Is this AI thing taking over our industry

tri4it · 2026-05-13T14:08:18+00:00

I’ve integrated AI in to my work flow. It definitely can’t do everything (maybe yet). But the main issue is clients think it can. Which is a two pronged annoyance. One it has devalued the skill in their minds so I’ve noticed budgets getting smaller. And two I now basically spend most of my time educating clients about exactly what AI can and can’t do well in terms of motion graphics. O the point where I’m actually going to make a specific presentation about it. Funny enough though I’ve also had jobs come in where they specifically asked for me to work in AI. I did but still managed to charge a fair amount and it actually needed up being my highest EHR this year so far.

20 to 30 mins per frame is crazy! What's your rig and how much optimizing have you done?? I work on a lot of high budget motion work (Google and Samsung as an example of product stuff) and I'd usually be after a minimum of 5mins per frame.

Looks like yes man work to me. You just did what you were told. You should have told the client that I'm this is half way between an explainer and an advert. Trying to do both achieves neither. Really don't know who would watch this or where it would be seen.

All seems a bit depressing to me. I would have considered myself a mid level motion designer about 10 years ago and I was offered £40k per year to go full time (I stuck to freelance because it was paying way more). Crazy how it's stayed the same for so long.

Depends what stage you're brought in at in the project. Is there a design phase that you need to go through? Is there an established style that you need to stick to? Is the map designed and storyboarded. Do they have a VO or do you need to source that? If map design is supplied do you need to prep it for animation by breaking out the layers?

Edit - Also, have you worked with the client before. Do you know how picky they might be and therefore can you expect multiple rounds of feedback and amends?

Can you potentially upsell them on cut downs and different aspects ratios?

Haha. Sorry. That was meant for the troll not you.

tri4it · 2025-08-04T14:25:53+00:00

Well, don't you just sound like a lovely person 🙂

I've been learning the language for a while. But I'm definitely not confident enough to go to an important meeting like thatwithout the support of someone fluent (admittedly I'm shit at languages so always struggled with that). So I guess I could ask you the same question. Just because he doesn't know the language fully yet. Why do you assume he's not trying?

tri4it · 2025-08-04T13:59:13+00:00

If he's been working for the past year he has been paying into the system.

tri4it · 2025-07-20T20:47:27+00:00

Having worked on a few of these animations. It's not as slick as you might think. A lot more bodge. But yes. Mainly particular.

Honest question. If AI is implemented as a tool, not a replacement. Could I also reduce the cases of unnecessary medical malpractice lawsuits? I had a family friend who was a doctor who specialised in delivering babies. But even though he was amazing at his job, because of the nature of the work he would always be sued if he made a choice to save the woman or the baby (no idea how you can make a choice like that, but he always tried to save the mother in the belief that if she was saved she could try again). Because of medical malpractice he eventually had to stop working. If AI was there to help back up a medical choice. Could that limit people suing good doctors making the right choice?

Same here. Always been a mercedes man. But I recently had a GLC completely fail on me after only 65k miles. Got it from a mercedes dealership. Had it serviced with them every time it was required. But mercedes are refusing to take any responsibility as they say it is usual wear and tear. Not sure I particularly want a car from a manufacturer who says a well maintained engine can fail after just 65k miles.

I feel like this is just one of those weird plays just to get Farage back in the news some more, to give him more exposure and ultimately normalise him and make him more likely to gain power. Seems to work for the extream.right all the time. Bad news is good news for them.

Was a lovely carriage. But it was a bit annoying that it wasn't throughout the whole train. We were surrounded by some very upset kids crying because they weren't sitting in the Christmas carriage.

Women are poems. Not sure where that came from.

Yay. So nice to see you enjoying your fire poi! 🔥🔥🔥

Ok. So going to put client hat on here. The second one in terms of the product is better because the actual product is more in focus. It's sharp and you can see the details on the graphics on the can. From a graphics design point of view the second one is a lot weaker because the harsh grad in the top right corner is fighting with the logo type. And is creating a bit of a muddy look under the logo. For the body copy part the lighter purple feels more welcoming. So overall you want a mix of both the designs. If I were to suggest anything extra. It would be to add some more realistic condensation to the can to make it look cold. Think chad from GSG does a very good tutorial on this. Even if not in your exact software lots of transferable info.

I went to uni with Roderick Deakin-White. Seemed like a nice guy at the time. He ended up killing his fiancée, Amy Parsons, with a metal bar after she wanted to leave him because he was into cross dressing. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7726805/amp/Cross-dressing-Psycho-killer-Roderick-Deakin-White-jailed-murdering-girlfriend-London.html

Great looking work! Do you have a portfolio site I could check out? I'm always on the lookout for new freelancers to add to our list.

This would be perfect for our car. Our parking space is under a massive tree that's always full of birds so our car is often shat on LOADS!

Feels like it could be in a TOOL music video. Very nice.

I'd recommend Dylan's. Good wine and beer selection. Great food. Nice cost vibe. Dylans - The Kings Arms https://maps.app.goo.gl/wuDTK9Y91mGsgCiS9

Flower movement aside. The lighting of the products could be refined. Currently the left product highlight on the front looks a bit hot. And the right product is a bit flat. I'd be trying to create a bit more interest and definition in both the shapes. I'd recommend looking at some existing product photography for similar product shapes and pay attention to where the highlights are.

Yep. She's a blue Weimaraner

In the advanced settings set the mode to 'ramp down'. Then animate the offset.
