The 'All About Animation' Blog » Trivia http://www.allaboutanimation.com/blog Understanding the Indian Animation Scenario Wed, 26 May 2010 19:23:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 en hourly 1 A Big Thank You http://www.allaboutanimation.com/blog/announcements/a-big-thank-you/ http://www.allaboutanimation.com/blog/announcements/a-big-thank-you/#comments Fri, 02 Jan 2009 06:34:57 +0000 akshata http://www.allaboutanimation.com/blog/?p=452 Since the time I launched the AAA blog and website just over a year ago, I have tried to keep my readers updated as often as possible with information, announcements and news but lately it has been tough. Being the lone force behind AAA, I have juggled client obligations, work commitments and my updates on the AAA website and blog. When you are a writer, designer, editor, animator, accountant, marketing manager, PR person, event organiser and home-maker all rolled into one, sometimes you slip-up. I offer my loyal readers, friends and well-wishers my sincere apology for the times when I have delayed putting up posts or responding to comments, feedback and emails. Those of you who were unaware before that AAA is a one-woman team, now you do. So I hope you understand and forgive :)

I would also like to thank all of you who have read my articles and commented, sent feedback, asked questions, given suggestions and encouraged me in any way you could. I have sincerely tried to answer your queries, solve your doubts and share information through my articles. I have also ensured that my write-ups are ALWAYS unbiased and true - if I have praised somebody or something, it is because I truly believe it is praise-worthy. If I have criticized, it is because I have felt strongly about the flaws. All About Animation is neither funded nor sponsored by any individual or organization - it is solely my effort to do my bit to raise awareness about animation in India and encourage our talented animators.

CGTantra Community Honour for Akshata & AllAboutAnimation.com

CGTantra Community Honour for Akshata & AllAboutAnimation.com

Having said that, it is really nice to be appreciated by my peers for my efforts. The “Community Honour” conferred on me by CGTantra at their 4th Anniversary event in December 2008 has been a sweet validation of my endeavours and it sure feels good to be acknowledged. Thank you Chand, Abhishek and the entire team at CGTantra.

2009 has begun with a lot of question marks - stalled projects, jobless animators and an overall uncertainty that has beset members of India’s animation community. I will do my best to keep you updated. You will see many new things on the AAA website/blog in 2009. So keep watching :)

Flipanimation.net is a monthly online magazine that’s been around since May 2007. With some very interesting articles and free readership, it seems to be quite popular. Their latest issue (September 2008) has a very interesting Black and White photograph on the cover - its the Character Animation Class of 1976 from Cal Arts and guess who’s there in the picture? See for yourself…
