Just a meeting to sign Tuldok Animation's
official registration papers...

Calling Animators, BG Artists, Colorists!

Hello everyone,

I'm part of a group we formed called Tuldok.

The Philippines is known as an outsourcing powerhouse in the world today, especially in the field of animation. US, Japanese and European studios already have contacts here for quite some time now affirming the talent of the Filipino.

However, our talents are only being used to produce their stories, and not ours, with little or even no credit to the artists involved.

Tuldok was formed with a vision in mind, to create an all Filipino animated film, or a collection of short stories, showcasing not only the technical proficiency of us Filipinos, but our creative abilities as well.

Tuldok is a group of me and my friends, hoping to be able to create animated shorts to show to our countrymen and to the world. If you share the same dream as us, then this is an open invitation to flash animators. We are in need of your skills in realizing this dream. We are currently in the production stage for a 15 minute animated short film that revolves around Philippine Folklore.

We are now looking for Flash Animators, and Background Artsists & CG Colorists (Photoshop) who could help us make these dreams a reality.

• Flash animators with experience in character illustration is great, and even better if you have tried Character animation as well, of course since we will be a team, we will be working as a team.
• Background artists who can create forests, indoor scenes, and/or color them as well would be great.
  

If you are interested send us a sample of your work (jpg, gif, swf) or a link to your stuff to
tuldok.animation@gmail.com

set your subject to:
I'm a FLASH ANIMATOR!!! I CAN HELP!
or
I'm a CG ARTIST!!! PICK ME!

Should you be accepted, let's meet up and discuss the project.

There will be compensation for each scene/BG you will be doing, (it isnt studio rate, again this is an indie production, but there will be food and other freebies, aside from your compensation, so don't worry, we're trying to keep everyone involved happy!) plus you will be working with a team of talented people whom you can share or get new ideas and techniques with (if you wish).

Yes, the Filipino can, we always could. Let's just remind & show the whole world, and our countrymen about it.

We are hoping others share in our dream.

Ben set them straight.

Doing soooo much...

We're a little behind on our production timetable...and we need...

- more background artists, flash animators and colorists
- a tuldok animation website
- a final venue for voice recording
- a final script

Although we've done a lot (and I mean a lot--voice auditions, script discussions, background design meetings, online chats, planning, BIR registration, name reservations at DTI, etc.) it seems we still have a mountain of stuff to do. But I'm not worried...the delay is still not alarming. That is unless Ramon, our animator-director, says it is. Until then, I have resolved not to resort to panic--be calm and collected. I will just continue to believe that everything is manageable. And that hopefully by sending out another call for animators, we'll be able to find more people who share in our dream.
