NFT Success and The Future of Motion wit...

SCHOOL OF MOTION: DESIGN & ANIMATION TRAINING FOR MOGRAPH ARTISTS
About this episode

In this week’s podcast we’re talking to Jerry Liu -  Creative Director at Rive, and a man who has seen a lot in his motion design career. He’s done plenty of studio work, did a stint at Meta, made 7-figures selling NFTs, and now he’s deep in the fast-growing world of interactive motion design. In this conversation, Jerry talks transparently about his career, the NFT roller coaster he got to ride, and his thoughts on the future of this industry. 

If you're curious about the thrill of designing for interactions or the potential opportunities that new tools like Rive can open for motion designers, this episode is an absolute goldmine.
