Motion 08: Motion Awards!

Today has been filled with exciting news!

Our school routinely submits student work to various competitions.  This is how my submission to the Webby-in-Motion got to be selected earlier this year.

It turns out that 11 student submissions from our school were selected as finalists in the Motion Awards, part of the Motion 08 Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico next month.  Of the 11 submissions, 4 are solo projects of mine and 1 is a group project I worked on!

To top things off, our school is going to pay for all student finalists to fly to and attend the conference where the winners of the awards will be announced.

I'm ecstatic!

It's an honor to be in the running for a Motion Award and the conference looks to be amazing.  Among the speakers are Chris and Trish Meyer who wrote the textbook our school uses for our After Effects classes.

ALSO, Jamie Caliri is speaking!  See my previous blog entry as to why this I think this guy is freaking amazing!

I have a lot of work to do to prepare for the conference.  We leave in less than a month!
