How has it been 5 months already since the Bash!? Y’all made our third iteration of the festival the best yet and we loved revisiting all those summer vibes in this recap video.

From our key sponsors who made this happen (looking at you @showit & @red_hat ) to the workshops @shape_and_shadow, @sanctus.audio, @motomichi_nakamura, and the joint portfolio session with Showit & @dash_nc put on - We. Had. A. Blast!

We couldn’t tag everybody, so if you see a friend, let them know in the comments! Full talks are heading up on YouTube over the next few weeks so make sure you keep your eyes out.

@nolhonig is crushing it. He's is the founder of The Drawing Room, a design-focused animation studio whose clients include Netflix, Coca-Cola, The History Channel, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. A longtime educator, Nol taught motion graphics at Parsons School of Design for nearly two decades, earning a Distinguished Teaching Award in 2017. His recent work includes the Silver Cube-winning title sequence for Netflix’s The Andy Warhol Diaries.

But his biggest challenge? It's figuring out how to age in the Motion Design industry and what his next 10 years are starting to look like as a 55 y/o.

Jeffery Lawson (@jefferyl.png) is a U.S. Army combat veteran, art director, senior designer, and illustrator born and raised in North Carolina who has been through a lot. But maintains his optimism, even through adversity, because of his understanding that "shit happens" and it's how you pick yourself up afterwards that matters. by @thedashbash
