Alphabest & Reel Review 2016

Alphabest is an invitational collaborative show where local individuals or teams of talented animators & video artists make a creation (15 – 60 seconds long) based on a word that begins with a randomly assigned letter from the alphabet. The 26 created pieces will be assembled for an amazing presentation.

Reel Review 2016 will be a showcase of the best reels of local talent in motion, 3d and vfx. Reels will be judged and critiqued by some of Portland’s very own seasoned professionals.  Prizes!

9iFX is a visual effects and post production studio located in Portland’s SE waterfront, specializing in high-end VFX and motion graphics for top-tier brands, digital video campaigns, event visuals, film, TV and internal corporate videos. Our services include everything from creative and design to production and post-production or any combination therein.

9iFX works directly with both brands and creative agencies. We’ve collaborated with a number of creative teams around the Portland area and beyond, working on a variety of projects for big name brands like Puma, ESPN, Mountain Dew, The Syfy Channel, Adidas, and Nike to name a few. Whether you need high-end motion graphics, 3D animation, digital environment creation, or “fix-it-in-post” repairs, we can help.

Our open house will feature an impressive cheese platter (because, cheese) with local micro-brews to wash it down and a showcase of our collective works projected onto our 14′ green screen wall. Come check out our space, and let’s chat about how we can help you create stunning visual content for your next project or campaign.
