Hi everybody, it has been a while Atok did not appear in this blog. Actually Atok and Nenek were busy, we just cameback from Bangkok attending the Bangkok Film Festival at the invitation of MDeC. Overthere we had a chance to meet the Thailand's animation companies in a business forum co-organised by SIPA and MDeC. Well, their animation industry are flourishing domestically as most of the TV stations overthere are supportive to their local product, unlike here only one TV station is interested to pay resonable price while others prefer to buy syndicated works which is cheap. However, when we screened the "Geng" trailers, it was received overwhelmingly as our quality of animation is much much superior compared to them.
During the B to B session, a number of Thai's companies lining-up to meet us for a possible co-production ventures. We also had a chance to visit Kantana Studio, the studio which produce "Khan Kluay", the 1st 3D animated feature film from Thailand. We met the team and they were excited to our "Geng" trailer and we had a good meeting with them. We were given a copy of "Khan Kluay", although it is in Thai with no subtitles, Hafizi liked it as the animation and rendering are superb.
Late last month a local TV station invited us to produce a 4 minute series with regard to fasting month featuring Upin & Ipin from our "Geng". Well, the team took up the challenge and a t the same time we are testing our capabilities to produce a meaningful television series. We intend to finish a 6 episodes series in 7 weeks from scratch. That is why all our team are so busy that they do not have the time to contribute to our blog or forum.
To date we have completed one episode and the project is progressing well and we are confident that it will be completed as schedule. This series will be about Upin & Ipin learning to fast for the first time. Unfortunately, we cannot tell you which station it will be aired as we have not finalise the arrangement. Insyaallah.. we will let you know in a few weeks time. Mumu will keep you posted when he have time and some of his rendering works have been completed.
So...till next time, wait for our Upin & Ipin on air.
