You may have heard this before, but when it comes to pitching motion design work to clients, reciting industry terminology doesn’t get you the job. You shouldn’t have to feel like you need to oversell your work.
The trick is to pair your pitch with strong imagery, or in this case, styleframes. Styleframes are rendered 2D or 3D still images that determine the look of a motion design piece.
Clients love to stay in the loop. They want to know how your ideas align with their vision, and what that looks like. Styleframes won’t just help you in your pitch; they’ll help you tell stories in more meaningful and impactful ways.
