Global online community and local meetup group celebrating the motion graphics industry are teaming up to host a special event — a live collaboration where local artists are challenged to animate on the fly in front of a live audience.

The Challenge*: 5 participants are given a random prompt with 5 minutes to animate supplied graphics before switching to another computer to continue. They pick up from the previous animator’s progress and take the work in a new direction. After 3 rounds, the resulting animations are stitched together into a single collaborative piece with a supplied music track and screened on the main projector for the event.

Participants each win a special prize. Swag, snacks and drinks will be provided.

*Previously hosted at Boshi’s Place in NYC.
