SUMMARY:Animation Challenge: Exquisite Corpse
DESCRIPTION:Global online community and local meetup group celebrating the motion graphics industry are teaming up to host a special event — a live collaboration where local artists are challenged to animate on the fly in front of a live audience. \nThe Challenge*: 5 participants are given a random prompt with 5 minutes to animate supplied graphics before switching to another computer to continue. They pick up from the previous animator’s progress and take the work in a new direction. After 3 rounds\, the resulting animations are stitched together into a single collaborative piece with a supplied music track and screened on the main projector for the event. \nParticipants each win a special prize. Swag\, snacks and drinks will be provided. \n*Previously hosted at Boshi’s Place in NYC. \nTimeline: \n3:30pm – Arrivals & Intros \n4:30pm – Animation Challenge Starts! \n5:30pm – Screening of the results and giveaway \n6:00pm – Community Announcements \n6:30pm – End \nHosts: \nMotion Collabs Host: Laura Porat \nAbout Motion Collabs: \nMotion Collabs is an international community of creatives who gather every few months to collaborate on themed video projects\, bringing together a diverse range of styles and skill levels.
