@motionhatch Yay!!! I can't wait Season 1 was a blast! Let's see what season 2 has for us
@motionhatch Oh nice! That'll be sick. 💪
@motionhatch Well, some financial advisors say we should always negotiate a price and ask for discount 🙂
@motionhatch Client: I have a budget of $500 so money is no object.
@motionhatch And then you give them a quote, and they go.. "oh we were hoping to only spend x amount" 🫠
@motionhatch Me: for that gigantic amount of work it will cost 50k. Client : oh we have a budget of £10
@motionhatch i never had issue with this i straight up give the range estimate and that's it, if they happy with it we start the work not happy with it we move on
@motionhatch Do you have any recommendations? It's my biggest problem during my freelance carrier 😅
@motionhatch Haha it’s the chicken or the egg….I always know it makes sense for clients to say this….but then 100% of the time we create a Bid and quote and they say…… “actually this is the budget we have in mind…lower” 🫠
@motionhatch Me: Projects like this normal cost in the range of £X-Y Client: (tells me their budget) Took me years to work that out *and some expensive coaching. Mostly the coaching 😂
@motionhatch Heck yes! Love following him on LinkedIn.
@motionhatch @jessicahische Oooh 🤩 This'll surely be a good one!
@motionhatch My favorite approach here is to just call the bluff. Client: "I can get it done cheaper by someone else." You: "Great! No need to negotiate with me then." This requires a lot of confidence though, and ideally the financial security to be able to pass on the work.
@motionhatch I've had instances where I wasn't paid for a project. Although, mine wasn't a case of misunderstanding. It was a matter of the client wanting to take advantage of me
@motionhatch When I'm not overworked and exhausted, I'm an early bird, which usually means being at the gym at 6 am.
Wow! 🤯 It’s been exactly 15 years since I recorded my first tutorial in my tiny apartment in Chicago and posted it on Greyscalegorilla. Back then I never would have imagined that we now are a 20+ person team full of amazing talent from around the world helping hundreds of…
It's 2009. A young @nickvegas uploads the first Greyscalegorilla tutorial. And the rest is history. Reminisce with our very FIRST tutorial and let us know if you have been with us since the beginning! 📽️: vimeo.com/3182802
🤝🥇 What a treat!
Our 2nd win in this year's Motion Awards is 'Three Little Pigs' for Weetabix, which won Best Single Spot Commercial 🥇 🐷 🐺 Combining 2d techniques, we worked with @BBHblacksheep and @stinkfilms to recreate a visual language inspired by the early Disney/Fleischer eras.
One of the GOAT studios is hiring! Don't pass up the chance to work with some of the nicest, most talented peeps in the biz!
WE’RE HIRING! Email folio to [email protected]
@motionhatch Personal work is paramount. Side hustle your path to FT freelance for a year and build up funds. Network like crazy. Don't be an asshole.
