I really enjoyed the night. It was a well structured networking and enjoyable event. Hope to be involved in more events in the future.
Kelly Lynagh - Director, Animator at 12field - Melbourne
10 out of 10 - Masters of Motion continues to promote and invite genuine discussions around pressing issues related to our industry and this event is another great example.
Jenny Hanslow - Manager at Blue Bandicoot Studios - Sydney
The Masters of Motion discussion night was a privileged to be apart of. It is so encouraging to hear stories and network with people from studios across Australia and New Zealand. This event was informative, personal and also a bit of fun!
Alan Dickson - Director & Producer at Yukfoo - Melbourne
The MOM events are a fantastic way to catch up with and meet colleagues and like minded peers. I look forward to them and always attend. For an online event they go very smoothly and the format works really well.
Christopher Maguren - Animator - Auckland
This was a great evening, I find connecting with other individuals in the animation industry at our end of the earth is something I feel we need more of, and Masters of Motion is the perfect community for that.
Paul Kassab - Storyboard and Concept Artist - Brisbane
9 out of 10 - A great networking night, with a strong roaster of Industry professionals!
Cindy Scharka - Director at SLR Productions - Sydney
The online Masters of Motion event was a wonderful experience of connectivity between animation professionals across many areas. It was expertly organised but still allowed for informal fun and spontaneous discussion and involvement. It was great to feel part of a bigger picture or wider community of like-minded people!
Sugandha Tyagi - Production Coordinator Stratosphere Melbourne
Their latest event featuring 12 Field Animation truly exceeded my expectations. The event was well organised, with time to chat/network/discuss ideas in smaller, intimate groups with industry professionals, as well as a detailed overview of 12 Field, presented by Kelly Lynagh herself. If you’re a part of, or interested in the Animation industry, then you’ve got to check out Masters of Motion.
