This looks a lot like the Google new material design inputs.
I created custom inputs for you that look like what you are looking for.

.input-group {
  position: relative;
  margin: 40px 0 20px;
}

input {
  font-size: 18px;
  padding: 10px 10px 10px 5px;
  display: block;
  width: 300px;
  border: none;
  border-bottom: 1px solid #757575;
}

input:focus {
  outline: none;
}

label {
  color: #999;
  font-size: 18px;
  font-weight: normal;
  position: absolute;
  pointer-events: none;
  left: 5px;
  top: 10px;
  transition: 0.2s ease all;
  -moz-transition: 0.2s ease all;
  -webkit-transition: 0.2s ease all;
}

input:focus ~ label,
input:valid ~ label {
  top: -20px;
  font-size: 14px;
  color: #4285f4;
}

.bar {
  position: relative;
  display:block;
  width:315px;
}

.bar:before,
.bar:after {
  content: '';
  height: 2px;
  width: 0;
  bottom: 1px;
  position: absolute;
  background: #4285f4;
  transition: 0.2s ease all;
  -moz-transition: 0.2s ease all;
  -webkit-transition: 0.2s ease all;
}

.bar:before {
  left: 50%;
}

.bar:after {
  right: 50%;
}

input:focus ~ .bar:before,
input:focus ~ .bar:after {
  width: 50%;
}

.highlight {
  position: absolute;
  height: 60%;
  width: 100px;
  top: 25%;
  left: 0;
  pointer-events: none;
  opacity: 0.5;
}

input:focus ~ .highlight {
  -webkit-animation: inputHighlighter 0.3s ease;
  -moz-animation: inputHighlighter 0.3s ease;
  animation: inputHighlighter 0.3s ease;
}

/* animations */
@-webkit-keyframes inputHighlighter {
  from { background: #4285f4; }
  to   { width: 0; background: transparent; }
}
@-moz-keyframes inputHighlighter {
  from { background: #4285f4; }
  to   { width: 0; background: transparent; }
}
@keyframes inputHighlighter {
  from { background: #4285f4; }
  to   { width: 0; background: transparent; }
}
