Contest Brief

Seeking a animator to create an animated "music video" for our original rock song about Jesus's crucifixion, titled "Three Men on a Hill".

Our vision is to have the video animate the song lyrics ALONGSIDE some 2D animation/illustration that reflects the lyrics, and/or scene the lyrics are describing. The video must include more than just the animated lyrics. The illustration/animation should help tell the story.

The "drum crashes" in the song should impact the video either via a change in color, tone or animation. The instrumental section in the middle should be depicted to represent the death of Jesus, get darker as the music increases, and could depict animated musicians playing to the music or merely colors/shapes relevant to the story (e.g. cross, thorn of crowns, nails, etc.).

We envision the palette and tone for the video to be "charcoal on an aged manuscript". Font for the lyrics should be charcoal-inspired or aged stenciled, as used on the album artwork at this link: (http://s3.amazonaws.com/content.sitezoogle.com/u/184869/43a6bfcae319c3f924a844a69c2106c19d616195/large/cover.png?1450663051)

The song, lyrics, and reference color/font palette can be found here:

Aspect ratio should be standard for YouTube.

The final frames should display song credits as follows (centered on screen):

    While I appreciate budgets, this is very little money for the amount of work you're requesting.
