Strength vs Capability is an AMAZING way to put it.
Motion Templates, Toolkits and Automation for teams in sports who prioritize speed without sacrificing quality!
I'm starting to see blended Graphic + Motion designer roles listed. Even though they both have "Designer" in their title, Graphic Designer + Motion Designer are different roles. Think of it in terms of a Photographer and a Videographer. If you want the highest quality static images, you hire a Photographer. If you want the highest quality moving images, you hire a Videographer. Can you hire one and ask them to do both? Sure...as long as you understand there are tradeoffs. Graphic Designers are great at crafting a compelling static image. Motion Designers are great at crafting compelling moving images. Are there people in sports who can do both? Yes. Are there people in sports who can do both at a high level? I haven't seen it in the salary range that sports teams hire internally. One is typically a strength and the other is a capability (ie. capable enough of doing in a pinch). A better approach is to team up a graphic designer and a motion designer. Let them each play to strengths. If you can do both at a high level, post your reel in comments, I'd love to see it! #design #motiondesign #smsports

🤙To HRs on a note ✍️ Fully support this thoughts. Additionally I can say about Motion designer and Animator - the first is about Motion graphics and the second is about Character animation. To be a good animator its a hard way, especially for 3D, such as to become good motion designer, but this is different roles in the pipeline.

It’s a sad state of affairs that coincides with the advent and rise of AI and the likes of apps and platforms that take a reductive approach to high-specialist skills to give corporate laymen some simulation of creative control without understanding the fundamentals. Like the fact an icon is different than a logo which is different from branding. Designing for static vs motion comes with their own unique sets of issues and tacit that is ever evolving based on platforms, trends and idiosyncrasies.

Commercial Photographer + Director | Producer | Conceptualist | LinkedIn Vigilante
Last year I rebranded to focus on the photography work that is most authentic to me—health and wellness (AKA fitness, sports, active lifestyle). When I made this change it rendered all of the directing projects I’d done in the past as useless and wiped out my entire motion section on my portfolio. Clients won’t hire you for something they aren’t 100% sure you can do, so I knew what I had to show them I’m capable before I can get the work. Rebuild and start from scratch. We creatives are faced with this reality more often than you’d think. The daunting task of restarting, reworking, and renovating our work. It can be a daunting task because there are often many moving parts and massive expenses involved. Building a new portfolio or motion reel without client money is not easy. You take on the role of producer, location scout, casting director, creative director, and photographer/director. You build teams and convince them to get on board with your specific vision. You spend weeks and months nailing in timing that works for everyone and trying to lock in talent that won’t get booked from under you (since you’re generally paying discounted or trade rates). You’re relying on relationships you’ve spent time building and you’re making sure anything you do is worth their time. The work that photographers, directors, cinematographers, talent, wardrobe stylists, and makeup artists put into their work just in *hopes* of landing a paid job is truly something to revere. This is why I’m proud to be a part of this industry, and this is why the creative community is fighting like hell to keep the jobs that we’ve worked so hard to build. Here’s some bts from my recent motion production I pulled off with an INSANE team to build out my new/improved directors reel (coming soon..). 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Government Contractor, Fractional CoS & COO, People Strategist & Creative Director; Board Member
Exactly. I provide elegant and professional #visualgraphics and #graphiccommunications. Yes, I work with my photographer to capture requested images. But I’m not a photographer. Yes, I create corporate videos but videography is performed by my videographer. Yes, I design a variety of graphics and work with artists, but I’m not an artist. I pull all of these components and redesign into client and branded assets. I provide #creativesolutions and specialize in #visual and #graphic #communications. @the pipeline strategies #strategicresources #peoplestrategies #creativesolutions
Dear Hiring Managers, Graphic designers are not: Videographers Animators Illustrators Web Developers Photographers Video Editors Social Media Managers IT Support These are all separate roles, stop combining them.
