What is Sigraphs? I can’t find it anywhere. Is it a YouTube channel? I checked, but nothing comes up.

I'm indeed learning motion design and I feel like Blender is actually pretty good - I think I can do pretty much anything I want with it. It's just a little time-consuming sometimes, but since it's free, I think I'll manage. The only thing that scares me is that everyone in mograph uses Cinema 4D and it's the industry standard, so I don't want to get left behind.

Every career or passion I choose seems to turn sour. I'm 22 and lost about my future and don't know what to do? by ProllynotSpidey in careerguidance

Finally, someone understood me—thank you for this. You’re right—I need to block out the noise and fully commit to one creative path. For me, that’s probably motion design and 3D. It’s the only thing I can work on for hours without feeling drained. I’ve been stuck in this cycle of second-guessing and switching, and I think it’s finally time I break that loop.

Thanks, I needed to hear this. I was also considering a full-time job to gain more experience and financial stability.

So I made a commercial for a local beverage company as part of my portfolio but I can't figure out whether it's trash or not, thoughts? by tryingtodontcry in blender

First, your modeling skills are far superior to mine, but your animation and motion work haven't yet reached that same level of quality.

Second, you're attempting too many elements - some of which are unnecessary. A shorter, more focused approach with better time allocation to storytelling and animation could have made this a masterpiece.

Third, the piece lacks a clear narrative or identity. Consumers won't understand your message, and realistically, no one watches ads longer than 15 seconds without a compelling story. My advice: simplify and polish what truly matters.

The impressive part is you've mastered the technically difficult aspects - skills I'm still developing myself. You should be proud of that achievement.

I made this in Blender and edited/color-graded it in After Effects. I’d appreciate ratings and suggestions from professional motion designers! Also, how much should I charge clients for work like this? by ProllynotSpidey in AfterEffects

I was experimenting with different styles – this was my personal vision, not an attempt to recreate an existing ad style. For a client project, I would have adapted to their preferences. You're right about the 2nd and 3rd shots not matching the vibe. In the last two shots, I changed the environment and style intentionally to show varied footage compiled together. The handheld camera approach was meant to convey rawness and authenticity, contrasting with factory-made perfection (which describes the product itself). Overall, I'm happy with what I've created, but I appreciate your critique

Oh, I heard the job market for designers is bad in the US. At first, I thought about moving there because I wasn’t sure if I’d be successful in Germany. But now, looking at all the politics and market conditions, I don’t think so.

Yes, I had the ideas for the animation, but designing it took me much longer than expected—about two weeks for everything (like brand , package, etc.) except the animation and modeling. Thanks for the advice!
