The evening brings 3D and 2D artists, animators and designers together for learning, community and celebration.
“Motion graphics is more than just flying text around,” says Nick Campbell, Greyscalegorilla site host and motion graphics designer/trainer. “As in year’s past, we look forward to welcoming motion graphics designers to the event—people who speak our language—to share ideas and explore new techniques and technologies that affect the way we work and celebrate our craft amidst great food and beer.”
