I agree mukul,

the awards need not be so expensive, it is understandable to have
some entry fee, but awards need to be supported by industry
sponsors. Infact it is not difficult to have the awards sponsored,
what it could mean is that then the awards would be called xyz
design awards and BW and NID will have to be credited for organising
them.... (branding issues). But i guess all this discussion on
awards is too late..and people responsible dont seem to care enough
to reply...thats india's generic problem...most of our day today
problems wouldnt be there if the responsible people listen. so lets
not waste breath on this..its take it or leave it anyway.

I am posting "Design for Asia" awards from Honkong Design Center on
this group. They are very keen to promote these awards in India.
These are open to international designs launched in India. So keen
that Tony Sim from Hong Design Center would be visiting India from
4th to 9th of august. He is keen to meet groups in Bombay, Delhi,
Bangalore. These are FREE and based on nominations. Must note the
categories..very clear and precise...so is the judging..very
transparent...Do check this out. I am putting it in files folder on
group site..and if u can not download..send me a mail on my
elephantdesign.com id.

Just an Idea- How about Nidesign egroup awards....based on design
for asia awards....

sudhir

The Next Big Draw for India
   The computer-savvy subcontinent is moving into a new field: digital
animation

   By Arvind Adiga in Bombay
   Time / 12 July 2004
   http://www.time.com/time/asia/magazine/article/0,13673,501040712-
660982,00.html


Sachin Garud, a 28-year-old computer animator, spends a good part of
his day staring at a screen while trying to get a cartoon bull named
Ferny to talk. Although the operation is entirely digital, the work
is nonetheless laborious. Garud, who is employed by a Bombay studio
called Crest Communication, has to manipulate Ferny's lip movements
to match the words the character speaks in Jakers! The Adventures of
Piggley Winks, an Emmy Award-nominated cartoon serial on America's
PBS network. While Garud handles Ferny's lip-synching, a colleague is
in charge of the movements of other taurine body parts; another is
making one of Ferny's friends, a sheep named Wiley, come to life. The
work might be time consuming and repetitive, but Garud insists that
it has its little pleasures. "It's a lot of fun getting Ferny to
sing," he says.

Animators like Garud typically earn salaries ranging from $3,500 to
$30,000 a year, much less than the $40,000 to $100,000 they'd pocket
if they worked in the U.S. But no one at Crest is complaining.
India's animators have never had it so good. In what could be the
country's next outsourcing boom, a growing number of American
companies are looking to India as a place where they can get high-
quality computer-generated animation done on the cheap. Orders for
cartoon serials, computer games, direct-to-home DVDs and
demonstration videos are pouring into India; at least nine cartoon
serials aimed at the American and European markets are in
production. "The amount of work coming into India is phenomenal,"
says Rajiv Sangari, director of the animation unit at Padmalaya
Telefilms, which recently signed a $14 million deal with Mondo TV, an
Italian company, to produce more than a hundred episodes of an
animated TV series.

Although India's tech companies and call centers could sell $12
billion worth of software and services to foreigners this year,
insiders estimate that the animation industry makes only about $150
million in annual revenues. But executives expect sales to at least
double this year and to keep growing exponentially. Animation studios
are sprouting throughout India there are at least 70 already in
operation and companies are on a hiring spree. Sangari, for example,
says Padmalaya Telefilms currently has 160 animators but aims to
increase staff to 400 within a month. Even that won't be enough, so
he's planning to fly in 25 animators from the Philippines to help
out.

American TV and film companies have been outsourcing animation work
to South Korea and the Philippines for more than a decade, but India
has managed to muscle into the business, thanks to technological
advances and shifting American tastes. Although many animated films
and TV programs still use traditional animation, which begins with
hand-sketched images on paper, the success of movies such as Shrek
and Toy Story has meant that films and TV serials are increasingly
being digitally animated, produced entirely on computers using 3-D
graphics. That's a boon for India, with its expertise in software and
computer skills. While creative control is retained in the U.S. a
team of American master animators comes up with the look of each
character, and scriptwriters determine the plots and dialogue the
task of creating each episode is outsourced to Indian animators,
allowing the American company to lower its costs by up to 50%. A
typical half-hour 3-D cartoon episode can cost $70,000 to $100,000 to
produce in India compared with $170,000 to $250,000 in the U.S.

The economics are compelling, but it's still been difficult for
India's animators to gain the acceptance of clients who don't think
of India as an animation center. A.K. Madhavan, Crest's CEO, recalls
fruitless sales trips he made to the U.S. in 1999 and 2000. "Had we
known how tough it would be to get a breakthrough," Madhavan admits
in retrospect, "we might not have kept going." Persistence and a
little good fortune helped Madhavan get his big break. While in Texas
in 2001, he met with an independent animation producer named Mike
Young, who happens to share Madhavan's passion for cricket. The two
bonded and Young agreed to watch a test animation clip done by Crest.
He liked what he saw and gave Crest the order for the Jakers! show.
Currently, the studio has contracts to animate three serials destined
for American TV.

It helps that the stigma once associated with "made-in-India" goods
and services is evaporating, thanks to the success of software
outsourcing giants such as Infosys and Wipro. "Earlier, you had to
spend most of your time selling India and a little time selling your
company," says Biren Ghose, CEO of Bombay-based Animation
Bridge. "Now, I don't have to sell India. I can start selling my
company straight away." Because of globalization, cultural
differences that affect production values the look and feel of
programs are rapidly disappearing, too. "Ten years ago, when Bugs
Bunny said, 'What's the hubbub, bub?,' most Indians would not have
got it," says Nilesh Sardesai, creative director at Crest. "But
today, they do," because Indian society has opened to foreign
influences.

The animation boom is cascading throughout India's entertainment
industry. One offshoot has been the rise of computer-game
outsourcing. In the Bangalore offices of Dhruva Interactive, a group
of twentysomethings sit with comic books and programming manuals
while their computer screens flash with images of G.I.s carrying
machine guns, teenagers shooting pool in smoky halls, ogres and
medieval labyrinths. They're developing games that will be sold to
Dhruva clients such as Microsoft. While some Indian animation
companies are looking to expand into computer games, others,
emboldened by the success of Crest, are dreaming of the big money:
digitally animated films. Rajesh Turakhia, CEO of Maya Entertainment,
a Bombay-based studio, says that Indian companies will next target
smaller Hollywood 3-D animation films with budgets of $10 million to
$20 million.

India's ambitions could be thwarted by a shortage of skilled
animators. Experts estimate that India has only about 4,000 animators
who can handle complex projects which is woefully inadequate for all
the work coming in. "We need at least another 2,000 to 3,000
animators this year, but I'm not seeing that many new people in this
business," says Animation Bridge's Ghose. One problem, complains
Rajesh Rao, the CEO of Dhruva Interactive, is that few of India's art
schools and engineering colleges offer computer animation courses.
Another barrier facing the industry is cultural. "The Indian
mentality is that if I have to put my child into a science or
engineering school, I am happy. But we don't want our children to go
into art or culture as a profession," says Padmalaya's Sangari. The
shortage of talent has raised concern that some clients could grow
disillusioned with the quality of work they receive from Indian
animators. "Many in the industry do not know how they will exeute all
these orders," says Sangari.

India may not have much time to adapt. China, Russia and the Ukraine
are rapidly emerging as rivals. One Indian executive laments that he
just lost out on a contract unexpectedly after offering to do the job
at the standard Indian rate of $4,000 per month for each animator; a
Russian competitor undercut him, agreeing to do it for just $1,800
per person. India's schools will have to start churning out thousands
of qualified animators each year before a new generation of Russian
and Chinese animators figures out the fine art of making cartoon
bulls talk.

Hi,
Will the annoncement for the awards be limited to just one issue of Business
World ( which of course my lazy self, went too late to pick up and the new
issue had hit the stands.......)???
I think there should be multi location postings so that there is a larger
reach and possibility of misses reduced.
Can somebody post the awards details on this group for all to read ( or
re-read..), or tell me where else i can access the details
