This video has been by far the biggest production on the channel so massive thanks to Andrew and Jake for helping to make it happen! Who would you like me to face off against in upcoming episodes?
I really love how this mirrors an actual client experience, but with great humor and curveballs thrown in -- even down to the project manager telling the client "no problem!" right near the end!
Great idea, Ben! The feedback was hilarious and over-the-top and very close to reality. Favorite client feedback: 'Not what I had in mind' 'I don't know, but I'll know it when I see it' Precisely!
GAH! The stress was incredible. I imagine this is how people feel watching cooking shows. I'm sure a ton of work goes into these but YOU BOTH DID SO WELL! I would love to see more of these.
OMG Ben, loving this content! Motion designers are tired of watching the same old motion design tutorials, we need more content like this. The next opponent could be Joey from the School of Motion or Andrew Kramer from Video Copilot just a thought or ;) Looking forward to more content like this :)
I enjoyed watching this and felt the stress haha, for 30 minutes these are awesome, also idk about the client but from an artistic standpoint I personally prefer Ben's animation
I thought the same too. I am not a professional designer. I just do that as a hobby, but I definitely believe Ben's version is better and more aesthetically pleasing, but I guess the project wasn't to appeal for a young modern client, rather an old-style client.. which sometimes can be hard especially if you are a young designer influenced by modern styles.
I think we need a guest that will go full Gordon Ramsay have a hissy fit and fire the judge. "What does the client know I am MegaMotion, I pen pure fire"
My favourite two TH-camr's battling it out! Amazing video Ben and Jake! If you need a challenger that hasn't touched AE for about two years to give you a chance Ben, you know who to come to. 😂
a brief of a movie title sequence, or ident, theyre always predictable and cheesy would be good to see something more artist-led - fantastic video was a real pleasure to watch :)
I really enjoyed the video and had my had my absolute favorite out of two. I also loved the wheat idea it really started looking rural to me right after the wheat appeared even though I didn’t know the word itself before:) I laughed out loud on each client’s comment, that was beautiful thank you guys, I had great time
I think is amazing the fact you took time to add gradient shadows inside the pit you created to make it look deep. Amazing work both you guys! (You and Jake are absolutely essential people in teaching animation) Greetings from Brazil!
Ariel Costa aka blink my brain please!!!!! you nailed it with the feedback and the brief, it's as if clients get together or have tutorials of their own at being clients
I can't wait for more, this video was the best surprise! Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into your content. Currently working through MMD :)
Seeing how creative blocks are easily managed by simply thinking outside the problem. Watching random pictures and video could give you the solutions to the problems. Thanks Ben for this video. I love it.
This video was so fun to watch!! Another one where I say I wish I could like it twice. 16:24 Ben's smirk and shaking of head to jakes presentation lol (not trying to cause a stir here but I saw it 🤭) The clients emails were hillarious and the inbetween art for the stages (like 12:50) was super cool. Your skill and the way you work inspires me so much!! I could watch you all day while I procrastinate my own work. This was super impressive. Please, more!
Following, loving and thanking constantly both of you for the real solutions to everyday work you give on tips and workarounds, this Challenge not only got me glued with intrigue and fun, but reminded me the constant crap we Motion Designers face with clients every day. And, Oh boy...The Rural and turquoise made me laugh and screech at the same time. Thanks a lot!
two of my favourite motion design youtuber battle againest each other with thier motion skills, what content can be better than this! looking forward to the series 😊
Oh guys, that was so funny and I felt a kind of relief. It was great to see that the masters of motion go through the same problems with client requires, struggle moments and rush time. Great content, cheers!
This is so good and funny!!! Thank you for putting this together what a great concept and great team to start off! entertaining and insightful :) I am looking forward to the next episodes!
OMG, this is amazing! Jake and you have taught me so much through the years. You should start an Ultimate Motion Designer tournament with all the lots from SOM and all the heavyweights from Skillshare and TH-cam. Mid way through the tournament you have to team up to win a challenge against Aaron Blaise or the Bancroft brothers.
I never expected to see you both competing! I was so stressed to see you both trying to do an animation in 30 minutes. I did sweat badly! This video is a real example of even the best animator has struggled with a brief like that. Looking at your works, I always thought that with your magnificent creativity, animation skills, tools, and experience, you guys wouldn't have the issue of being that frustrated. Still, you felt it, telling me to myself: man, even the masters, have those issues. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much! FIV: I liked both ideas ;-)
Hey Ben. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this, very cool format! Even watching this, we learned something of yours and Jake's process. The client feedback made me chuckle, all too familiar. My suggestions for your next battle opponents are: JR Canest (Jorge Rolando Candeo Estrada) from Ordinary Folk or ECAbrams
Interesting! It was a fun activity after a lot of serious tutorials, I would be so excited and happy to see you two together again! and also it would be so nice if you could show more of your working process rather than just the result of your work, in order for us to learn more ,not just entertain, Thanks!
This was amazing!!! So much fun. Although I did have to take a second and third look to find where Jake used turquoise... so maybe his score was a little high? :D Awesome video.
This was really fun, both Ben and Jake were Incredible in a such short time! I think you should either consider increasing the time limit or making the challenge easier by giving a series of ideas to choose from with the brief, to cut down ideation time. Also, the Initial logo that Andrew displayed just to mess with you guys, would have been something to watch you guys compete over. Maybe taking the whole day's time? Thanks!
Loved the video! ❤ Sometimes the deadline doesn't allow us to make mind-blowing stuff, so it was nice seeing two pros dealing with this situation. I'd be great to see you go against ECAbrams in the future.
This was a really fun video to watch, loved the energy. Love to see more video like this. Suggestion - a short explainer for the next 😅 if possible but love it all .
Yooo.. this was dope... We need more of these!!!! Shows the reality of situations!! Can't wait to see who's next!... Maybe not just after affects... If it's a challenge on motion graphics.. why not reaching out the community of davinci resolve.. epic!!!
This video has been by far the biggest production on the channel so massive thanks to Andrew and Jake for helping to make it happen! Who would you like me to face off against in upcoming episodes?
Maybe Gareso?
Motion by nick
This was so great! Manon Louart is a great motion designer, especially with typograhpy.
with Sander
van Dijk @Regulus
Why not a woman, this time? Bee Grandinetti, Linn Fritz or Lana Simanenkova...
A legendary battle for the ages! This was a lot of fun.
It was an honor to compete under your perfectly reasonable brief :D
Andrew, I was laughing out loud when I heard the client's feedbacks 🤣 I can kinda relate to all of them :d hahaha. Great job!
The whiteboard in your background 🤣
That was extremely entertaining - great job!
I really love how this mirrors an actual client experience, but with great humor and curveballs thrown in -- even down to the project manager telling the client "no problem!" right near the end!
I cried of laughter with every client interaction, amazing and incredible relatable
This should become a Netflix series!
You listening Netflix? XD
Only if Henry Cavill plays me....
thank you i agree😂😂😂
I can already see the title animation in my head for the the “mograph wars” 😁👍
Haha. Yes and yes. Universe make it happen. 🤓 This was very enjoyable and Ben cracks me up.
THIS IS FU**ING AWESOME! I love how involved everyone in this video is. Treat to watch!
Ben spent 25 of the 30 production minutes working on the morph 😂 He's definitely my spirit animal
Sharpening the axe before he made the cut ***
the names Ben Marriott and Jake Bartlet go so well together, idk why
Designers usually don't like working under pressure，but this kind of game is really a show that people like to watch
i challenge you ben marriott (unless you’re scared)
Great idea, Ben! The feedback was hilarious and over-the-top and very close to reality.
Favorite client feedback:
'Not what I had in mind'
'I don't know, but I'll know it when I see it'
Precisely!
We need more like this Ben ❤️ you great!
Thanks Shotiko! Hopefully we can push this to 8 seasons before I get recast by a younger actor
@@BenMarriott naaahh... I won't watch it if your role get recasted in the last season
GAH! The stress was incredible. I imagine this is how people feel watching cooking shows. I'm sure a ton of work goes into these but YOU BOTH DID SO WELL! I would love to see more of these.
This format was excellent! Super repeatable too. Andrew did a great job coming up with realistic client scenarios too 😅
They were inspired by real life events. 😅😣
this is the best thing I've seen on YT so far😅
eager to see more!!
That client slides and the way it got presented was incredible
OMG Ben, loving this content! Motion designers are tired of watching the same old motion design tutorials, we need more content like this.
The next opponent could be Joey from the School of Motion or Andrew Kramer from Video Copilot just a thought or ;)
Looking forward to more content like this :)
yeah I agree as well
@Parth Dake agreed! Love his work! His movie nothing was soooo good!
This is gold! Great competition and loved all the hilarious client feedback/wishes
What an incredible idea, you two (three) are brilliant.
Thank you for being you and your service throughout these years.
The client feedback was spot on 😂
Omg, please please please make this a series!! Amazing job to everyone involved!
I enjoyed watching this and felt the stress haha, for 30 minutes these are awesome, also idk about the client but from an artistic standpoint I personally prefer Ben's animation
Glad the stress came through the lens! Thanks for supporting the right team. Your cheque is in the mail ;)
@@BenMarriott 🤣🤣🤣
💯
@@BenMarriott I prayed during the match.. I want one too

I really love seeing motion graphic designers compete, it motivates me so much
This is SUCH a damn good idea for a reality show. The way it's spliced together, the random changes, ugh, someone needs to pick this idea up.
My favourite two TH-camr's battling it out! Amazing video Ben and Jake! If you need a challenger that hasn't touched AE for about two years to give you a chance Ben, you know who to come to. 😂
Haha, thanks Hayley! hopefully we get greenlit for a full season :D
@@BenMarriott Do it!
What a trio. I didn’t know I wanted this, but I knew when I saw it
It was so funny to watch! Thank you, wanna ser more of this kind of challenges!
Two of my favorite channels. Worlds are colliding!
a brief of a movie title sequence, or ident, theyre always predictable and cheesy would be good to see something more artist-led - fantastic video was a real pleasure to watch :)

2 of my fav dudes in motion at the same time! respect!
I had so much fun and you were awesome guys! Very cool and I can't wait to see what you will do next! THX!
I think is amazing the fact you took time to add gradient shadows inside the pit you created to make it look deep. Amazing work both you guys! (You and Jake are absolutely essential people in teaching animation)
Greetings from Brazil!
this is so fun to watch, i think i'll need more like this in the future
Exciting challenge 😊. I learnt a great deal here with the effects used and thinking ability.
I'll be anticipating the next challenge 😁❤️.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! It pushed my thinking to it's limits not having days to think of ideas and nights to sleep on it.
Ariel Costa aka blink my brain please!!!!! you nailed it with the feedback and the brief, it's as if clients get together or have tutorials of their own at being clients
This was amazing to watch... The client commenst were hilarious!
Please, more of that. Wonderful video idea. A competition against James Curren would be the highlight of my life.
such pleasure. lot of fun. thanks, guys
This was awesome, It reminded me a lot of the clients I had to deal with when I used to work at the agency, only this time was fun to watch
So long watching and loving you both and now this video, I love it madly! I owe so much to you both!!!!
Thanks so much for watching, and thanks even more for loving! (hate-watching is also acceptable, but not preferred.)
@@BenMarriott I've been loving and watching you and Jake for a long time...probably 4 years. And you both have shown me how to do and create a lot!
Best motion designers in the field, love u both❤❤
Now that's some love! thanks Mohamed :D
This is so fun to watch amazing people, not only fun watching, but it makes us understand how you guys think while making something.
Man, you're rocks! Thank You for your course !!! I've learned so much!!!
The UPSET. Well done you two, those were some speedy keyframes!
Woow!!! This is a great concept for a TV show. Congratulations for the video!!! I want to see more like this

This was a lot of fun to watch! and very insightful, Learned a bunch. Thanks!
This is how challenging some clients can be. I love this. Thanks for sharing.
This was such an awesome video! Really appreciate all the effort in here Ben! Great to see the the whole process
This is one of the definitely more cool content for after effects user, is incredible. Love it so much!!!
Seeing how creative blocks are easily managed by simply thinking outside the problem. Watching random pictures and video could give you the solutions to the problems. Thanks Ben for this video. I love it.
This video was so fun to watch!! Another one where I say I wish I could like it twice.
16:24 Ben's smirk and shaking of head to jakes presentation lol (not trying to cause a stir here but I saw it 🤭)
The clients emails were hillarious and the inbetween art for the stages (like 12:50) was super cool.
Your skill and the way you work inspires me so much!! I could watch you all day while I procrastinate my own work.
This was super impressive.
Please, more!
This video was awesome! It was cool watching how you both approach the design & animation process differently. Great work all around!
I enjoyed watching it so much! Great content and fantastic post-production. That was so intriguing, haha. Cheers!

Jake & Ben two best motion designer of all time. You guys are amazing.. Your TH-cam videos, courses, works are super creative! Keep going. 💯🔥

I need more of these content! I enjoyed it so much it's like watching a cooking show but for motion designers. Brilliant!
Oh guys, that was so funny and I felt a kind of relief. It was great to see that the masters of motion go through the same problems with client requires, struggle moments and rush time. Great content, cheers!
Learn a Lot from both Top Motion Designers
Thanks for Quality Content
Thanks so much for watching! I'm still fuming about the result though...
That was so much fun! And what an amazing job both Jake and Ben have done with such a small amount of time 😯
Such a great video and a great battle, more intense than Achilles vs Hector scene in Troy, we want more of this ❤
This is so good and funny!!! Thank you for putting this together what a great concept and great team to start off! entertaining and insightful :) I am looking forward to the next episodes!
the best match up ever! Nobody ask for this but every world need it! LOVE IT
Please make more of these! So good!
OMG, this is amazing! Jake and you have taught me so much through the years.
You should start an Ultimate Motion Designer tournament with all the lots from SOM and all the heavyweights from Skillshare and TH-cam.

Y'all remember the April Fool's Day prank YT did. It was a where TY would send you DVDs of their whole library. Was pretty funny.
This was so so good!
That forgetting to the trim your work area had me in stitches 😂 happens all the time
I had a huge smile on my face the entire time during this. really loved it! I'm sure it was a ton of work, hope you can do more!
both concepts are just a home run, tho.
being cmpltly honest, loved both of those incredible animations
That was great! Couldn’t think of a better opponent than Jake!
Really enjoy this, Both of you are my favorite motion designer. Want more bettle Ben.
I never expected to see you both competing!

FIV: I liked both ideas ;-)
This is the best! More of that.
Comedy, action, suspense all in one package!
I love this, I expect continuation of this series cheese🛴
Great vid! Andrew as the "Brief Master" played such a pivotal role! The client comments were the best- MY FAVORITE COLOR IS TURQUOISE!
Hey Ben. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this, very cool format! Even watching this, we learned something of yours and Jake's process. The client feedback made me chuckle, all too familiar.
My suggestions for your next battle opponents are: JR Canest (Jorge Rolando Candeo Estrada) from Ordinary Folk or ECAbrams
the idea is so great and inspiring! The next quest could be Sander van Dujk :)
This was so much fun to watch. I was really excited to see all of the elements come together after seeing you create the sets on Instagram!
im all ready learn jake bartlett tutorial .....thanks jake
Those client feedback cuts sooo deep
Could of done a boxing style ‘tale of the tape’ introducing the contestants at the start? Great vid though, really enjoyed it.
Interesting!
It was a fun activity after a lot of serious tutorials,
I would be so excited and happy to see you two together again!
and also it would be so nice if you could show more of your working process rather than just the result of your work, in order for us to learn more ,not just entertain,
Thanks!
Looking forward to seeing more of these videos!
My two favorite motion graphic teachers
amazing video, the CC Light Sweep part was hilarious ahaha
This was amazing. I’d watch so many episodes of this.
That's so cool you came up with this idea! I follow and admire you both :)
this is amazing, i laugh so hard in the client feedback. loved this style of video, inspiring and entertaining. thanks ben!
