He called it Node Fest. At its centre is an open competition which is judged both by industry leaders as well as online by everyone – a “People’s Choice” award. The rules are simple. 15 seconds of animation or graphic design… based on a theme (this year it was “Dimensions”)… and it must end with the Node Fest logo. Dozens entered and over 400 attended the event. No, we didn’t win, but our entry was certainly up there with the best of them and got lots of votes online. Oh well… next year. ### Creative Director comments The entry deadline kinda snuck up on Callan on this one. “Too busy working on our client’s business” was his excuse. But deadlines can bring out the best in some. This execution featured a style Callan has been working with recently. Lots of 3D action. Nice graphics and design. Lots of colour and movement, working seamlessly to end in the logo. Sounds like a plan. ![](https://www.jumbla.com/hubfs/Website%20Content/Folio/Node%20Fest%202018/nodefest-cal18-1.gif) ![](https://www.jumbla.com/hubfs/Website%20Content/Folio/Node%20Fest%202018/nodefest-cal18-2.gif) ![](https://www.jumbla.com/hubfs/Website%20Content/Folio/Node%20Fest%202018/node-fest-cal18-full.jpg) ![](https://www.jumbla.com/hubfs/Website%20Content/Folio/Node%20Fest%202018/nodefest-cal18-3.gif) ![](https://www.jumbla.com/hubfs/Website%20Content/Folio/Node%20Fest%202018/nodefest-cal18-4.gif) ### Related Work **NODE Fest** Ident Design **NODE Fest** Ident Design **Pause Fest - Erupt** Motion Response **NODE Fest** Ident Design ### Start an Animation Project   Click below to submit your project details and a senior producer will get back to you within one business day.
