This brings me to my next point, we’re having a meetup soon, emphasis on soon. This time around, there will be more focussed discussion instead of a free-for-all as we’ve had in the past. We’ll still be looking at cool/inspiring videos and discussing what we’ve each been doing lately, but to kick things off, we’ll be talking about two items of interest to me lately: the possibility of a VFX union, and the state of numerous online tutorials and how they affect the up-and-coming motion designers as well as established talent (so, everyone).

Now, this isn’t to say all our events here-forward are going to be centered around topics solely chosen by one or two people. Most events will morph around and change depending on who shows up and what’s interesting to them. So, if you have something you want to talk about, bring it up! Or, if you have an idea for a lead discussion or having speakers come in, let us know either in the comments or by dropping us a line at info [at] mographmilwaukee.net.

See you soon!

Hey Kids! – just a reminder, tonight is the first Mograph Milwaukee Meetup. It’s a tremendous opportunity to rub elbows with the city’s top motion designers, see some solid work, and most importantly watch Miles Fabishak have a complete melt-down, eat an entire pizza at once then get falling down drunk. Huh? Huh? Doesn’t that sound like fun? Seriously though, Mograph Milwaukee is the creme de la creme for Milwaukee motion graphics. December 1st, 7:30pm at Riverfront Pizza. Mograph Milwaukee is picking up the tab on this, so all I need is a yes or no.

We’re starting small, just a couple meetups to hang out and talk design. Our next meetup is planned for Tuesday December 1st. Location is still TBA.
