Animated Intro for Historical YouTube Series

I’m looking for a skilled animator to create a high-quality intro sequence for my YouTube series Forged Through Time. The series follows my journey as I live, train, and eat like warriors from different historical eras.
This intro will appear at the start of every episode, so it needs to feel cinematic, educational, and timeless.

Scope of the project:

A 30-40 second 2D animated intro

Visual theme: warriors, ancient battlefields, forging of weapons, symbols of time and history

Integration of the title Forged Through Time in a dramatic way

The animation will accompany a voiceover script (which I will provide) — the visuals should match the mood, timing, and themes of the narration

Suitable for pairing with an epic soundtrack (I can provide audio or work with your suggestion)

Tone:

Educational but bold — think documentary meets historical adventure

Inspiring, dramatic, and authentic

Deliverables:

Full HD (or higher) animated intro suitable for YouTube

A version with audio synced (if possible)

Source files (preferred but not essential)

Budget:
This is a personal passion project, so I’d love to know your rates and any packages you might offer.

Could you please:
Share examples of similar work you’ve done
Let me know your estimated cost and timeline
Confirm if you’re happy to work to a provided voiceover script

Please include the word FORGED in your reply so I know you’ve read the full brief!

Thanks so much for your time — I look forward to hearing from you.
