Discover how the history of VFX mirrors the Thanksgiving spirit — blending creativity, collaboration, and innovation to craft cinematic masterpieces that feed our imaginations.

Our October Miami Animation Meetup brewed up creative energy with 3D printing demos, card and board game design sessions, and inspiring conversations among artists, animators, and game developers. From Bilal Khan’s 3D-printed AVG magnets to Isai Oveido’s pixel art card games, the night was filled with treats, teamwork, and a touch of Halloween magic.

Artists working and providing constructive feedback to each other so they can improve and grow.

In animation, gaming, and VFX, who you know can be just as important as what you create. Building community through networking helps artists grow, find collaborators, and stay inspired in an ever-evolving industry.
