We are sponsored by DreamWorks and several of their animators mentor our team.

I'd be pretty happy if they were recruited to judge the AVA awards


Having a rubric would really help. But as with all movies, the real deciding factor will always lie with the storyboard and theme. If you go back and review the winning AVA's you'll see that they all flowed beautifully, and had great themes.

You can have technical excellence and a bad animation.
