Creative Motion Designer Needed - Unique Mountaineering & Climbing Video Identity

I am looking for a creative Motion Designer / After Effects Designer to create a unique and professional video branding package for my mountaineering, climbing and expedition content.

The project will be used on YouTube, Instagram Reels, TikTok, Facebook and YouTube Shorts.

The most important part of the project is the main 3–5 second intro.

I want the intro to be:

Unique and custom-made
Very visually attractive
Clever and memorable
Strongly connected to mountaineering and climbing
Cinematic, premium, modern and minimal
NOT a generic template

A key element I want included is a climbing carabiner and its locking mechanism.

I specifically want the animation to include the realistic movement of the locking sleeve rotating and locking, together with the recognizable metallic sound of a real carabiner locking.

However, I do NOT want something simple like:

“carabiner closes → click sound → logo appears → end.”

The designer must use creativity and develop a smarter concept around:

Carabiner + Climbing + Mountains + Rope + Altitude + Expedition Identity

The carabiner should be part of the overall idea, not just a random object added to the animation.

I want the intro to feel like something people will remember and associate specifically with my mountain content.

The complete package should include:
Main cinematic intro: 3–5 sec
Micro logo sting: 1–2 sec
Outro / YouTube end screen
Mountain / Expedition title animation
Altitude / distance / elevation / temperature overlays
Lower-third name animation
Chapter animations such as:
DAY 01 — APPROACH
HIGH CAMP
ACCLIMATIZATION
SUMMIT PUSH
DESCENT
Vertical 9:16 versions for Reels, TikTok and Shorts
Custom sound design
Transparent / alpha versions where appropriate
Style direction:

I am looking for:

Premium documentary + modern mountaineering expedition + technical alpine identity

Possible visual elements can include:

Carabiner
Rope
Topographic / contour lines
Mountain silhouettes
GPS / coordinates
Altitude information
Expedition data
Snow / wind
Metal / climbing equipment details

Please avoid:

Generic Envato-style intros
Gaming graphics
Huge 3D mountain logos
Fire
Lightning
Excessive particles
Cheap trailer effects
Simple logo + whoosh animations
Designs that look obviously AI-generated
VERY IMPORTANT — CAPCUT

I personally edit all my videos in CapCut.

Everything must therefore be designed so that I can easily import and reuse the animations directly inside CapCut without needing After Effects every time.

Please provide ready-to-use exports and transparent overlays where appropriate.

For reusable information such as mountain name, altitude, country, person name, etc., the graphics should be designed so I can easily change the text myself inside CapCut.

Final delivery should include:

1920×1080 versions for YouTube
1080×1920 versions for social media
CapCut-ready files
Transparent / alpha versions where needed
Original editable source files
Fonts used
Sound effects / licensed assets
Commercial usage rights

IMPORTANT APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Please do NOT send me a generic copy-paste proposal.

Start your proposal with the word:

CARABINER

Then answer these 3 questions:

What is your initial creative idea for using the carabiner and locking mechanism in a unique intro? A short written concept is enough — I am NOT asking for free completed work.
Send me only 2–4 portfolio examples that best demonstrate your motion design / animation skills.
Explain how you would deliver the graphics so I can easily reuse them inside CapCut without opening After Effects every time.

If your proposal does not answer these questions, I will not consider it.

I am looking for someone with:

Creative thinking + Motion Design + Animation + Strong Sound Design

If the first project goes well, there may be future work for additional expedition and social media graphics.
