Anifest India 2009 – Feedback

GUEST SPEAK

Anifest is the biggest event in the animation arena in India.Had a gr8 time in Anifest ’09. Felt myself a part of this whole animation fraternity.The event was organised wonderfully with lot of  planning which went behind it. Must congratulate the organizers for their contribution and the amazing speakers.The only part which I felt let down was the venue this time .Rest everything was excellent. Looking forward for 2010.

Dear all,
It was a grand success!

We require workshops with people like Anand Bhanushali from Krayon pictures on pipeline creation for feature films, Mr. Chetan Sashital and Sekhar. Certain factors have to be briefed to the speakers on assembly etiquette. Certain areas of speach were provocative on vested interests of animation training academies hiding his own vested interest which we saw after his event. I wish to mention my thanks to all the sponsors and the volunteers whose relentless and selfless work yielded this fruit.

RESPONSE FROM TASI:
Thank you for your frank comments and suggestions. Please note, TASI has very clear guidelines that are sent to speakers before we confirm their sessions. However as these are guidelines we expect the speakers to respect our requests and focus their presentations on the art and craft of their chosen topic and refrain from presenting any material that can be construed as self promotional or derogatory to the interest of other parties. Beyond that it is left to the respected guests to honor their commitments to the Society.

The opinions expressed by the speakers are their own and the Society does not condone or endorse them in any manner whatsoever.

The workshops you have suggested are being planned and please keep in touch with us for the latest. We also request you to help us ensure maximum participation from all education and training institutions so that everyone can benefit from such events.

Hi TASI Bhaiyon aur behenon!

Simpuji ki JAI HO!

A Big Congratulations for an awesome experience during Anifest 09 last week. I enjoyed all the sessions i attended and was a great eye opener as an artist from the industry. Besides whatever help we could provide as part of CGTantra, I personally was more of one of the many in the audience who enjoyed to the last bit all the sessions: let it be the pipeline of Krayons or the magnificence of “Little Krishna” or the incredible humour-in-voice personified in Chetan.

Thanks a lot again and looking forward to more MAST times ahead.

CHEERS,
Chand (Co-Founder of CGTantra)

Hey Vaibhav, Tony and all those worked hard to make the Anifest’09 a grand success, I just want to tell you guys that you have done such a terrific job by organising such a mega event and our efforts as speakers are miniscule compared to that.. Hope this event makes our industry leap upwards, encouraging progressive thinking and collaborative efforts amongst industry seniors, and the young animation aspirants!

Thanks
Cheers!!!!
E. Suresh  (SPEAKER @ Anifest India ’09)


Hi Vaibhav, Tony and the TASI gang,

I really had a great time speaking to all the KANSENs at the “Voicing for Animation” session. I am sorry that maine thoda zyada footage khaya. Session thoda lamba ho gaya. Lekin sabko bahut mazza aya! I hope they will be inspired and fired up to create many more interesting characters and take animation to greater heights. Once again congratulations to the TASI team for organising such a grand event.

Regards,
Chetan Sashital (SPEAKER @ Anifest India ’09)


Hi all,

Kudos  to TASI for this extraordinary event. The arrangement was well orchestrated and the enthusiasm was overwhelming.
I enjoyed all the other sessions, (and so did my 7 year old daughter!). Yes I’m ready for a focussed workshop on this subject, and would be available in the first week of November for that.
Based on the numbers, I can also organize for the venue at IITB.

Thank you speakers for the excellent sessions! and TASI for the great coordination!!
Sameer Sahasrabudhe  (SPEAKER @ Anifest India ’09)

Hi TASI!
Anifest has been great!
Am really upset that Nate Wragg couldn’t make it :( :( :( As am sure you all are too. Please do get him to come down soon. I’ve been an avid devotee of Disney’s Pixar for many years now and one day hope to join them, I know its a long shot but I won’t stop trying!
Thanks a lot for having Mr. E.Suresh! U should have more sessions on Content Development:) It was really enlightening and encouraging to hear of their journey through Animation during the early nascent years.

Keep Rawking!

Respected committee members,
1 – First of all I would like to thank for organisining such an education fest along with it I’d also like to bring to your notice on problem faced by physical challenged people as I’m one of them.
2 – It was my fist seminar with TASI, we people don’t like to take help every now and then. The place (IIT Powai) you have choose was good but we face problem on stairs case at the time of entry/exit also the basic necessity (The Washroom) was under ground
3 – But I strongly believe that “where there’s a will there’s way” hence I managed to enter with the help of my friends and TASI volunteers co-operation but not able to use washroom hence I had to left the fest in the mid for all three days.
4 – We people don’t want special treatment we like to be independent on doing our day to day work.
5 – It is my request to have such a place where we can independently manage to come and enjoy the fest/seminar OR can have more TASI volunteers co-operation.

Thank You
Imran Shaikh, MAAC, Mumbai


This is a wonderful society and the Anifest-09 was a good learning experience, it is fantastic platform for everyone to display there creative talent. Three cheers for TASI.
