What Interviewers Evaluate

Frequently Asked Questions

What tools should I master?

After Effects is foundational for motion design. Know prototyping tools like Principle, ProtoPie, or Figma's animation features for UI motion. Understanding Lottie for web/mobile implementation helps bridge design and development. The specific tools matter less than demonstrating strong animation principles and ability to learn new tools.

Is a reel required?

Yes, a motion design portfolio or reel is typically expected. Show range across project types—UI animations, explainer videos, or brand motion. Quality matters more than quantity. Be prepared to discuss your process, decisions, and how animations solved specific problems or enhanced user experience.

How technical should I be?

Understanding implementation constraints improves your motion design. Know basics of CSS animations, Lottie export, and performance considerations. While you won't write production code, speaking developers' language helps you design animations that are feasible to implement and perform well across devices.

What about 3D skills?

3D skills in Cinema 4D, Blender, or similar tools are valuable but not always required. Some motion design roles focus heavily on 3D while others emphasize 2D UI animation. Check job descriptions for specific requirements. Having 3D capabilities expands your versatility even if not the primary focus.
