Ultimate Motion Graphics Challenge vs Jake Bartlett 

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?

A legendary battle for the ages! This was a lot of fun.

This should become a Netflix series!

I cried of laughter with every client interaction, amazing and incredible relatable

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!

Ben spent 25 of the 30 production minutes working on the morph 😂 He's definitely my spirit animal

The client feedback was spot on 😂

This format was excellent! Super repeatable too. Andrew did a great job coming up with realistic client scenarios too 😅

We need more like this Ben ❤️ you great!

the names Ben Marriott and Jake Bartlet go so well together, idk why

Great concept! Looking forward to more of this in a series

That client slides and the way it got presented was incredible

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

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!

My favourite two RU-vidr'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. 😂

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 is the best thing I've seen on YT so far😅 eager to see more!!

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 :)

This is gold! Great competition and loved all the hilarious client feedback/wishes

The UPSET. Well done you two, those were some speedy keyframes!

Best motion designers in the field, love u both❤❤

My anxiety went up at every absurd client feedback 🥶

Omg, please please please make this a series!! Amazing job to everyone involved!

i challenge you ben marriott (unless you’re scared)

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.

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!

Exciting challenge 😊. I learnt a great deal here with the effects used and thinking ability. I'll be anticipating the next challenge 😁❤️.

this is so fun to watch, i think i'll need more like this in the future

I really love seeing motion graphic designers compete, it motivates me so much

What an incredible idea, you two (three) are brilliant. Thank you for being you and your service throughout these years.

such pleasure. lot of fun. thanks, guys

THIS IS FU**ING AWESOME! I love how involved everyone in this video is. Treat to watch!

Loved watching this! Please make more of these :)

This is so fun to watch amazing people, not only fun watching, but it makes us understand how you guys think while making something.

I need more of these content! I enjoyed it so much it's like watching a cooking show but for motion designers. Brilliant!

This video was awesome! It was cool watching how you both approach the design & animation process differently. Great work all around!

Such a great video and a great battle, more intense than Achilles vs Hector scene in Troy, we want more of this ❤

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!

Definitely need more of these!

This was such an awesome video! Really appreciate all the effort in here Ben! Great to see the the whole process

love you guys so much! i've learn so much from both of you over the years, great challenge, hope to see more challenges like this in the future!

Man, you're rocks! Thank You for your course !!! I've learned so much!!!

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 was so so good! That forgetting to the trim your work area had me in stitches 😂 happens all the time

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!

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 :)

Please make more of these! So good!

Please, more of that. Wonderful video idea. A competition against James Curren would be the highlight of my life.

This is how challenging some clients can be. I love this. Thanks for sharing.

Looking forward to seeing more of these videos!

So fun to watch ! More of these contests please

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!

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!

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

Learn a Lot from both Top Motion Designers Thanks for Quality Content

I enjoyed watching it so much! Great content and fantastic post-production. That was so intriguing, haha. Cheers!

That was so much fun! And what an amazing job both Jake and Ben have done with such a small amount of time 😯

We need more of this! Very inspiring and love to see how you guys pull it off in such a short time. Grats Jake and Ben! A solid 10/10 👏🏻

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 is the best! More of that. Comedy, action, suspense all in one package!

Fantastic video! I believe you have a hit series here for both of your channels.

Woow!!! This is a great concept for a TV show. Congratulations for the video!!! I want to see more like this

It was so funny to watch! Thank you, wanna ser more of this kind of challenges!

This was amazing. I’d watch so many episodes of this.

So long watching and loving you both and now this video, I love it madly! I owe so much to you both!!!!

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 .

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 RU-vid. Mid way through the tournament you have to team up to win a challenge against Aaron Blaise or the Bancroft brothers.

This video has actually made me feel pretty good about how quickly I work from concept to end render. Nice content.

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 is one of the definitely more cool content for after effects user, is incredible. Love it so much!!!

This was great, you both did incredible for the short turnaround.

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 ;-)

I really love this sort of content! So much fun and remind me a lot of the common situations we are facing in the work in a very interesting way. Thanks you guys

Loved this! It's like watching my two favourite school teachers duke it out for our entertainment! Dioramas looked amazing too :D I think my favourite parts were watching Ben's reaction to the first logo Andrew put up and then the reaction to not trimming the work area for the final render. Can relate SO hard 😂

What a great video. You summarize the real working process brilliantly in a relatively short video.

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!

Okay, I feel better seeing you two incredible animators sweat it out. I loved all of the surprise client-demands tossed in there at last minute. I watch everything the both of you upload to RU-vid and will look forward to more.

This was an epic battle. I loved it! 🤩 I want to see more videos like this.😁

amazing video, the CC Light Sweep part was hilarious ahaha

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.

Great vid! Andrew as the "Brief Master" played such a pivotal role! The client comments were the best- MY FAVORITE COLOR IS TURQUOISE!

This was incredibly fun to watch! I would love to see the next one against Hayley from Motion Hatch :D

The mashup we never knew we needed! Great video ♥️

the last minute notes and feed backs are gold.

More of this! spectacular!

This was actually very fun to watch, i hope you keep making new episodes because it chabge for me the way i enjoy watching RU-vid videos.

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

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.

Ben forgetting to trim the work area was so comforting to me.

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

Man I stumbled on your channel not long now and I’ve been glued man. I’m a very very new guy in the field and to simulate the work life and clients responses and all that and thought processes. This is so good man. Thanks so much🥺

This format is so much fun. Great idea for a the next reality competition Netflix series!! Congrats to you and Jake for making some quality work so quickly and LOVED Andrew’s mediation. Looking forward to more Ultimate Motion Graphics Challenges!

do more of this!! this is amazing

the authentic stress reaction at the beginning with the little logo prank informs me that this was very much not scripted. Awesome content ❤

This was ridiculously fun! I would pay good money to keep a "motion battle series" such as this going. Imagine the names that could come thru and do this with you! 😍 What a refreshing approach to motion education content in general!

this is amazing, i laugh so hard in the client feedback. loved this style of video, inspiring and entertaining. thanks ben!

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 was a lot of fun to watch! and very insightful, Learned a bunch. Thanks!

OMG guys!!!! This was soo much fun to watch!!! I would definitely want to see more of this! Very well thought through and it was a pleasant surprise to see Andrew as well :D. Congrats to all of you for this great production!👏👏👏

What a trio. I didn’t know I wanted this, but I knew when I saw it
