If you follow “motion design Twitter”, you’ve probably encountered the work of Austin Bauwens, co-founder of Ravie Studio. At 21, running his own 8-person studio, Austin is a bonafide motion design influencer. In this interview Joey explores how Austin dropped out of college 2 years early to focus on Ravie and how he’s seemingly cracked the code of using social media to actually get client work.

These two free-to-use tools are powerful on their own, but when they work together it’s truly magical. After spending a few years switching over to Blender (from C4D) and getting comfortable, I started to become concerned that I’d need to drop all of that knowledge and fully switch over to Unreal. The good news is your Blender knowledge is still every bit as useful, don’t worry. Here’s how to use the two together.

Caleb recently released 2 Wes-Anderson-inspired trailers that mashed up Wes’s signature quirky style with Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. Both trailers became viral hits, getting millions of views and spawning articles in The Hollywood Reporter, Billboard, Business Insider, and more.
In this interview, he walks us through how he made these films, and tells us what it’s like to go mega viral. We also dive into the future of creativity in the face of AI, and the complex ethical questions around all of this.
