Post Malone, 100K Subs, Community Manager, & More!
Hey everyone!
It has been a weird month or so. Of course, our new product releases have had no chill and we're still coming out in full force (stay tuned).?
Outside of that, there was an ultra-strange opportunity to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights at my house in East Tennessee--talk about something I never expected to see.
Anyway, let's get down to business.
Here's the tl;dr for this edition:
Post Malone Had Some Help... (from ActionVFX)
In Post Malone’s latest release in what some are calling "the track of summer 2024," you’ll find two interesting things. First, Post Malone singing country music with Morgan Wallen. And second, ActionVFX Fireworks.
I’m not about to sit here and pretend like I knew Post Malone was doing country music. But here we are...
I also wanted to give a special shout-out to Daniel Pianezza for his VFX work on the music video! And because we love supporting artists, you can check out his website here .

Updated "Used In" Posters
Speaking of having some help...we recently added some new “Used In” posters to the website. So it looks like Posty isn’t the only one getting some help from our elements.
There are a few bangers in there including The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Extraction 2, Godzilla Minus One, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and more.
Included below are just a few of them that make me happy. If you want to see the rest of them, check them out here .
?Introducing Tom, Our New Community Manager
I’m very excited to introduce one of our latest team members, Tom.?
Tom is going to be in charge of leading our community efforts moving forward. If you haven’t heard, we have a fairly fresh Discord server. And he’s going to be putting together some really awesome things over there, like regular livestreams, VFX challenges, giveaways, etc.?
So it’s going to be pretty poppin’.
If you're not part of the Discord and you don't like missing cool VFX things, you might want to join soon ... Tom's got some things in the works.
100K YouTube Subscriber Milestone!
We’ve been running our YouTube channel since 2016. It’s generally been our go-to spot for tutorials and other educational content. But it mostly just ran in parallel to whatever existing efforts were happening at ActionVFX during a given season.
We are extremely excited (dare I say, “elated?” I don’t know. I usually don’t use that word. But I might make an exception here.) to achieve our 100,000 YouTube subscriber milestone.?
This is a huge accomplishment, and we are so thankful for all of the different people that have contributed to helping make this a reality.

Flash Sale to Celebrate Our 100K Milestone
To take our celebration a step further, we’re also going to be throwing up a really quick flash sale that will be starting on May 28th @ 12:01AM Eastern Time. This is a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it type of thing. Well, if your blinks come in increments of 4 days.
As I mentioned earlier, there’s a pretty crazy amount of new additions we’ve brought to both our 2D and 3D asset libraries over the past few months.
Make sure to jump in and take advantage of these discounts before time's up!
That’s all for this edition. I’ll catch you next time, folks!
