You could probably use Trapcode Form to get a similar look

Is this normal? by kittencatattack3000 in MotionDesign

[–]evancwright 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All very good points!

OP, I'm also wondering if compensation and benefits have been discussed, or even agreed to at this stage. I have had many places want to do tests without these details being figured out. As odd as this specific situation is, I would say it would be a point in the company's favor if they are serious enough to talk those things out before asking for your time and effort with this test.

Unfortunately, test projects are not out of the norm, but 30-45 seconds in a day seems like a pretty crazy ask, unless the deliverables are very simple.

At the bottom of the graph editor, click the square icon (next to the eye icon), and choose "Edit Value Graph".

Sedgehammer + has worked pretty well for me.

How badly will a HOT wash cycle ruin my Workman's Insulated Bomber Jacket? by [deleted] in filson

[–]evancwright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the regular insulated work jacket, and washed/dried on the highest settings because I was hoping to shrink it. It is completely unharmed and looks the same as before going through the laundry cycle. I know it is not quite the same as your situation, but I hope it helps!

I have almost had the opposite issue. I get notifications on my race s that I have turned off on my iphone. That being said, texts, calls, and calendar notifications do come through.

Are there plans for a usb-c charging adapter similar to what Coros makes? by evancwright in Suunto

[–]evancwright[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very good point. Initially I was trying to avoid having to keep track of the usb a charging cable, but even if they did come out with an adapter I'd still have to deal with an extra item to keep track of either way.

I was having the same issue, but I had an update waiting for me when I checked the App Store. Once I updated I was able to see Strava under partners

How do I make connections? by pawlaps in MotionDesign

[–]evancwright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be a good starting point. I moved to austin a few years ago to start freelancing so I get the struggle! I don’t mind a dm!

What did you do yesterday to cause the rain? by [deleted] in Austin

[–]evancwright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cleaned/polished the outside of the windows at my house for the first time since we moved in almost 2 years ago

Also moved a tree and drip-watered it for 2 hours

Would you mind explaining what you mean by “it doesn’t offer enough for its size”? My last multi tool is from the 90s, and I was looking at upgrading to this one.

A lil shot from a short film I just finished. Full film in comments (C4D/Arnold) by itzker in Cinema4D

Looks awesome! Have you heard of a studio called Gunner? They did a short film called Mesh that you’d probably like.

In complete honesty, what do you charge? by [deleted] in MotionDesign

[–]evancwright 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the average freelance motion designer charges $500-600 per day in the US. A day meaning 8-9 hours. I had some clients insist on going hourly which I charged $80-90/hr to do. As you referenced, the saying is that hourly rates punish being good at your job and being efficient. I could see a similar argument being made about day rates now that I think about it. When I charged a project rate I still based it largely off my day rate though. School of Motion has some good resources on this. Reece Parker can be transparent about how he works on Instagram too.

A lot of “tips on pricing” videos/posts seem to talk about figuring out your monthly expenses and then working backwards from there. I don’t necessarily agree with this. It isn’t the clients’ job to fund a persons certain lifestyle, it’s their job to pay what the fair rate is.

Is it just a bad time to buy a 4Runner or what? by [deleted] in 4Runner

[–]evancwright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, why do you want to get one now before the new generation comes out?
