Requesting Simple(-ish?) YouTube Intro

I need a simple, 10-15 sec (most likely will end up being this long) YouTube intro done. To put it simply, I suppose I should just list the steps as to how it should appear.

1. A stick figure walks to the center of the screen entering from the left side similar to the Disney Pixar lamp.
Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGKmexNTHNE

2. After walking to the middle of the screen, I want the stick figure to pull out a spray can and spray on my logo into maybe the upper right hand corner of the screen. It is a graffiti-styled logo by the way.

3. Halfway through, the stick figure will pause as if the spray can ran out of paint, and shake the can. I would prefer it if the sound effect is made while the can is being shook. Most people should know what this sounds like Razz

4. The stick figure completes the rest of the logo.

5. This part is hard to explain, so I will provide a video.
Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbDbOpKBKdU
Notice how it's sort of been "drawn" on? I just need somebody to create that effect with a design I already have. I would prefer to envelope the logo. I will provide a picture example when I have the design completed.

6. Afterwards, I just simply want the logo to sort of fade into the back-ground and create a "water-marked" effect.

That's pretty much it I guess. I will have to change this around a little bit depending whether or not if this is possible to do. If it's not, please let me know and suggest a way to change it.

Price of this will be discussed as I am not sure as to how difficult this will really be.

Oh, and I want the stick figure to wear this type of hat by the way, I forgot to mention :D

Orientals should know what I'm talking about :P
 
wow, that's a big request.. I could probably do it if i emptied the internet vault of tutorials on animation, after effects and editing :P but i'm sure someone can do it on here just don't be too bummed when its not disney pixar standard XD Good luck
 
I'm not looking for incredibly high-quality, I can probably get the quality tweaked by other people :P I've had some people review it already and it doesn't seem too bad so far xD.

There is a big difference between quality and ease. You can make something low quality and it still be difficult. Animation in itself is a very time consuming process to get something even LQ. So if someone does this I wouldn't expect it to come cheap.

Theoretically it could 90% be done in that one stickman animation program which is tedious to do if you want something smoothly/well animated.
 
Ahhh, I see. I have my own web designer for this type of stuff but unfortunately, he can't do animations at the moment due to computer issues. I guess I just assumed it wouldn't be too hard because I have a good designer :P How much would you think a service like this would cost?

How well do you want it animated?

If you don't want it to be choppy and really crappy then I would say it could get up there in the $20+ range because then you have to drop in the sound effects and add all of the after effects work that can't be done in the stickman program. I don' think you'll be finding someone to do it here. There aren't many people who do motion graphics actively.
 
Ohhh, *whew* 20$ range :P I thought you were talking about professional work where it can get up to 250$/30-60 seconds. And yeah, I figured it would've been a long shot to ask a Sythe user to do this type of thing for me. It's quite difficult to find animators these days. And as for "how well" I supposed I want it to run as smooth as possible but I when I said "simple" I really just meant the design of the stick figure and aesthetics.
 
The stickman animation can easily be done in a program called Pivot, I could do it but I have no clue how to make the graffiti styled logo get smoothly animated into the animation, since pivot is a really icky animation program if you are using sprites
