FAQs

First, decide what you want from the project. Are you making a fun cartoon or a serious explainer video? Write down your ideas to share with the motion designer. Being clear from the start helps everyone stay on the same page.
Determine when you want the first draft or sample. When should major parts of the project be done? Set clear dates for each stage. This helps keep the project moving forward and allows you to check in on progress.
Scope means what needs to be done. Write down exactly what you want the motion designer to do, like the style or story. Agreeing on this before starting helps avoid surprises later.
A project brief is like a roadmap. Include what the project is about, style examples, and what the finished work should look like. The more details you give, the easier it is for the designer to meet your needs.
Decide how often you want to talk, like every week or after each big step. You can use chat, email, or video calls. Clear, regular communication makes the project run smoothly.
Deliverables are the things the designer gives you, like videos or animations. Make a list of what you expect to receive. Talk it over with the designer to ensure they understand exactly what you need.
Look at their first work and see if it matches your ideas. Is the style and tone what you wanted? Give feedback right away to help the designer make it better if needed.
Encourage new ideas but remember the goals. Be flexible but keep an eye on deadlines. Creative projects are best when there’s room for imagination without losing focus.
There are online tools to track progress and share files, like project management apps. Ask the designer what they like to use. Picking the right tools helps everyone work together smoothly.
Decide each step, from script to final cut. Talk about who does what and when. Knowing the plan makes sure everyone works well together and the project gets done on time.
