- Nod affirmatively - Pull up the budget - say nothing but stand prominently in front of your bookcase of animation awards. The situation will resolve itself.

If a situation like this arises, in around 70-80% of the time you are in quite early in the project. The visual of the script is slowly taking shape. Here is the perfect time to explain your creative vision for the project, listen carefully to the client's concern and evaluate and explain how the differences (if any) are impacting the project. In my experience most of the time these differences are, just a product of varying perspective. On very rare occasions, you have the final delivery and the client questions the output, please stick to your guts, and start looking out for previous communication over email and WhatsApp, which are in your favour

En el mundo de los VFX y Motion Graphics, las diferencias creativas con los clientes son inevitables, pero también pueden ser una oportunidad de mejora. 🔹Escuchar más allá de lo que piden. Cuando un cliente rechaza una propuesta, lo que realmente necesita es otra forma de comunicar su idea. Entender la intención detrás de su feedback es clave para encontrar un punto intermedio. 🔹Mostrar en vez de explicar. Las palabras a veces no bastan. Prefiero presentar ejemplos visuales, pruebas rápidas o alternativas para demostrar por qué una decisión creativa funciona mejor. 🔹Equilibrar creatividad y funcionalidad Busco soluciones que mantengan el impacto visual sin perder claridad, asegurando que el resultado final cumpla con ambos objetivos.

I’d thank the client for their feedback, ask for specifics on their concerns, and tie it back to the original brief. I’d explain our creative choices, suggest focused adjustments (like style tweaks or story edits), and flag any timeline/budget impacts. Then, I’d confirm next steps to keep us aligned and moving forward collaboratively.
