Motion Plus Design Tokyo presentation
Added 2020-02-16 12:51:55 +0000 UTCHello dear friends,
Our Tokyo presentation is finally online. While this isnt the typical "I press this button and voila" presentation, I thought that some of you might find interesting our philosophy and approach behind YETI pictures.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

In our experience so far.. NOT A CHANCE haha. Unless u are rich or dont rely on money from motion design. In that case, u can be "my way or the highway" to everyone. Even with the best agencies, client's behaviour can be un predictable These situations just never end. U have no idea when u take over a project, no matter how good circumstances are, how it will eventually play out. Soon, we are taking a break here to finally do some personal stuff, declining any client job for some time. So.. to ur question, no i dont believe its possible. It becomes possible when u have money on the side. For once more money defines our actions :)

A lot of people share our background and im glad we found some similarities here. At the end of the day "success" is what makes u happy and calm in day to day basis. And I am glad that at least Tony and I are happy, at this point of our lives, with our work decisions :)

2020-02-17 11:57:16 +0000 UTCI love this! We kind of have a similar story as you describe. We started our company in 2002, 4 friends that quit our jobs in bigger companies. We had 2-3 years of hard almost unpaid projects in the cultural sector and we could treat these as our own personal projects. Having almost full creative controll. After a while bigger companies and tv stations got the eyes on us and we had 10 - 15 years of big budget projects with less and less creative freedom. We needed to scale up the team from 4 to 15+ persons. Then the explotion of streamed media , youtube, netflix etc happened resulting in projects budget being cut dramatically. We had to fire a bunch of people change the way we worked and our core bisniss. That was a painful periode. But the upside was that all of a sudden there was time to do personal projects again that fire new artistic thoughts and patternes. And the fun is back! Right now new cusotomers have got the eyes on us again based on our experimental stuff that are just based on having fun
