Join other motion designers, animators, and VFX artists in the Twin Cities to network, show off work, get help on that troublesome After Effects comp, or just talk shop on Thursday May 23rd at HDMG. (Enter in back.)

BYOB (or some to share), hang out, and talk shop.

Along with the presentations, we’ll also have time to share work, inspiration, or get help from the group. So bring something to share, whether your latest work or a problem you’re trying to solve!
