What is the MediaMotion Ball ?

First held in 1998 the MediaMotion Ball is now the premier event for post production, motion graphics, 3D and anyone in the production field attending NAB.

Everyone is welcome. We have attendees from various email groups and online forums.The IMUG and After Effects email lists form the basis of the MediaMotion Ball. We also have attendess from DMN Forums, Postforum, Pixelcorps, MGLA, The Compression List, DLF, The Vidpro list and many, many more.

The night is hosted by Houston Wells and always features our famous prize draw. As usual we have some surprises in store that get announced as we get closer to NAB. Each year the organizing team keep the event fresh by adding just a little something extra - 2007 will be the 10th anniversary of the MediaMotion Ball and along with a new venue the 10th MMB will be something very special. The MMB is unique in the NAB landscape - a non-profit event for users by users and entirely volunteer created and run.

"Imug event was a blast"

Steve Oakley

"For the past 2 years, I've gone to this dinner which takes place at the NAB Conference in Las Vegas. It's been a great place to talk to other After Effects users, and gain access to the stars of all the software and hardware that we all use."

Ko Maruyama

you that love to give back to the community."

Each year our generous sponsors help make the MMB possible (without them an event of this magnitude would not be possible). Sponsors also provide one of the biggest NAB prize pools on offer. In 2006 we gave away close to $30,000 in prizes. 2006 again saw over 200 attendees and 2007 will be a special night - see you there!
