More help needed

I’m running into some areas on the episode where I’m coming up short on help. I have two small jobs I’m hoping someone can give me a hand with. I generally dislike springing offers like this at the last minute, but I need to keep moving to get this episode done. I’ll give the jobs to the first qualified people who contact me, although if they don’t do a good job, then it will go to the next people in line. Whoever completes the jobs properly will get a spot in the credits. Here’s what I need help with:
 
Photoshop Editor:

I’m creating an animated texture and I’ve done a lot of the work already, but I need small variations for each frame. I have instructions for almost every step involved here. You don’t need to be an artist to do this part, just have time. What this job will require:

-Basic knowledge of Adobe Photoshop
-Knowledge of how to randomize selections borders to a degree
-Lots of patience in doing the same steps dozens of times OR having good scripting knowledge to perhaps automate the process.
-Basic availability over the next 24 hours (or until the job’s done)
-Bonus points if you’re familiar with creating animated VTF textures in the Source engine, but that’s not required.

I want to get this part done as soon as possible because it’s holding me up from filming several scenes. If you’re great with scripting, it might take you 10 minutes. If not, it might take a couple hours, but that’s time I can spend animating something else.
 
Advanced Video Editor:

My video editing skills are generally pretty basic, although most of the time I don’t think more than that’s necessary for Civil Protection. In this case, I have a scene transition where I think a more advanced effect would be appropriate, but my knowledge/software is a bit lacking here. You may want something like After-Effects for what I want to do, but you can use any software you want. Here’s what’s required:

-Sample of previous video editing work (just anything slick-looking you’ve done before)
-Be able to paint footage from one shot onto a moving object from the prior shot (the camera’s just moving towards a rectangle) and have a clean fade-in between the two (I’ll have more details on this).
-Be able to process Huffyuv footage from me and export the end results in some sort of lossless compression that I can convert back to AVI.
-A fast enough internet connection to upload several hundred megs of video

I’m also open to suggestions for the best looking transition between the two shots once you see them. There isn’t too much time pressure on this, but the original person who was going to work on this is MIA, so now it’s up for anyone else.

If you’re interested in helping with either of these jobs, contact me at [email protected].

EDIT: I’ve already received promising responses and I think things will keep moving without any more slowdown. If you want to message me anyway to be the standby person in case the one working on things now gets hit by a meteorite, that’s fine too.
