FAQs

To ensure alignment, review the motion designer's portfolio to assess their style and previous work. Consider requesting a mood board or initial concept sketch that outlines how they envision approaching your project. This will help you determine if their style is compatible with your project's needs before finalizing any agreements.
Clearly define the project scope and expectations in writing, including key milestones and deadlines. Establish communication protocols for regular updates and use project management tools if needed to track progress. Setting detailed deliverables and timelines at the start minimizes misunderstandings and keeps the project on track.
Provide structured and constructive feedback by first applauding what works well, followed by specific suggestions for improvements. Use visual references and examples to convey your ideas, ensuring clarity and minimizing miscommunication. Regular checkpoints in your timeline facilitate a collaborative revision process, enabling the designer to incorporate your feedback effectively.
