A Studio of One: Nick Shaheen’s Motion Capture and Visual Effects Process With Wacom Movink

January 29, 2025

We asked Nick Shaheen to test and review the new Wacom Movink 13 OLED creative pen display, but what we didn’t expect was a love letter to portability. Check out his short, but dynamic and beautiful review of the device below.



As an independent writer, director, motion graphics designer, and visual effects artist, Nick is no stranger to the demands of multi-disciplinary creative work. His projects span everything from animation and physics simulations to recreating iconic movie scenes — so he needs tools that can keep up with his ever-evolving workflow.

Instead of a traditional product review, Nick dives into how the Wacom Movink has enhanced his creative process by creating his own product trailer. The short, “A Studio of One,” focuses on Movink’s versatility and seamless integration into his high-demand projects.

As a filmmaker and visual effects enthusiast, Nick uses a wide array of industry-standard software, including Cinema 4D, ZBrush, and Blender. With the Wacom Movink, Nick explores how portability doesn’t just mean convenience, but also opens up new possibilities for creative freedom.

If you’re a creator who values mobility without sacrificing performance, maybe give the Movink a try? It’s a game changer for anyone who’s always on the move and needs a tool that matches their pace.

Every artist has their own creative ritual, whether it’s the perfect cup of tea, a morning walk to clear the mind, or that burst of inspiration that hits at just the right moment. 🫖🕯️🎧 Maybe it's lighting the perfect candle to set the mood, or sketching out ideas on an old notebook. Whatever it is, these little essentials set the stage for our best work. For me, it's all about my Wacom tablet. Wacom has teamed up with my club, @wearethedesignkids, to make sure students have the right tools from day one. With the right gear in hand, we can build our own creative rituals and refine our craft. So, what’s a must-have in your creative ritual? Maybe a special sketchbook, a cozy corner, or the perfect playlist? #WacomPartner #WacomForEducation #digitalart #inspiration #wacomintuos

🎨✨ Navigating license agreements as an artist can feel like a maze. Too often, we’re faced with contracts that lean heavily in favor of clients, leaving us with little protection. For artists like Zeynep Alpay, finding a way to make these agreements fair and transparent has been a true game changer. Now she can focus on what she does best, creating art, while the details are handled with Yuify.  🔒 Want to see how artists can truly protect their rights?
