How to Design for Animation with Ordinary Folk

[@motionfiction9353]

We would love to see more interviews from Agencies like ordinary folks. I really love how Joey hit perfect spot by asking right question. Love from India

[@gbambagirl]

OF is my favorite mo design studio. ever. forever!

[@eladbari]

@37:00 - This color question deserves a course of it's own. Mixing and matching colors in the right place, on the right element - is something no one talks about. Finding a cool color scheme isn't enough

[@styleframesat]

So many golden nuggets from Jorge and Avi in this interview. Keep up the format SOM! It’s great 👏

[@AkshayBhimaya]

Love that Jorge and Avi balance each other out with their opinions and advise to both serve the larger narrative and going the extra mile to do justice to the design but have fun while doing it and also trusting your instincts.

[@ibrahimwaleedajibola7612]

This is Masterpiece. Very helpful to have in mind as a creative. Thanks Avi And Jorge for sharing. thanks School of Motion for this avenue amd Joey for brilliant questions and being a wonderful host.

[@parsanateghi6483]

Great interview! It's really cool to hear from people who are doing amazing work in the industry. Big thanks, Joey!

[@Nicknack285]

Love Ordinary Folk! They have amazing work!

[@iMuhammadkhalil]

No way am I going to skip Jorge Rolando Canedo Estrada. This man is a Goat in the motion design industry.

[@jakubjezovic]

Thank you, what a nice surprise :)

[@zachr0]

Saying you either have it or you don't, spoken like a true calvinist haha... (not sure if Jorge is calvinist, but I believe he worked with piper at one point.) All the love to Jorge and crew. JR's "Crazy Enough" is what made me fall in love with animation.

[@OnAWireStudios]

If he isn't a Calvinist, I'd be surprised! Done some things with Ligonier as well, and the title sequence for the Puritan film. This guy is what Christian creatives should be: the most creative people reflecting the creativity of the Creator of heaven and earth.

[@zachr0]

@@OnAWireStudios He's an inspiration for sure. Personally I think creative talent and expression is gifted to all people, no matter the religion or creed.

[@Zeigerful]

Will all of the school of motion courses be upgraded in the near future? I didn't want to take some of those because they use quite old software, so it would be appreciated if they all get upgraded somewhere in the next few years.

[@julianaconidi]

Great interview with these two! Loved hearing about Avi's creative process.

[@orduenshambe4891]

They should do a motion design course . Awesome boards

[@eladbari]

I peeked at some of their project files, and man! They are heavy as hell! My PC can't handle it. They must work on i9's 128GB Ram GTX4090's or something, cause otherwise you can work fluidly at all. All of those shape layers within a single scene get super heavy.

[@zachlindemann]

love the 156/Silence shirt Joey

[@martinbajsic4836]

top notch questions! top notch agency!

[@omriwr]

Yes! GOAT feat. GOAT!! You should charge for this one lol

[@leonardorivas5580]

Looking forward to this course. 😎

[@eugeneconstable4861]

This is gold!

[@bharat5194]

Their work is inspiring!

[@lassako]

Such an inspiring interview! Does anyone know what software the storyboard is viewed in at 26:22 ? It may look like Milanote but not sure 100%.

[@ignesnegativo]

Does anybody knows the author or any other info about the book that Avi mentions at 48:04 "The Art of Perception"?

[@DolioFoilio]

I'm trying to find it too, to no avail...

[@arturoacevedobravo]

Love.

[@maclad7763]

Bestttt!!!

[@intrinsicload]

At 23:35 I'm curious what software they use to storyboard

[@joeykorenman]

For this one, Avi used Procreate for sketching and then Adobe Illustrator for the final boards.

[@Big_Llama]

Sooo good y'all

[@JesseMoffett]

Not so "ordinary folk" is So amazing!

[@ojeewalefoh3772]

this is nice

[@nicktheritter]

I think artistic taste is innate in being human. It's more a matter of developing the sensitivity to recognize your taste and the skill to render it. So, Jorge's right: you have it or you don't--I just believe that everyone has it.

[@zachr0]

I think everyone universally has a sense of beauty or a desire for beautiful things. But people have varying degrees of ability to express themselves through different artforms; speaking, writing, music, building etc. I think some people are born with a proclivity towards a certain artform; think of a savant piano player vs someone who is tone deaf. But I'm not sure if its talent is like an "on or off switch", but more a matter of varying degrees.

[@Pvt.punchy]

its unfortunate Ordinary Folk waste so much talent on pieces about out-dated and hateful dogmas like Christianity but its hard to not love how much work they put in to make art and motion design at the highest-level, accessible for anyone with their project files.

[@OnAWireStudios]

Truth is never outdated, my friend :) And love only hates that which militates against what is good.

[@eladbari]

My PC blew up trying to play those projects files :)

[@Pvt.punchy]

@@OnAWireStudios i also use words like Truth while making a totally subjective claim never proven at any point in all of recorded history💀💀💀

[@Pvt.punchy]

@@eladbari they are great no doubt

[@martinbajsic4836]

calling any religion an outdated dogma 😂 wild…

[@beachchickensmedia]

The best animators in the industry 🫡
