About the Indie Fest

Mission & Objective

The Indie Fest is about helping independent filmmakers gain credibility and publicity. The primary goal of traditional film festivals is to bring entertainment to local audiences, which makes filmmakers of secondary importance. The Indie Fest is not a traditional film festival, it is an international awards competition. Serving filmmakers is our first and only goal.

The Indie Fest is a showcase for cinematic gems and unique voices. It is a user-friendly competition. Indie awards go to those filmmakers, actors, producers and members of the creative team who create fresh, standout films, television programs, compelling documentaries and new media.

The Indie is a top-tier, international awards competition. Entries come from all over the world including Argentina, Austria, Bangladesh, Belgium, Bermuda, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Malta, Martinique, México, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom and the United States.

The Indie Fest’s has seasonal deadlines/judging and grants awards as appropriate within four to six weeks after each deadline. Winners are also promoted via targeted press releases to media outlets, and to the Indie’s email database of more than 65,000 filmmakers and industry insiders.

Action / Body Mechanics Animation Test [Refined]

Refined Stage

This is the refined stage of my Action / Body Mechanics Animation Assignment. I have fixed the first jump over the box, reposed the fingers and cleaned up the arc of the character’s head. Initially, I have encountered problems with the first jump, the action seem to be popping and the switching of legs feels weird. So I went online to look for more parkour reference to study them and get the problem fixed. It took me 2 hours to refine the animation. The whole body mechanics animation from planning to refined stage took me 32 hours to complete.

Animation Test For LAS – Acting Performance Assignment [Refined]

Refined Stage

This is the refined version of the acting performance assignment. Things that I changed and refined are the head turning, lip sync and the hands playing with the skull. The reason why I added in the head turn in the beginning is to establish the character relationship with the off screen character that he is talking to. Took me 3 hours to refine. The total time spent for the clip is 25 hours, including 2 hours for planning and research.
