Anifest India 2008 received an overwhelming response from volunteers. The final team of 56 was lead by Devang Parikh. This group ensured a smooth and trouble free festival by efficiently running and managing the operational aspects of the event.

Anifest India 2008 was held on the 15th, 16th and 17th of August ‘08. This is a community driven event, which means that volunteers are the backbone of this festival. Enthusiastic and trustworthy people shoulder various responsibilities through the event.

Volunteers are the grease of TASI’s gears. People in ALL capacities right from organizing the stage, to being hall marshals, to assisting speakers, to updating the website, managing publicity and PR make sure that the event is a huge success every year. As expected, this year too we put up an event worth remembering. A bonafide “Certificate of Appreciation” was given to all those who contributed their time and services.

Vaibhav Kumaresh: Making of the 3 x 9 sequence

We got a call from Aamir Khan productions and they said we need to send them our showreel. We were thrilled just to get a call from them. After some more days we got a call saying we need to meet now. We were even more happy. We fixed up a time and went and met Aamir for the first time. This was around 3 months before the release of the film and we had to deliver 1 month before the release because there were many things – post-production, colour grading and writing onto film – to be done after the final visuals were done. Final sound had to be done. So we figured that we have just 2 months production time.
