This is elaine from motion.tv. I'd like to invite you to participate in FACEOFF: The After Effects Challenge. http://motionconference.com/about/faceoff-the-after-effects-challenge/

FACEOFF is a unique After Effects challenge where 3 teams – each consisting of 1 or 2 top industry pros – create a 5-15 second original motion design piece in just 60 minutes. The event takes place opening night live on stage in front of the motion conference audience. 

The project? The brief will be announced seconds before the FACEOFF begins. Beforehand, all 3 teams will be provided with identical assets to use and are encouraged to bring and use their own arsenal of tools as well: software, hardware, plugins, audio. 

Now the excitement begins! It’s fun, lively, and intense! After Effects all-time favorites, Chris and Trish Meyer will be on hand to call the play-by-play action. A DJ will be performing as you work.

Selected participants will receive a full pass to attend motion 2014 ($950 value). http://motionconference.com Your finished piece will be featured on our media outlets: motion.tv http://motion.tv and cg+news http://cgnews.com, and promoted on our Facebook and twitter feeds and on our Vimeo group.

Last year’s teams were from NYC, Phoenix, and LA (via Brazil). Checkout the pieces they created: https://vimeo.com/home/myvideos
