How do I prepare my project details for a motion designer?
Start by writing down what your project is about. Include the goals and the story you want to tell. Think about any style or look you like. It helps the designer see your vision!
What should I check in a motion designer’s portfolio?
Look for projects similar to yours in their past work. Check if their style matches what you want. Notice how they use colors and movements. A good match in style means better results for your project!
Why is it important to set clear deliverables?
Clear deliverables make sure everyone knows what to expect. Write down all the parts like video length or number of animations. This way, the designer knows what to do, and you know what you’ll get.
How do I communicate my brand style to the freelancer?
Share your brand colors, fonts, and any existing videos or images. If you have brand guidelines, give these too. This helps the designer create something that fits your brand perfectly.
What should a project timeline include?
A project timeline should include start and end dates. Add deadlines for drafts and feedback times. This keeps the project on track and makes sure it finishes on time.

Choose one main way to communicate, like emails or chat. Set times to catch up and talk about the project. Being clear and regular with communication keeps everyone in sync and helps the project go well.
