Philippine Animation at the Chinese International School Manila

 

Last October 23, 3- 6 year old students of the Chinese International School Manila (http://www.cismanila.org/main/) in Mckinley Hill, Taguig had the opportunity to learn about Philippine Animation. The kids were able to participate in the creation of an animated character called "Goldie The Fish" during the workshop conducted by Tuldok Animation Studios. While in the afternoon session, 8-10 year old students had the opportunity to watch the 40-minute animated short film "Pasintabi" and learn about Philippine folklore. Thank you CISmanila for giving us the opportunity to share our craft!

FREE ADMISSION

The Alcazaren Brothers are known for their short animated videos on stop-motion animation and clay animation. The Animation Council of the Philippines, Inc. or ACPI is an organization supporting Filipino talents in animation and the development of the curriculum and schooling of animation in the Philippines.

Knowledge Channel to air Tuldok Animation Studios' "From Lines To Life" 7 Animation Instructional Videos

September 10, 2013—Knowledge Channel Foundation, Inc. (KCFI) signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with Tuldok Animation Studios for the airing of its seven-part three dimensional how-to series in animation entitled “From Lines to Life: An Introduction to Animation”, which discusses the basics of producing an animated film from writing, pre-production, production proper, and music and voice recording. Signatories to the MOA are Ms. Rina Lopez Bautista, President of KCFI, and Mr. Ramon del Prado, President of Tuldok Animation Studios. Mr. Edric Calma, Director for Transmedia of KCFI, and Ms. Analyn Pineda, Vice President of Tuldok Animation Studios, witnessed the signing.

The goal of these videos is to familiarize Filipino viewers with the medium and to encourage those already interested in animation to begin telling their stories and making their own animated films, thereby producing more original Filipino animated content. The said video series, which is produced by Tuldok in collaboration with DOST-Information and Communications Technology Office (DOST-ICTO) and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), will also be included in K Channel learning website, kchonline.ph, and in on-demand packages.

Tuldok Animation Studios, Inc. made its first public screening of its sophomore project, a double header consisting of a 40 minute film entitled, "Pasintabi", and the pilot episode of a 7 part educational video series on animation entitled, "From Lines to Life".

All systems go for Pasintabi Producer Benedict Carandang

Tuldok's presentation was the closing segment, part of CICT's Creative Development Program launch event entitled, "Unboxed" which aims to showcase the talent of Filipinos especially when given the latest technological tools. The previous segments included a game called "Jeepney ni Janjan" by Anino games, as well as an future look at how the Creative Industry can help the Philippine economy in the coming years.

"Lines to Life" producer, Ayeen Pineda

"Pasintabi" writer, director, producer, character designer, and animator, Jeff Capili

Lines to Life' pilot episode that covered a large chunk of the history of animation in the Philippines was followed by the 40 minute screening of Tuldok's second original film, "Pasintabi" to a jam packed Cinema 1 in SM Megamall last December 1, 2010.

Avid supporter of the arts and Tuldok Animation Studios, Cecile Guidote Alvarez

Executive Producer of Tuldok's second phase, Len Beltran of the CICT, spearheading the Creative Content Development Program

Special thanks goes to the unwavering support of the Commission on Information and Communications Technology, whose forward thinking stance on how the country can actually benefit from new media by mixing Filipino creativity with the advances in information technology, and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, whose emphasis in the Filipino culture follows our group's goal of preserving the Filipino culture as we move into the information age.

What happened to the blog???

Yep, it's been a while since this blog was updated. What can I say, it's been a hectic 2010! But at least we've got a 40 minute short film to show for it and 7 educational videos which we will now be showing all around the Philippines! :)

Despite our really limited manpower we were able to get those things done and still keep up with our school tours. The only victims here are our website and the blog... we were just too busy for a good update! I guess being busy is a good excuse! But here's to its revival and looking forward to 2011!

We will see you all soon! :)

Ondoy the Tsunami from the Sky: How you can help

We take a break from our usual posts because of an unusual time. 

Tropical Storm Ondoy (international name Ketsana) has submerged most of northern Philippines with torrential rains creating a disaster equal to that of Katrina in New Orleans and the flash floods in Istanbul Turkey. Several people have already lost their lives and hundreds and thousands are left without food and shelter.

Will be reposting links gathered from several websites on how one can help out.
