Frame Flixx Awards 2009 - Call for entries
A Big Thank You
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

Luckily, today times have changed. The Indian animation industry has seen an astounding growth and there are several lucrative career options in the field of animation, VFX and gaming.
