Chicago Motion Graphics Festival 2008
I hope you can all make it to the Chicago Motion Graphics Festival 2008 in mid-January. Harry and I are both teaching classes. We’re tag-teaming on an AE class, Harry will be teaching a second full day class and I’m teaching a full day class for Apple Motion. Register online now!
The festival is loads of fun and if you’re from the south, chances are you’ll get to experience a real Chicago winter. Yeah, enticing. 
It’s a really well organized festival and so worth the trip. If you’re already in Chicago, I hope to see you there.

Want to help at the AE Freemart?
Harry and I could really use some contribution help at the Freemart. Are you interested in sharing your knowledge and  skills with the AE masses? Or, do you know Motion or Final Cut Pro? A plug-ins whiz? Email me at michele@toolfarm.com with your credentials and we’ll get you set up. Blogging experience is a plus, but not mandatory. A love of After Effects is necessary.
