Starting a motion design studio is a daunting task, but it's exactly what a group of my friends have done at Yond. This dynamic team complements each other so well with their individual skill sets that they have broken into the motion design scene with force, and in this interview, we'll learn about how they've found their success. We cover all aspects of a motion design project, from client interactions to concepting and asset creation. We'll even get into some animation breakdowns in After Effects. This conversation gives excellent insight into what it takes to form a studio and create fantastic work.
Thanks so much to Kyle, Alesis, and Andrew for taking the time to give us a glimpse into how they work together.
