Less than 2 weeks remaining before FMX 2012 in Stuttgart, Germany, takes place. The program is online and looks promising.

This year, Alexandra Ostasheva and Sabrina Seidl will be representing the TAMK Media Program at the 17th Conference on Animation, Effects, Games and Transmedia. The preparation work for both students has been tense, collecting lots of student works, compiling them into a great looking and modern showreel, organising the entire conference presence, designing flyers and writing a stunning speech.
The outcome of the brand new showreel includes fantastic student works, done by our Media students and is decorated with high quality visual effects. However, convince yourself about the quality of the video, which will be published soon.
Check the showreel out yourself and tell us your opinion, it's just a few more days till it will be published. We will inform you!


But now more about the FMX itself. To summarise it in a few words, "It is an amazing event", but in more detail...

FMX is the leading European conference on Animation, Effects, Games and Transmedia and has grown to become one of the most important international conferences in the industry during the past few years.
Artists, specialists, scientists, producers and other key people from all over the world present new projects, developments and opportunities in the Conference, at the Marketplace, in Workshops and Company Suites, in the Recruiting or Education section, the Screenings or Events.

The program is amazing and most likely won't let us rest even for a second. If we are not presenting on stage or in our TAMK booth, we will be networking or participating in different workshops and presentations about the developments and trends of the Computer Graphics (CG) industry.
