AI can now turn a single sentence into a production-ready animation. That part is getting easy. The hard part is everything after: keeping motion consistent across a product, turning it into a system with tokens and rules, making sure it performs on every device, and actually shipping it.
That gap is what Code Meets Animation is about, and it’s what we’re digging into for an evening in Taipei.
The AI Collective Taipei is teaming up with LottieFiles for a night of conversation with local motion designers, a first look at new AI tools, a hands-on live challenge, and plenty of time to meet people building with motion and AI.
Who this is forIf you’re curious about AI and motion, you belong here. Especially:
Motion designers and animators exploring AI in their workflow
Product and frontend engineers (web, React Native, Flutter)
Product designers without a motion background
Design systems and interaction designers
PMs, eng leads and founders
Agency and freelance builders
Entry: Free, with a 1-drink minimum purchase at the venue.

Speakers
Cheng Ping Li, Motion Designer
Trained in Arts Management at National Taipei University of Education, Cheng Ping realized his calling was creating, and taught himself animation, design and illustration. Over six years he’s built a strong foundation in 2D motion and character animation across branding, storytelling and digital content, and is now exploring 3D. He’s inspired by typography, visual storytelling, cinema and the cultures behind them.

Poyin Chen, Motion Designer & Supervisor | AI-powered motion workflows
Poyin designs and supervises motion for brands that need their stories to move people, not just pixels. Over the past decade he has led motion across ceremony visuals, brand identities, commercials and large-scale projection for clients including Disney, Google, Bloomberg, CNN and McDonald’s. Now he’s plugging AI straight into production, driving After Effects through custom tooling and generative pipelines so the craft scales without losing its hand.
