💰 Budget: 1700$
Job Description:
We are seeking a skilled scientific animator or illustrator to create three (3) high-definition animations that accurately depict the effects of water pressure on a dive suit and human body under critical scenarios. Total length of animations: 01:30-03:00
Project Scope:
1. Rapid Descent (Falling Off a Dive Platform)
This animation should illustrate what happens when a diver descends too quickly, leading to a rapid increase in external water pressure, compressing the dive suit.
Suit Compression: The suit tightens around the diver’s body, restricting movement.
Loss of Mobility: The diver is unable to move their arms and legs due to the constriction, similar to a vacuum-seal effect.
Progression of Pressure Effects: As depth increases, the diver becomes more severely constricted, highlighting the increasing pressure.
2. Air Hose Failure at Depth
This animation will depict what happens when a diver’s air hose loses pressure while submerged. With no internal suit pressure to counteract external water pressure:
Intensified Compression: The suit collapses further, crushing the diver.
Body Compression into Helmet: The extreme pressure forces the diver’s body upward into the helmet due to the pressure differential.
Final Outcome: The animation should illustrate the catastrophic effects of pressure on the body, ensuring scientific accuracy while avoiding unnecessary gore.
3. Effect of Water Pressure on Volume
Instead of a static schematic, we need an animation that visually represents the effect of increasing water pressure on volume.
A series of shrinking circles will depict how volume decreases with increasing depth.
These circles should be animated next to a freediver (breath-hold diver) descending, illustrating the real-world application of the physics principle.
Illustration Style & Requirements:
Scientifically accurate and educational.
Step-by-step visual progression to clearly show cause-and-effect relationships.
Use of pressure markers, arrows, and annotations to indicate forces and changes.
Professional and clear style suitable for scientific presentations, training materials, or safety briefings.
Final animations must be delivered in high-resolution digital format.
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience in scientific, technical, or educational animation, particularly in physics, engineering, or human anatomy.
Strong understanding of pressure dynamics and its physiological effects on the human body.
Ability to translate complex scientific concepts into clear, engaging, and accurate visuals.
Application Requirements:
Submit a portfolio showcasing relevant scientific or technical animations.
Include a brief description of how you would approach this project creatively and technically.
Provide a quote and an estimated timeline for completion.
We look forward to collaborating with an animator who can bring this critical underwater safety phenomenon to life with scientific accuracy and compelling visuals.
