Fiverr's MASSIVE Layoffs + After Effects Gets a Plugin Paradise | Motion Mondays
Fiverr gets smaller, the Plugin marketplace gets bigger, and Procreate gets even more irresistible.
This week, Fiverr makes headlines for all the wrong reasons in a brutal 30% workforce reduction. Meanwhile, Danny Perry just launched the Plugin Play marketplace that could change how we buy After Effects plugins forever. We also dive into Wacom's smart strategy with their new One 14 tablet that keeps getting bigger while staying at the same 300 dollar price point, EBsynth's slick new web interface that makes pixel tracking feel like magic, and Kyle Webster's incredible brush overhaul that makes Procreate 5.4 even more irresistible.
Plus we spotlight some incredible work from Ravie Studio, Denver Jackson's solo animated feature made for just $135K, and Digital Kitchen's practical effects wizardry for Apple TV's "Smoke." Also, don't miss our Deep Sky mini-documentary from last week.
And get ready for our ultimate Unreal Engine workstation reveal this Wednesday with thousands in prizes up for grabs.
