Project Submission

From Animation Luzern Wiki

This is a step by step guide how to submit a film / app to the archive. All data (film, music, app, stills, ...) have to be saved on our internal server or - in special circumstances - can be saved on a portable hard drive.

Every file / project has to be submitted with our Namer Form. If you have a specific question or a film / project format that is not on the following list ask the Technical Support.

All entries are in order of preference.
