Does the design industry general public and clients know what motion design is?
Most people when i tell them i do motion design look confused until i explain that its animation or like animation. This shows how much more the term animation is known about. But is there a difference between the two?:
What is Animation?
Earlier Animation is made by exposing a series of pictures or frames, which results in an illusion of apparent movement. At this age of Technology, we have High Performance Workstation, which helped artists produce High Quality and more realistic animations.Animation has its own definition and can be phrased as- “The technique of photographing successive drawings or positions of puppets or models to create an illusion of movement when the film is shown as a sequence.”
Animation movies is a result of ones vision and imagination. The most common examples of animation are the cartoon which you and me have wathced in childhood. I still watch cartoons, mostly Pogo and Cartoon network :-D. Speaking about the Motion Pictures, there are award winning animated films such as Despicable Me, Cars, Rango, Up etc. They are wholly based on fictional roles and build entirely in a studio of a number of studio’s. An animation film does not consists of a real human or things.
What is Motion Graphics or Visual Effects?
Motion Graphics or Visual Effects is the process where Animation is embedded into a live action scene, i.e. something which is photographed using a camera, a real location and actors. It is then processed using Vfx Techniques, and various effects in the shot are composited into the scenery.
Matte Paintings is a term used under the heading Visual Effect. A matte painting is a painted representation of a landscape, set, or distant location that allows filmmakers to create the illusion of an environment that is nonexistent in real life or would otherwise be too expensive or impossible to build or visit.
In short, Visual Effects is implementing Computer Generated Effects Into a Live Action Footage.
Conclusion
From this article, it can well be concluded that Animation is something where a non existing character is created by the modelling artists with a computer and a story is framed by several other artists such as the Lighting artists, Texturing artists, rigging artists, and so on
Whereas, Motion Graphics or Visual effects are the various processes by which imagery is created and/or manipulated outside the setting of a live action shot by artists such as Compositors, Matte Painters, Rotoscoping artists, Keying Artists etc.
Many artists in the industry mention how they find themselves crossing over these two fields as they work often incorporating VFX skill or elements of motion design into animations or vice versa so there really is a blurred line on how to define these fields.

When advertising, there are a certain set of accepted role names that broadly share similar responsibilities. With this in mind, and in the interests of helping demystify who does what, check out some of the most common job titles below, and what they really mean.
Keep in mind that it’s all open to interpretation though, so if you’re looking for a job be sure to carefully read the job specification before applying!
