Sale of stills? So the art buyer went to a motion design place for illustrations? Then yes. You could charge usage for the stills or just build it into the “creative fee"

Vastly diff from what? What is a motion design EP? You rep an animator?

Motion design meaning, a post-production company whose core abilities are of design, and animation. We are not a graphic design studio producing still image campaigns.

Our bidding process is traditional—based on line-items and day/hourly talent rates, similar to a live action bid, etc.

My question is more: how does one price the commissioning, production ,and sale of stills? Is it based more on rights-usage rather than production labor? I’m assuming it’s similar to video and music licensing, but this is where I’m in the dark

Yes—a little odd that they came to us, but they really like our design work. Thanks for your input Appreciated.

That’s cool. Good luck!

Videos longer than 15 min get automatically shortened to 15 min on IG Reels! Help!

So, I usually host an IG live session. Typically, it last 45 min.

If I upload directly after recording the live, then the full 45 min is uploaded in 1080 x 1920 format. Besides missing a cover image, it’s fine. But, in most cases, I need to re-upload the 45 min video once I edit it (remove slurs, etc.)

However, when I upload my edited 45 video, it automatically gets cut to 15 min.

I found little workaround…

I just listened to an interview of a creative director recount their path towards copywriting at a famous ad agency. It could not have been a more textbook case of failing upwards as a white man.

It would seem the only thing you need to make it as an advertising creative is to have lots of not particularly original ideas. Practically every other skill is unnecessary. If you’re a white man.

That this level of mediocrity passes for talent explains why so many agency briefs are so lame.
