It is doing a lot of good to the entertainment industry and I wish them vigour and zeal so that they continue to push the event further every year and the International particpation continues to increase”

“FICCI FRAMES is one of the best opportunities to get together and interact with leading animation experts and channel heads. We will be having a series of meetings with some of the overseas speakers who are going to be there. It will be a great meeting ground for professionals. So far there is no other such forum in India which provides a platform to interact on a business level.”

This year i am also looking forward to the sessions on broaband implementation at consumer level abnd how streaming video can be utilised by consumers”

“FRAMES is a great channel to gauge the international interest in this space. I am attending the BAF Awards as one of our games called Bomber Babe has been nominated for a special jury award”

“FRAMES to me means opportunities, newer avenues and knowing the industry better. Besides the regular sessions at FRAMES, I have quite a few private networking meetings lined up at FRAMES and that’s something I am looking forward to”

Landmarvel Animation Studios Production Head, Vetrivell V
“We look at FRAMES as something that will help us understand the industry better. It also provides us the opportunity to shake hands with the best of the industry. This year we have taken up a stall to further business possibilities”

“Seminars of this nature are definitely needed. They keep you abreast on the business side of animation. They also help you to lower the learning curve through interaction with companies that have used advanced techniques in both production and management of the business. They help one to better understand the succcess/failure stories of the people in the business which is extremely important for an industry like ours.”
