Motion graphics and visual effects artists are converging on Disjecta Thursday October 10th during Design Week Portland. We have two events crammed into one evening with the Kontrast after party hosted by Colorcubic & Nueva Forma following the Demo Reel Review. Kontrast is an audiovisual electronic music event and creative social mixer; a chance for contemporary performance to move away from routine clubs and into more eclectic and ornate settings where the artistry of the medium can be better explored and appreciated.

Join AEPDX with our panel of 3 esteemed judges as we review submitted animation and motion reels from local studios and artists and give creative feedback. The evening will showcase a number of demo reels from individuals and agencies from around Portland. , where a demo reel is played for the audience then in a rapid-fire type of response, panelists provide constructive feedback to the creator. The event is a chance for the community to come together and show off some of the jaw dropping work done right here in Portland. The audience will vote for their favorite reels and we will award a few huge prizes to the winner. Audience Choice Award: CC yearly membership Red Giant Trapcode Suite TBD...coming soon
