I know, clickbaity title. My first one, I guess.
Yes, I'm leaving. But don't worry, I'm not leaving TH-cam :)
In this video, I'm going to share my take on Generative AI, Sora, etc., and what I would do to handle the unknown situation.
Will we creatives be replaced by AI?
As a Motion Design Freelancer who has been in the creative business for a while now, I have experienced similar disruptive changes before.
Enjoy watching!

Totally loved this video. It's trully honest while confronting complex topics and still somehow keeps giving me a warm and peaceful feeling. Thank you Michael, and the best of lucks in your new space.
Thanks for this awesome video Michael. I started following you for AE tips and tuts and this video thumbnail got my attention. I’m even older than you but jumped onto the mograph bandwagon a little late. Just when it felt like I got the groove of it AI came out of nowhere and now i feel like I need to start learning all over again. It’s frustrating when you feel like you’re finally good at what you’re doing, your rice bowl looks secure and your retirement plans are going smoothly and all of a sudden you start worrying if you still have a job next month. This video definitely helped me on what to focus on, and I really appreciate you for making this video and giving great advice for people in this industry. Wishing you and all mograph designers all the best in the near future.
never would have guessed you were 49. Lots of solid points and food for thought
Thanks very much! 😎
Love this video! Your personal story is as interesting and inspiring. I can relate to many milestones you've mentioned.
Good luck on your new way/office/patreon
Thanks, Eran! As an “older” guy and someone who attended a film history course I love the classic film references in your tutorials….Metropolis, War of the Worlds, They live…..Epic 😎
Brilliant video man! We are the same generation and lived through the same. Everything you've mentioned I connect with. Thanks. If you ever come to Dublin let's definitely have a coffee. 🍵
Thank you very much! I was in Dublin 2016 during St. Patrick’s Day. We slept in….I think it was Swords. Yeah, or maybe Irish coffee 😃
@@MichaelPonch thats Dublin north. I live south (much nicer 😆). Irish Coffee even better!
Such a great video. I too have a Digital Beta tape on my shelf, it's one of my showreels from my time as a Quantel Hal Express operator - yes, we were called "operators" back then. I've had a similar journey to you... First as a Mac designer doing bits of everything (print, web, logos etc) then as a Motion Designer using HAL. Then back to the Mac with this new fangled thing called After Effects. I've been lucky enough to have had a career throughout this time - which is from around 1996 onwards. I am slightly older and will be 51 this year... though try telling my sense of humour that! The human touch, our ability to dream is (probably?) what will keep us ahead of the machines. Surely only the human mind could come up with something like surrealism, cubism, abstract expressionism etc. Yes we can now mimic those genres with AI tools that reflect what has come before, but without the human trailblazers there would be no art to reference. I like to think this can be applied, to some degree, to the motion design scene. As you suggest - it's up to us to push the tools we have to create something new. Good luck in your new space.
Thank you very much 😎. And nice to read your story and opinion. I was lucky to look over the shoulder of a Hal Operator during an internship. That was 1997 or something. It seemed like witch craft to me 😂. Unimaginable today but state-of-the-art that time to capture a pic via a video cam to get it into the system.
This is brilliant, thank you. I teach AfterEffects, looking forward to showing this to my students!
AI is developing to do art for me, so I can do laundry and house hold chores.... I want AI to do my laundry and house hold chores and NOT my art. Strange times we live in
Or finally find a solution to get rid of a simple cold for good 😊
I love your channel ! Thats an eye opening video ! Thank you !
Thanks very much. I appreciate it 😎
Such a great video at the right time. Love you, and you are one of my heroes. 😍🤩😘
Congratulations for making the move! I'm the complete opposite -- moving from office to remote home office. Speaking of AI, I have been creating so many AI explainer videos this past 1 year. I'm not so worried about AI trying to please clients with feedback like "more grit and less grunge, use more of a hopeful yellow instead of the Olympic one"
Thank you for this video. You spoke from your heart to our hearts.
thank you mate. i'm 40' and im relly strugling with all this. This video is comforting
Like many I would not have guessed your age Michael. But beyond that you’re a great storyteller and I really enjoyed this video. While AI is moving very fast and causing a lot of panic, I have hope that the reason humans create is for connection. At some point if AI takes all the jobs, it will be computers creating for each other and that would be fairly lonely and pointless.
A good step for you and a good recommendation for more humanity I guess. Keep up your good work. Viel Erfolg weiterhin!
Danke vielmals ☺️
P S- Still trying to understand which tools are considered AI for practical usage for motion. Fable Prism stylizes 2D animation. What else that can really speed/spice up our work..?
I haven’t tried them out yet. But I find these solutions interesting where you roughly sketch something or use simple 3D primitives and get a result in real-time. I think is is useful for quick look development.
Thank you for you honesty, i am also a veteran and cant help but feel exited about AI.
not only i get interesting knowledge but also get some lesson for life, thank u
Thanks, man 😊
1:46 onwards is amazing 😃 good luck for you!
Thanks very much 😎
By the time A.i can have an effect on freelance works, motion design, or video editing as a whole. We’d all be long gone, so your work continues young lads. 🙌🏾
Good that you only changed the office 🙂
What a great video! I wish I could give 1000 thumbs-up. I agree 100% 🙂
Thanks, Peter 😊. Appreciate it!
you're a legend Michael! we love ya
Thank you 😊
am learning and aspiring in this field. but after saw your video i feel broke now
That’s not my intention. Keep creating, man! The world will still need feeling humans.
Great video, keep up the good work.
Thank you 😊
Super interesting video. Thumbs up for the click bait title lol.
Ohh nooooooo
I'm genuinely surprised to learn your age. You seem so youthful!
Soon can we maybe transport like in space movies. Then i come and take a coffee 😀
At least I made two Transporter Effect tutorials after all 😊
no you are a good man i learn so many things
Thank you very much 😎
Problem with AI is that it outsources the process from the creator. The consumer (client) won't care but we need the process cause we grow from it and we can't feel connected to our work when it's not really done by us.
If AI won't take these motion jobs- it could definitely be a leverage to downpay because who pays you may say: "hey, it takes you just one second to make in AI, right?" :)
Yeah, the problem lies on us creatives. As you said the client/consumer doesn’t care if we are disconnected to our work. It’s a business after all. The consumer mostly looks for the best price. Everything else where we can run free with our creativity is called art 😊
@@MichaelPonch Nice to hear your thoughts, man. Yeah, if it's 80% good for the consumer- then it's a done deal. Most people didn't develop their eyes like ourselves to notice those fine details (that bug us but not them).
Problem with this direction is that if it lays so many People off, then we all become consumers and not producers. How does a society that is tilted towards mostly consumers looks like? We're all connected to each other. No man is an island. A company that wants to save money on their new campaign and gives AI to do it for them, ditches the artist/producer - which now doesn't have money to buy their new product. It goes full circle. If we're all being bums sitting at home- those companies won't be able to sell us cause we won't be able to afford it 😉
Did he said 80s?
Yeah, I watched E.T., Back to the Future, Star Wars Episode V&VI in the movie theaters. I only remember the 70s only vaguely 😊
I think its really simple. No AI will ever replace a good motion designer. ever.
In the beginning there where hand drawn frame by frame animations. then the computer came. it got easier and easier. today anybody can already do motion design also without AI. Is everybody doing it? No. Why?
They want to do other things. And maybe someday they need motion design. So they want to buy it as a service. Somebody who develops an idea, someone who sits down and does the work for them. The work of developing something. Thy want to book someone who has done motion design for years already and gained experience, knowledge and vocabulary. Maybe somebody with a distinct style. Why is that important?
If there is an AI and you tell it to do something and it does something and you think:"hmm... its not quite right but I don't know why, I cant point my finger on it" . Then you have to have the experience, knowledge and vocabulary as a motion designer to tell it what to fix. Something not just anybody could do. You have to then further develop it together with the AI. Doing iteration after iteration. Not much different then using classic software.
Maybe a motion designer who USES AI will replace one who doesn't.
Maybe someone who needs motion design, has no budget and is ok with just anything will use AI tools to do it without a motion designer. But in that case: Do you want to get book by that person?
What concerns me is the devaluing of our art form. We can adjust and adapt as you have. But AI threatens to cause people to look at good work and shrug it off as easy to do in AI though they themselves can’t.
Adapt...Evolve...or Go Extinct!
With AGI it will be game over, if they achieve that😅
you look great at 50.
Thanks. Like I said to another commenter it’s maybe the genes, doing some sports and most importantly my love to create 😊
Feelings is subjective matter- When people see what they like, thy don't care that a graphical artist took 20 hrs to something similar. Just he raw facts. AI is the future or at least will take over certain tasks and get better at it as well..Who really knows exactly what happens?
damn I would have never guessed your age
Maybe it’s the genes and doing some sports. But definitely my love to create 😊
okay boss. can u buy 2nd monitor like 32 inch.. i feeel bore watching ur mini studio hehe sorry
