About

2010 saw the heightened need for more visual content due to the huge wave of improved visual technology as in the new 3D imagery and the continued excitement caused by iPhones & iPads. The festival strived for new endeavors that incorporate "evolution and transformation" as its theme to bring in the new era of visual image culture. The festival screened its first ever "3D Program" and convened a seminar by inviting members of the WETA Workshop, the major VFX studio in New Zealand, to illustrate and demonstrate how to incorporate big-budget Hollywood level special effects at the short film level.
In addition, as part of this wide-ranging development, the Music Short competition was created as a new genre that combines music and moving images as short films. We also began sales of applications for short films to be used on iPhones & iPads.
