Italian app development company Bending Spoons has laid off the entire team behind the FiLMiC Pro (Filmic Pro) app. The staff was laid off in November.
It’s a shame that such a popular and well-respected video camera app appears to be at risk. Following the unpopular move to a subscription model, the actions Bending Spoons took towards the Filmic team may alienate the wider filmmaking community even further. In addition, Blackmagic Design recently released a free camera app for iPhones based on its own acclaimed cinema camera OS. The Blackmagic app supports recording to an external SSD and has been used by Apple for filming its promotional events. This new competition may make Filmic Pro’s future even more uncertain.
