Motion Design is about action, energy, light, and movement intertwined with message and meaning. It includes the push and pulls of forces, whether they are recorded with a video camera or objects created on the screen with complex software. Gravity, speed, and velocity, simulate elements in an interplay of movement. Interfaces, interactive systems, narratives and messaging all incorporate exchanges of dynamic and well-planned interplay.
Motion Design is a shifting and evolving sphere—it encompasses a broad range of related fields: human-computer interaction, design, journalism, film, television, dance, and theater. Our central theme for 2019 is (inter)play, the way in which two or more things have an effect on each other.
Together we will explore three focus tracks: research, pedagogy, and practice that embrace (inter)play. Particular interest will be on papers and workshops that explore social inclusion, responsible design practices, politics, augmented reality, virtual reality, narrative, gameplay, tools and new types of motion design making. All submissions should have a strong relationship to motion design in order to be accepted to the conference and included in the 2019 proceedings.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
Long papers
Long papers are appropriate for finished research projects, design case studies, pedagogical innovations, and design criticism. Long papers should report original work not previously published elsewhere. Submissions must identify and cite relevant published work and explain how the paper furthers motion design education. Full papers will be expected to be around 4,000 to 6,000 words. Review of papers will follow a double-blind peer review process.
- Abstract submission must include an abstract, a detailed outline, five to seven keywords, and references. The abstract should be between 400–700 words, excluding references.
- Paper submissions must include an abstract, outline, five to seven keywords, author bio(s), paper and works cited in APA format.
- At least one author should plan to attend and present at MODE 2019 in Wellington, New Zealand.
- All accepted papers will be published in the 2019 conference proceedings. Presentations will be recorded and shared on our Vimeo account. Presentations will be 30 minutes in length with 20 minutes of presentation and 10 minutes of discussion. A template will be provided following abstract acceptance.
Short papers
Short papers are appropriate for new and emerging projects that may be in progress. Short papers are intended to report original work not previously published elsewhere. Short papers may be installations, interactive experiences, hands-on experiences, short research-based films and motion technologies. They may be based on games, animations, prototypes, or performances. The purpose of the short paper is to provide in-progress research a platform for discussion, debate, conversation, and critique. Short papers will be expected to be around 1,000 to 2,500 words. Review of papers will follow a double-blind peer review process.
- Abstract submission must include an abstract, a detailed outline, five to seven keywords, and references. The abstract should be under 500 words, excluding references.
- Paper submissions must include an abstract, outline, five to seven keywords, author bio(s), paper and works cited in APA format.
- At least one author should plan to attend and present at MODE 2019 in Wellington, New Zealand.
- All accepted papers will be published in the 2019 conference proceedings. Presentations will be recorded and shared on our Vimeo account. Presentations will be 8 minutes in length with 2 minutes of discussion. A template will be provided following abstract acceptance.
Workshop Sessions
Workshop sessions act as an extension of the conference experience, allowing attendees to be participants. They give presenters an opportunity to interact with attendees over the course of 90 minutes. Workshops can be hands-on, discussion-based and/or process driven. We invite workshop proposals that will engage participants in motion design, motion design education, or a related field of study.
- Workshop proposals must include an abstract, a session outline, five to seven keywords, author bio(s) and works cited.
- The abstract should be under 500 words, excluding references.
- Proposals should be submitted to the conference submission system and will be reviewed by a sub-committee of organizers led by the MODE organizing committee. They will be peer-reviewed, but the process will not be blind.

Venue
Massey University’s School of Design in Wellington, New Zealand will host MODE 2019. Massey University’s College of Creative Arts is recognized by the US National Association of Schools of Art and Design and ranks as one of New Zealand’s top design and visual art research institutions. Recently, the city of Wellington has seen job and business growth in animation, application development, gaming, film, post-production and visual effects. The city is home to award-winning director Peter Jackson, director of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and his companies, including Weta Workshop, Weta Digital, Camperdown Studios, Park Road Post, and Stone Street Studios.
It goes without mentioning that Wellington’s beautiful bay, landscape, and comfortable climate make it a hidden gem in the southern hemisphere and the perfect backdrop for advancing discussion in motion design education and experiencing a new environment.
