@@ishantkumar2559 not necessarily most, in fact, just a fraction of them. because the quality is 90% worse than in western countries. you gotta find gems like Zee for example and that takes time.
how much would you charge for a product animation like that? like what is the middle ground where its worth for the artist and not too expensive for the client?
tbch, all prices are radically low. In the US or EU as a freelancer these prices barely cover 3h working time. Of course if they only needed 2h to make these, thats fine.
Yeah... but unfortunately that's Fiver. It's usually many young artists who want to make a living but also devalue themselves to get work. "I can make a better product for less so you should chose me" kind of mindset.
Yup that's very true. Thats how Fiverr works though and its also great to have access to these services, especially if you want something more simple for a small price.
@@KaizenTutorials I totally understand that! With the thumbnail showing a 150 and 2400 $ price tag, I was just hoping for a more explicit mention in the video about "higher prices = usually higher quality control" since the channel has so many tutorials and help for Blender artists. But they should also be told/adviced not to sell under value.
Some words about your own animation: First shot the device is blurred or out of focus which really looks off and doesn't look "professional" as you claim it. I am sure you would find ways to work around it so it's not a skill issue but simply bad decision making. The rest looks great.
Hmm I think it's a matter of opinion there. My idea is that this 'reveals' the product. Maybe the DoF is too heavy and could be less, but overall I like the idea here. In the end the thing that would truly matter is the clients opinion on it. If they like; they like it!
I don’t like seeing animation work being done for so little money. I feel like this type of works, give clients the wrong impression that the work is meaningless and can be done in no time by dirt cheap. In the long run this is terrible for the industry.
I liked your take, it was very smooth but there was a small jump at 8:39 with the switch, i think it should have been aligned so the transition between two shots feel smoother.
The biggest issue I see with the camera movements is not setting them to follow a curve. This gives those unnatural straight motions when we subconsciously know it should be moving in an arc. Zee knew what he was doing in that regard for sure, but I do really like that second one's transitions as well.
RuneScape music while working! I love it! I once put on Terraria OST while doing yard work :) Also I like how you put a lot of attention on storyboarding. I've learnt how incredibly vital and great it really is to do that, it has made some of my works easier to make and manage. Sharing the storyboard with the client for approval is also better than having made even just a demo animation, it's gonna save time and nerve. This is something a lot of 3D artists should definitely know. Especially ones doing any sort of animation What was new to me was the music part, syncing up to an existing music is something I wouldn't have come up so this is solid advice. Overall, I didn't expect to learn anything at first, I thought it was going to simply be an entertainment video, but I'm glad to have seen it now! Keep it up, Kaizen!
I think storyboarding, scripting and locking things in with clients, before diving in deep, is one of the biggest mistakes and overlooked things freelancers do. Doing this properly can save you so much time, back and forth and unhappy clients which in the end makes your life easier and you make more on non-hourly projects!
Love Zee's Version the most, some movements are very disorienting though. Making sure the movement translates is important but also where the viewer is focusing between cuts, so the eye doesn't have to jump around. I think your version is on a technical level the best, but I think the gradients are too soft and create quite noticeable banding. Also placing them behind the object at the start, disconnects the realism of the shot as the gradient should create some kind of rimlight even around the dark areas of the product.
can we talk about "color banding" and how it makes everything look low quality even if the animation is good? for example, do you see that gradient background at 8:35 and notice how bad it looks? how to fix that? every animation has that and im pretty sure those videos were composed in after effects, maybe?
Ah yeah that's just a result of the exporting of files. If I rendered the frames as TIFF's which are lossless, or EXR's which are probably even better and then rendered these out there would be significantly less banding. It's just a result of conversion to MP4 from PNG's and lower quality renders.
I love your animation! It’s incredible, so well-crafted! I’ve been following your course on CG Cookie for the Pokemon ball, and I’m still working on the animation, but it’s already looking fantastic!
Pretty cool and informal video, but it’s kinda sad to see Fiverr pushing people to undercut their prices like that. CHF 150 should be an hourly rate, not the budget for an entire project. Criticizing the artists for a lack of quality and innovation feels a bit misguided when the budget is so low. Sure, there’s plenty that could be improved in the animations, but honestly, with that kind of budget, you can’t expect much. This isn’t about hating on anyone-just a reminder that designers should feel encouraged to charge industry-appropriate rates. It benefits all of us in the long run.
I agree that these rates are incredibly low, although in certain countries, like the ones the fiverr artists are from this is good money. It's unfair, but that's what the digital world does to these kinds of jobs!
Its the age old discussion. Unless you are really lucky these services and outsourcing of craft in tech goes often only well for prototypes and one-offs. In the end with a continuous project and product cycles, consistency in code/design and the bonus: involvement of the artist/developer these services cant deliver in a way a stakeholder or team lead requires. I started my career in design and web development 20 years ago and colleagues were scared of outsourced code in Georgia or India. But even today in 2025 i always get the backing to build local and involved teams on which you can rely on a day to day basis. TL;DR Whatever art you are crafting in your profession: be dedicated, think ahead for your client and have a bigger picture present and you will never run out of work at your local rates.
This was a great video. Every animation was awesome, but both you and zee absolutely knocked It out of the park! But $167.00!? It is sad to see so many amazing artists underselling their work on fiver.
Agreed Zee could definitely ask for more and should do so! That said; 167 goes a long way in Singapore, compared to the States for example... it's unfair but that's also how global economies like 3D work.
@ Ah, I did not realize he was from Singapore! That amount of money is a little more reasonable then. Even so, with his level of work he can be charging more.
I'm a fiverr artist too and 160 is a lot of money in my country, but frankly I use fiverr as more of a side-hustle rather than a job so I just undervalue because I don't really need much money
i like them, for the first one I would've rather figure out how to properly animate and light that, and then do it myself second one I liked but the camera stops so abruptly, feels unnatural, and it also feels like the camera is always at the same spot third one was my favourite, a bit too much going on at once, or at least a bit fast with the camera? not sure. I don't know how they could've missed the USB plug obviously clipping through the device xd
it kinda depends. Having mroe VRAM is always a really great thing if you work with lots of textures and high res models. But if you don't and purely want speed, then the 4060 is probably best.
you don't want to make a competition so that anyone can make a similar product presentation video, and then upload it somewhere and you would choose which one you like the most
This is what constructive criticism is for. I do agree it having the least quality, but this is where the artist can learn and improve, in the future they will be making greater works.
If Kaizen would have been a Fiverr artist like the rest in the video, then considering the processes, knowledge and obviously the final outcome it would have been definitely over 300
I think I spent about 15 hours in total on this setup, mostly tweaking lighting and camera motion. On an actual paid gig I would've spent more, investing more in unique setups, more dynamic camera work and better lighting setups with more additional elements (like for example Zee's cables). On average I'd ask for around 3-5K USD for such an animation.
Well you're lucky that you got this level of work at this low budget. And to the fiverr artists, this is how you ruin the market. Charging lower and lower everyday for the kind of work that needs planning, effort, aesthetic and creative eyes. My take is that these fiverr artists are just ruining their own work sector. And for the purpose of delivering fast work for cheap price, they also don't really follow a proper process and blocks or slows down their creative growth as well.
I think, although I agree with what you're saying to a degree, it's also part of the landscape and the global economy surrounding 3D. If you do great work though you can find work no matter your rates.
I’ve been doing IRL Product photography for the last 10 months and here’s what I have to say about each. 1. The first one needs a lot of improvements, frame rate was Low, motion was Jittery. Needed DOF (5/10) 2. The Second one used a Very high focal length. 😂 nothing so special. No DOF and a lot of artifices. (5.5/10) 3. Third did some sick Continuous animation between different shots but still lacked DOF. Also very High Focal Length. (isometric) (7/10) 4. DAMN that was really well done. Focal Length was perfect. Depth of field was well placed. Lighting was done beautifully. Camera Angles were chefs kiss. (8.5/10) Overall nice work in that range. Me will 100$ you will get something really SICK. 🤣 But unfortunately I’ve been busy with my Job. Please make sure to share the project files so I can do one for a test & free. Sad my Slow PC won’t help me 💀
@TheSilentRaven It's fine for modeling, but it's the final render that will get you. There's no GPU acceleration with the Intel Macs. I recently did the infamous donut tutorial and it took almost 4 days running CPU only to render a 6 second animation (160 images).
Here's the second kind of people, half of them say it's not expensive, and you say it's a lot for this. The only difference is that they are actually doing something, even if they are not working at full capacity. As someone who used to work on Fiverr, I can agree that the mentality of people there is quite strange, and people want results for $15, like people with a $100 budget.
@goldman_ya I doubt you can do better. Real pros would with 300 hours or more would never charge $20, even for work as flawed as these. Maybe the 300 hours you spent was just moving the mouse around and staring blankly at the screen.
@@blaximperia trying to be sure my work is good enough before starting to ask money for it, gonna finish some projects and then maybe sign up on fiver. And 300 hours isn't really anything, i still don't know how to properly use constraints, compositor and much more
@@KaizenTutorials I also do 3D animations, and my work is at a level similar to Zee's. However, it's really hard to find clients. Things just feel frustrating and depressing. I've been doing 3D for about 3 years
Some people say what they feel which they have the right to do, but it isn't quite right from a judgmental standpoint. These people seem to be somewhat new to the field anyways which makes sense as more experienced artists respond different. Basically give these people some time.
The fact that you think your video is acceptable for any client in 2025 is ludicrous. Let alone the prices. And in the big scheme of things platforms like fiverr that take advantage of everyone. The saddest part of all of this is the people following you will probably think that your advices are solid.
I think it comes down to personal taste. I see you do some awesome, creative, work. And if that's what the client is looking for; is perfect. As I said in the video my result is a very generic animation, which can work just fine for tons of clients. Is it going to insanely wow people? Probably not. But it looks good and visualizes the product. As for the prices; yeah Fiverr artists are cheap sometimes, but then again this often reflects in the result. It's less custom, less professional and so on. The people looking for these types of animations would never pay for a great 3D artist like yourself to make a cool animation for 5-10K for example. It's just different markets with different goals.
@ depends on what standard you are comparing it too. Maybe if Zee got more time he would have done better. Regardless the time I think even Zee’s animation could have been executed better it all looked really stiff and choppy/ un-smooth?
I mean, all 3 animations are bad, none of them feel nice. I don't see much purpose in super low budget work like this, other then specifically only doing it for yt content.
I think the last animation is great, especially for that kind of money. The 1st two need a lot of work, but for a very simple animation they're not too shabby of a starting point.
@@KaizenTutorials Don't get me wrong, animations worth the money. It's just that if you order an animation, you usually want a certain style and goal, it doesn't matter how much money animation is worth if it's just not what you'd use
Glad to see we're charging into 2025 with gender-neutral pronouns! I thought those had *finally* fallen out of fashion this year. Ah, mebbe I'm gettin' too old...
Perhaps some must have been excessively offensive towards the end results seen in the video since I have noticed plenty of comments which express their thoughts in a harsh way. Some form of order and moderation must be here for not to demoralize and insult anyone if that was the case. We don't want the artists from the video to stumble across the comment section and see some comments. At least that's what I think when I read your comment. Deleting comments is usually done when it crosses the line. If I misunderstood the situation then let me know.
I like the style you chose, but they're a bit too fast and could be slowed down. Especially the remote animation, it's full of details and I'd like to check it out without having to pause the video. The swaying side to side also makes it hard to fully see these products at this pace. Basically to summarize it - Take your time and slow down the animations or at least add extra cuts so the viewer could see what you want to present.
Nice video, I really like that you show the little storyboard workflow! And damn that you can cut in blender with the different cameras, blew my mind, thanks for that Information 🫶🏽
Hello, i am 3d generalist with 3 years of experience, As my pov this all are garbage and not value for money they just show camera moment and nothing. Think again bro you got scammed! Ps - i like your animation
How terrible is that animations..How even people can charge money for THAT kind of work? Seems like 12 yo youtube tutorial lover made them all. (Not talking bout author animation). btw maximum price for them like 2 corona's no cap
Art costs, even if it may not look as appealing as one may think. Artists usually charge per hour, this means the set-up, animation, rendering and final touches are all included. With a low per hour charge the artists may not earn as much as they want / should so to make it even for themselves, the value is still pricy.
I think it depends.... I get that it's not the best animation; however in my country $160 would be around 3-4 hours of work for a beginning freelancer. Not a whole lot you can do in that time tbh...
@KaizenTutorials did the people know their services would be rated in a RUclips video versus another's artists, and the artist would be the judge too? I think I've never seen this type of format before, where the artist is actively using work to promote his own work. Usually these formats only have the five artists rated and the judge is rating the result. It's not making you very sympathetic to place a shameless plug like this.

Thanks for the input/feedback Harnai! Appreciate it as always. The files are available in the description :-)
Kinda upset to see how saturated the industry has become. $160 for 15s of 3D animation.
Is it low or high? I really don't know 🤣
Yeah it's super low. But do take into consideration income disparity across the globe. For some countries 160 is a lotta money!
I didn’t know people payed more than 100 for these
As a VFX artist for films and music videos
This feels like a side hustle
I think you can ask for much more if you deliver on that ask, easily turning this into a main income source.
AE Element 3Dv2?
what?
algeria mentioned raaaaaaaaah 💥💥💥💥💥🤯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😛
hehe
Hey kaizen can you provide the 3D model it would be amazing to see ur subscribes create different animations
I did do that! Theres a link in the description and a QR code in the video.
@@KaizenTutorials Oh Thanks and keep up the amazing work
The prices for these animations are uuuuber low
Yeah they are kinda low, but I thought it was good to show what you can get at that range!
Subbed you make fun videos
Thanks for the sub!
I like these kinds of videos. Great stuff.
Thanks!
Where my bezier curve at 🗣️
linear all the way baby
Would you share project files in patreon or gumroad?
The files are downloadable through a simple link, but I can also share them through Patreon if you want.
unreal
no no blender!
can you give me the model i want to try myself
Link is in the description!
@@KaizenTutorials I don't see any files to download
@@keithgarside7536 same. it wont let me.
@@KaizenTutorials Thanks.
Hey I was wondering how good is blender on a Intel Mac
With no mouse
get a mouse with a scroll wheel
no mouse = ultra hardmode
@@KaizenTutorials ok but is the last intel macbook pro ok for blender
@TheSilentRaven It's fine for modeling, but it's the final render that will get you. There's no GPU acceleration with the Intel Macs. I recently did the infamous donut tutorial and it took almost 4 days running CPU only to render a 6 second animation (160 images).
@andrewguitarnoob8440 thanks ;D
Just send me the model to get u a next level animation 🔥🔥🤩
You can download it through the link in the description! ;-)
1:30 really that's what you get for 160$? I have 300 hours in blender and still can do better for 20$
my thoughts exactly!
Here's the second kind of people, half of them say it's not expensive, and you say it's a lot for this.
The only difference is that they are actually doing something, even if they are not working at full capacity.
As someone who used to work on Fiverr, I can agree that the mentality of people there is quite strange, and people want results for $15, like people with a $100 budget.
Well then i'd say sign up to fiverr, charge more than that and start making some $$!
@goldman_ya
I doubt you can do better. Real pros would with 300 hours or more would never charge $20, even for work as flawed as these.
Maybe the 300 hours you spent was just moving the mouse around and staring blankly at the screen.
@@blaximperia trying to be sure my work is good enough before starting to ask money for it, gonna finish some projects and then maybe sign up on fiver. And 300 hours isn't really anything, i still don't know how to properly use constraints, compositor and much more
Parece ser que estos Diseñadore de Movimiento se les olvido el Sound Design 😄
wel yeah but I also didnt ask them for it ;-)
hey kaizen whats wrong with some people in the comments soo rude
thats the internet for ya
@@KaizenTutorials I also do 3D animations, and my work is at a level similar to Zee's. However, it's really hard to find clients. Things just feel frustrating and depressing. I've been doing 3D for about 3 years
Some people say what they feel which they have the right to do, but it isn't quite right from a judgmental standpoint.
These people seem to be somewhat new to the field anyways which makes sense as more experienced artists respond different.
Basically give these people some time.
160 for such a bad animation? I need to create a fiver account
you should yeah
The fact that you think your video is acceptable for any client in 2025 is ludicrous. Let alone the prices. And in the big scheme of things platforms like fiverr that take advantage of everyone. The saddest part of all of this is the people following you will probably think that your advices are solid.
I think it comes down to personal taste. I see you do some awesome, creative, work. And if that's what the client is looking for; is perfect. As I said in the video my result is a very generic animation, which can work just fine for tons of clients. Is it going to insanely wow people? Probably not. But it looks good and visualizes the product.
As for the prices; yeah Fiverr artists are cheap sometimes, but then again this often reflects in the result. It's less custom, less professional and so on. The people looking for these types of animations would never pay for a great 3D artist like yourself to make a cool animation for 5-10K for example. It's just different markets with different goals.
next time pick them from comment section
Could do!
@KaizenTutorials lol
@@KaizenTutorials you must
where to learn these kind of animation
Check out my vid at the end, its a simple introduction to product animation in Blender!
Linear and bad executed for the money…?
Àgreed some could have been better! But I think Zee's animation is really quite good.
@ depends on what standard you are comparing it too. Maybe if Zee got more time he would have done better. Regardless the time I think even Zee’s animation could have been executed better it all looked really stiff and choppy/ un-smooth?
... and you charged??? 😉 Love the video! Love and agree with your breakdown of what makes a good product video! 👏👏👏
Haha I charged myself ALL the money!
I mean, all 3 animations are bad, none of them feel nice. I don't see much purpose in super low budget work like this, other then specifically only doing it for yt content.
Considering the amount and time, I feel like it's reasonable
I think the last animation is great, especially for that kind of money. The 1st two need a lot of work, but for a very simple animation they're not too shabby of a starting point.
@@KaizenTutorials Don't get me wrong, animations worth the money. It's just that if you order an animation, you usually want a certain style and goal, it doesn't matter how much money animation is worth if it's just not what you'd use
Judging based on your personal horizon...
Dont we all?
hola
hola
@@KaizenTutorials oh hello kaizen your tutorials are so useful thank you
Glad to see we're charging into 2025 with gender-neutral pronouns! I thought those had *finally* fallen out of fashion this year. Ah, mebbe I'm gettin' too old...
Yeah well, I'd rather not offend anyone :-)
@@KaizenTutorials I feel ya...waiting for the madness to subside over here...
never been so early
GG
First 2 very unprofessionally looking, third is mid, but for $167 kinda ok
thanks for your feedback!
BROO i can do way better animation than this in just like 150 bucks
Show it!
@KaizenTutorials give me project
@@cartonks.2492 The project files can be found in the description of the video, have fun!
deleting comments is dumb.
is it?
Perhaps some must have been excessively offensive towards the end results seen in the video since I have noticed plenty of comments which express their thoughts in a harsh way.
Some form of order and moderation must be here for not to demoralize and insult anyone if that was the case. We don't want the artists from the video to stumble across the comment section and see some comments.
At least that's what I think when I read your comment. Deleting comments is usually done when it crosses the line.
If I misunderstood the situation then let me know.
I posted some animations in my channel, can anyone give me feedback about them pls?😭
I think theyre nice! Just maybe it needs some direction in terms of story? Its just animation, but it has no purpose if you get what i mean!
@@KaizenTutorials Yes I understand, thank you for your feedback!😄
I like the style you chose, but they're a bit too fast and could be slowed down.
Especially the remote animation, it's full of details and I'd like to check it out without having to pause the video.
The swaying side to side also makes it hard to fully see these products at this pace.
Basically to summarize it - Take your time and slow down the animations or at least add extra cuts so the viewer could see what you want to present.
Definitely, yours is best for me
Thanks!
Nice video, I really like that you show the little storyboard workflow!
And damn that you can cut in blender with the different cameras, blew my mind, thanks for that Information 🫶🏽
Thank you! Glad I could showcase some new stuff. :-)
Hello, i am 3d generalist with 3 years of experience,
As my pov this all are garbage and not value for money they just show camera moment and nothing.
Think again bro you got scammed!
Ps - i like your animation
Agree way to linear and not executed well enough for the money spent.
Fair point. I think they all could use some work, but where I'm from this amount of money for this result would be ok for sure!
How terrible is that animations..How even people can charge money for THAT kind of work? Seems like 12 yo youtube tutorial lover made them all. (Not talking bout author animation). btw maximum price for them like 2 corona's no cap
😮😮
i should start fiverr then...
Yes!
Im annoid with your feedback. I dont think its helpful. You sound pompous
allright, I appreciate the feedback and will see what I can do better in future videos
first of ALL : this first animation is ugly af ... paid me 50 euro i will make better all of thers 3+ yours video tooo xD .
Allright, well feel free to download the file and have a go at it yourself!
No offence but the first one is pretty bad , don't think its worth $160
Well you right 160$ its not really worthy
Art costs, even if it may not look as appealing as one may think. Artists usually charge per hour, this means the set-up, animation, rendering and final touches are all included.
With a low per hour charge the artists may not earn as much as they want / should so to make it even for themselves, the value is still pricy.
I think it depends.... I get that it's not the best animation; however in my country $160 would be around 3-4 hours of work for a beginning freelancer. Not a whole lot you can do in that time tbh...
Guess I am 1st
congratulations! You win my praise.
Nice idea for boasting your own services.
I hope your price contrasts well with the people that you're bashing.
Good health to you.
Im not bashing anyone honestly... I just gave feedback based on my experience.
@KaizenTutorials did the people know their services would be rated in a RUclips video versus another's artists, and the artist would be the judge too?
I think I've never seen this type of format before, where the artist is actively using work to promote his own work. Usually these formats only have the five artists rated and the judge is rating the result.
It's not making you very sympathetic to place a shameless plug like this.
lol you got robbed for all of those, they are garbage
I disagree! I think 1/3 was WELL worth it and the others are debatable.
I don't know what you were expecting for $200, but the third one was way better than what was charged.
I'm pretty sure my setup couldn't even RENDER one of these animations in 4 days.🥲
awh :-(
