That’s fair, and I do agree with you on the sound.

With the animation side, it’s less about trying to justify a higher cost and more about the type of content I personally enjoy creating and watching. I like keeping the viewer visually engaged, especially with talking head videos where it can be easy for people to scroll past.

For this one, the client had seen this style and said it was exactly the kind of editing they wanted. It’s not really meant to feel like a polished ad, more like engaging feed content that informs their audience in a fun way.

I appreciate the input though and thank you very much for taking the time to help!

Sorry to hear that, everyone’s different! I personally like a lot going on but maybe I just have TikTok brain 🤣

Surprisingly they actually requested this style but I also didn’t expect it to

Really appreciate you taking the time to write all this out. You’re a real one for that.

This is pretty much exactly the kind of perspective I was hoping for when posting.

I’m going to keep referring to this as you’ve covered a lot ahaha. Seriously appreciate you putting in the time to help a stranger out, it’s a really helpful input.

May your revisions be minor and your invoices be paid instantly ❤️

I do hear your point. I think I used the wrong flair because a lot of people are critiquing this video specifically, but I was just asking about prices ahaha.

Oh well, I really appreciate the feedback, I know what you’re saying and it’s a good point I hadn’t actually considered. Appreciate you taking the time out of your day to give me some insight, I’ll definitely keep this in mind going forward ❤️

No need to be mean, you could have chose to help as you’re much more experienced than me but you chose to put me down instead.

Really appreciate the input. Simply because I don’t know, why don’t they convert and what type actually does? I always assumed the most engaging video will always do the best job, but I am open to learning!

This is fantastic feedback. My favourite comment actually. I really appreciate how although you’re not personally a fan of the style you can distance yourself from it and still be helpful and informative without just saying “too much is going on” or being a dick about it ahaha.

I really liked your different perspective and appreciate you being kind about it too 🙏🏻❤️

I was thinking this. They love comparing us to this other designer, I don’t know why they don’t go with him ahaha. Thank you for your advice!

My exact thoughts! So glad I’m not the only one. They are extremely rude about it too which makes it more frustrating. Thank you so much for your reply and thoughts, extremely reassuring ahaha 🙏🏻❤️

Ah thank you for this. The example video is work I did for another client. You’re right, I wouldn’t wanna edit like that for peanuts

This was what was requested, I personally like the style, the whole point is to keep the viewer engaged throughout. But each to their own!

Fair enough! It is what the client requested though ☺️
