A collaborative animation showcase in time for Spooky Season!
Where do your favorite monsters shop? When the stores go dark, what creatures come to life? Join us on
October 30th & 31st
for the 5th Annual
Frames of Fear
, DC in Motion’s latest community collaboration showcase in partnership with the Adams Morgan Partnership Business Improvement District. DC in Motion is a community that strives to cater to all things motion graphics/animation in the DC area. We invited animators, illustrators, and motion designers alike to create wicked windows with anything from possessed novels flying around bookstores to zombies thrifting for fashion. Now, these visions from artists across the country will be brought to life via looped animations projected onto the storefronts and buildings in the Adams Morgan district of Washington, DC.
Event Details:
Sunset // Projections will displayed throughout Adams Morgan
