Adam Plouff | Battleaxe

Today I am speaking with Adam Plouff, creator of some of the most widely used tools for motion designers. Overlord, Rubberhose, Timelord, Anubis, and more. Adam's work has a special place in my heart because the first plugin I ever used for After Effects was one of the ones he first developed, ButtCapper, which lets you quickly round the ends of paths.

We spoke about

his journey into being a developer  releasing imposter syndrome  his craftthe way he learned  the relationship between code and motion  flow  obsession  developing for Adobe  his work on motion pipelines at Google  and much, much more‍ Adam is an OG in this space but also just such a legit, lovely guy. I always love meeting your heroes, and they turn out to be really grounded and self-effacing.
