, captivating 2-D animation that shows a star rhythmically expanding and contracting, so students can see how an energy entity would appear. The animation will be used on a website using both laptops and smartphones, so using an appropriate resolution in a video file that loops seamlessly on both devices, pausing only briefly at min and max, would be ideal.

I already have the star image I want used (attached), but it has a transparent background that I want midnight black, so hopefully that's doable. Feel free to craft it in After Effects, Animate, or any 2-D tool you prefer as I just need the rendered file since I'll never edit the animation other than tweaking the speed, so I shouldn't need the source files. You could produce, if you're able, a second file with a pulsing, twirping sound in sync with the animation.

Deliverables
• Looping MP4 or MOV, 1080p, 30 fps

Please keep the total length of one cycle to roughly 2-3 seconds, so the loop duration feels natural and peaceful. It is very simple, but if you need clarity about anything, just ask.
