FAQs

How can I clearly define the goals of my animation project before looking for a Rive animator?

Start by jotting down a simple list of what you need the animation to achieve. Think about the story you want to tell or the emotion you want to evoke. Clear goals will help the animator understand your vision better. You can also prepare a mood board or gather examples of animations you like.

What kind of portfolio should I look for when hiring a Rive animator?

Look for a portfolio that includes a variety of animation styles and techniques. The animator should have examples of their work using Rive specifically. This will show that they are familiar with the platform. Make sure their style matches what you have in mind for your project.

How important is it to check if the animator understands my brand style?

It's very important. The animator should be able to adapt their work to fit your brand's identity. A good understanding means they'll make animations that complement your style. This will make your project more cohesive and appealing.

What details should I include in a project brief for a Rive animator?

Your project brief should have details about the animation's purpose and goals. Include information about your brand style and any specific elements you need. A great brief helps animators know exactly what you want. Don’t forget to mention the project timeline and any deadlines.

How can I establish a timeline for the animation project?

Start by deciding when you need the final animation. Work backward from that date to set milestones. Include time for feedback and revisions. With these, both you and the animator will know what to expect and when.

What is the best way to give constructive feedback to a Rive animator?

Be clear and specific when giving feedback. If you don’t like something, explain why and offer suggestions. Positive feedback is also helpful. It’s a way to let the animator know what works well and should be kept.

How should I set clear deliverables for my project with a Rive animator?

List out each piece of the project clearly. Define what needs to be done and the final product you expect. Clear deliverables help both you and the animator stay on track. It ensures that everyone knows when the job is done right.
