Taiwan was a highly produced sub-contracting animation work country in the early days, but with the transformation of the industry; the market, the capital and the talents were outflowed. Although the special effects industry has received more and more attention in response to market demand in recent years, as the end of the production process of the film and television industry, it is often impossible to participate in the discussion in the early stage of production. As a result, it is often to execute the tasks with more effort when the budget cannot be improved.
In recent years, in response to the popularity of mobile devices and the development of new media platforms; film and television-related industries have more and more opportunities standing on the international stage; relatively speaking, the industry must also face international market competition. The Animation and VFX Association is an industry association established under this background. This is Taiwan-based animation and VFX industry platform which is gathering the teams and enterprises in animation and special effects. In addition to improving competitiveness in the international market, and the association also hope to achieve the goal of solidly built industry through the sharing of experiences and information exchanges between other industries.
