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 craft
- the 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.
