5-Second Animated Intro for Revit Automation Series (Logo Animation) -- 2
Budget: $250 – $750 CAD
PLEASE NOTE: Only freelancers who correctly answer the following questions will be considered. Please include your answers in your proposal. The answers to the questions are in the description below.
QUESTIONS:
1. What two fonts should be used for the final text, and which one is for the large title?
2. What will happen to the cube at its peak rotation speed?
3. What deliverables are required for this project?
4. How would you approach animating the two lines of final text?
5. Describe how the cube should appear in the opening scene.

Project Description:
We're creating a sleek, high-quality animated intro for a YouTube and LinkedIn video series showcasing custom Revit automation tools. The intro should convey precision, technology, and smart automation, brought to life through our cube logo and a modern, tech-inspired motion sequence.
This should be clean, minimal, and future-proof, suitable for professional audiences in the architecture, engineering, and construction industries.
Animation Sequence:
Opening Scene (0–1 sec):
Background: Dark Charcoal (#131313).
Animation: The cube outline appears piece by piece, as if being assembled by an automated system: First the bottom, then the sides, then the top.
Middle Scene (1–3 sec):
Rotation: The fully formed cube begins rotating in 3D space, starting slow and quickly accelerating to a rapid spin.
Automation Elements: As it spins, small automation visuals appear briefly within the cube, such as:
- Mini gear icons,
- Code snippets ({}),
- Circuit traces.
These appear (and disappear) one at a time, timed with the logo rotation.
At maximum speed, the logo will spin too fast for these elements to be visible, so we will only see them at the start of the animation when the logo is speeding up. It should give the effect that these elements are causing the logo to speed up.
Glow Activation: At maximum rotation speed, the cube begins emitting a subtle glow to signify it is “powered on.”
Cube slows to a stop, retaining the activated glow.
Final Scene (3–5 sec):
The cube sits still in it's original orientation, glowing faintly.
Two lines of text fade in sequentially from bottom to top (or another creative, clean animation you propose):
"AUTOMATION SIMPLIFIED"
→ Large title text in GT Pressura Mono Bold, uppercase, Cream (#f6f4ef).
"by holo-blok"
→ Smaller subtitle text. “by” in GT America, and “holo-blok” as the provided logo.
Leave an extra second or two at the end so I can fade-out or clean-cut transition to main video content.
I expect some revisions will be required to perfect the animation.
Deliverables:
Final Animated Intro: MP4 + transparent background MOV/WebM versions.
Resolution: 4K (3840 x 2160).
Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (suitable for YouTube & LinkedIn).
Length: ~5-6 seconds.
Source Files: Required (After Effects, Blender, or other).
Optional Extras:
Sound design (optional but preferred): subtle tech tones, mechanical clicks, or whooshes.
Assets Provided:
holo-blok text logo - Illustrator - "HB Text (Teal).ai"
holo-blok cube logo - Illustrator - "HB Cube Only (Teal).ai"
