Brew Crew
Depending on how hard you were tailgating at the last home Brewer game you attended, you may remember seeing the Milwaukee Brewers Stadium Open by Pixel Farm on the big screen. It’s a highly detailed build of the stadium with past clips of Brewer history blended in. If you’re a Brewer fan or not, this animation rocks. Also linked below is a video of how Pixel Farm put this together. Enjoy. Pixel Farm: Milwaukee Brewers Stadium Open with Line-up Pixel Farm:...
The Keyframiest
Motion design is similar to its print design brethren in that it follows trends/styles. In motion design some trends transpire because of a new plug-in or tool, others evolve because of a reaction to an overused tool. While some come about through innovation. Lately there has been a lot of really great simple shaped animations that can’t necessarily be created with just a plug-in, but through massive amounts of keyframes and experimentation. Some of the links...
January Meetup Notes
A little late, but here’s a summary of what was discussed at out last meetup. We discussed several sources for online training. Sites we covered included FXPHD, Lynda, Ayato, Mattrunks, Greyscale Gorilla, and Video Copilot.

It’s not free ($359/term), but it is well worth...

So we’ve updated the site to focus more on the upcoming events. This should make it easier for you to glance at the main page and see when we’re meeting next, as well as future events. We may also include other non-Mograph Milwaukee events in the calendar, but clearly label them. Since most people visit the site to learn about upcoming events, we’ve de-emphasized the blog-portion of the site, but most recent posts will still be accessible lower on the...
September Meetup Date Changed
Just a quick announcement that the date for the September meetup at C2 has changed. It will now be held on September 22nd at 6:30pm, same location. The reason for the change is so it will not conflict with the annual Adworkers Milwaukee 99 show this year.
January Meetup Notes
We had a good meetup tonight with mostly familiar faces and a couple new ones at C2. Several people have requested some form of summary from our meetups. So in 2011, we’re making this a priority. After each meetup, we’ll be posting notes, links, videos, and sometimes project files. In the future, we will see if we can get screencaptures & audio/video of the presentations as well. If you haven’t been to our meetups, they are fairly free form....
