Motion Graphics Chicago Festival is awesome. I've gone the last two years in a row. Last year I taught a master's class in After Effects and I'll be teaching something again this year. I'm not sure of the dates of the festival yet, but I'll keep you posted. It's a great event and people travel from across the country to experience it. Plus, Toolfarm is a sponsor of the event.

Chicago's Motion Graphics Festival screens work from a variety of disciplines, including: demo reels, music videos, commercials, art film shorts, special effects, compositing, machinima & game graphics, sound effects & sound for film, animatics, retail video displays, remixes, website motion designs, camera & lighting effects, animatronics, robotics for film, multi-screen video displays, 3d & holographic cinema, kiosk & interactive menu design, audio visual installations, architectural video facades, and motion-picture experiments. The festival accepts entries from all over the world.

This year we will give special attention to work non-commercial motion design, sound effects for motion, and video for new media devices.
