our story
Long long ago, and far far away...
two creative directors were searching...
They looked far and wide. But nowhere, could they find what they were looking for.
And that's when they realized...
it didn't exist.
what's a girl(s) to do?
being huge fans
of Star Trek…
they decided
it was up to them to…
make it so
The journey begins
so they set off on their journey to create a space...
where motion designers, animators, VFX artists, directors, designers, and filmmakers could come together to share fresh ideas and spirited conversation...
...and of course, fun after hours playtime.
Along the way
they fought off countless naysayers who said it couldn't happen...
equipped with a non-existent budget and limited sponsor support, they were determined to make the dream of a creative un-conference become a reality.
...it was their passion.
Once in a while right in the middle of ordinary life...
fairytales happen
in 2007
motion :: the un-conference
for the rest of us
…was born.
Find your tribe. Love them hard.
bit by bit
the motion community
…continues to grow.
With the goal of creating a unique intimate experience
the two creative directors...
have adopted motion as their passion project – making it happen year after year…
because now they realize...
it can exist.
