1. Plenty of animation chops, much weaker design chops. I really believe that design > animation when it comes to great work. Even just learning the basics (composition, value structure, typography, hierarchy) will be game-changers for most motion designers.

3. Forgetting that companies hire PEOPLE, not portfolios. Having good work is table-stakes, but having a friendly, respectful persona will make clients WANT to meet and work with you. Show me a picture of you, tell me about your pets, don't be arrogant.

If you've followed
@schoolofmotion

@rive_app

2. Overly clever / out-of-the-box portfolio sites. I think 99% of artists should stick with a
@squarespace
or
@AdobePortfolio
grid-based layout. Keep it simple. Show me a grid of work, process write ups inside individual posts, and a simple About page. That's all you need.

Whoever told you that nobody animates frame-by-frame anymore is quite misinformed. Even if you animate 100% in After Effects, you’ll have keyframes on every frame sometimes.
Yesterday I spent hours learning to do frame-by-frame animation and someone messaged me saying that no one does frame-to-frame anymore and it's a waste of time. Today when I got up I received a message from one of my favorite animators saying that he congratulates me in becoming

Why are artists not up in arms about the rotoscoping datasets used to train tools like Rotobrush or SmartRoto or RunwayML? I assume those tools also used human-generated content for training.

Will the current batch of AI video generators ever get better than 3-4 seconds of "stunning looking imagery with slow camera drifts and barely any movement" ???
