Vaibhav Kumaresh on Fri, 10th Jul 2009 10:20 am
Hi Divyam,
If you have an animation film or exercise made using CG compositing, you could surely send it.
Hi vijay,
if the film has been created inhouse by you guys, then you could send it under the Professional Independent films category. All the best and hope to see your film soon!
HI Juhi Soni,
In our past events we have had sessions on script writing for animation. This year at Anifest India we have a session on the importance of story telling in animation. So dont miss that for sure!! Also, Nate Wragg from Pixar will be sharing original Concept Art from Ratatouille!!

Vaibhav Kumaresh on Tue, 21st Jul 2009 11:59 pm
hi bharat,
if you are a student, then submit your work under the student category.
dear roshan,
i am sorry we arent accepting films above 10 min. however i request you to still send it. if the film is exceptional, then the pre selection jury members might recommend a special screening of your film!
hi ajinkya,
no you dont have to be registered to send your film. there is no entry fee for sending your films.
Hi Tara,
you can definitely send in your films. TVCA is open to all animation film makers across the globe. Hope to see your films!
Hi Herin,
yes you can send your films with pre rigged characters. dont forget to acknowledge the riggers though!
If you are a student, then send under the student category. You dont have to be an ‘animation’ student.
Hi Ridhi,
If you are a student, then send your film under the student category. The independent category is for professionals.

vaibhav kumaresh on Mon, 27th Jul 2009 6:54 pm
hi priti,
you can send your films under the ‘independent professional’ category then. if you aren’t a student, then you qualify to be a professional! or if you are still studying enter it in the ’student category’. you don’t need to be a student of ‘animation’ to enter in the student category!!
