Please take the time to check these links out before the information gets cold in your head!  And provide any other links you think might be helpful in the comments!

May Motion Graphics Challenge
Entry posted on May 01 by Trent Armstrong , tagged Video,Interactive Experience

The Dallas After Effects User Group is starting a monthly motion graphics challenge.  Any of our group members may participate, but the guidelines for each challenge must be followed.


For the month of May, the theme is "countdown".  Each participant should request a number from 1 - 10 with an alternate.  It's first-come-first-served so don't be sad if you get a number you didn't request.
 
If we have more than 10 participants, we will consider having a longer countdown!!
 
PROJECT SPECS:
- Each animation should be one second only
- 1920x1080 - 30fps
- Render to ProRes 422 (h.264 is acceptable)
- All submissions are due one week prior to that month's meeting
- Submit your the movie as an attachment or a downloadable file to dallasaeug@gmail.com
- Be creative and have fun!
 
If you aren't sure what you're in for, give it a try anyway!  We will have fun doing this and will present the final product at each meeting.
 
Cheers,
Trent Armstrong
