Honorable Mentions
The following winners made a lasting impression on the judging panel and secured highly sought after badges.
Category Brief
The primary focus for this category is 3D Animation. The judges are looking for short films that are 100% computer generated. The films should be similar to what you’d expect to see from Pixar or Dreamworks. The films can still have a realistic feel to them, but if your film includes live-action plates please submit to the Visual Effects category instead.
Important Notes
- You must submit a completed film or teaser trailer for your film. Single assets and clips will not be considered.
- We accept films currently on the Film Festival Circuit. These films will not be shared publicly, however please include a password that will be securely shared with our judging panel.
- Please include supporting material with your finished film. The judges need to better understand the process, the challenges and how your film was created.
- Team entries are allowed. Make sure that only one team member submits the project and adds additional team members as project collaborators.
- Films must not have been released prior to June 2019.
- Entries can include 2D elements to help enhance the story or visuals. However, the focus should be on 3D elements and techniques.
