Saladin the Movie (Made in Malaysia)

Wednesday, 25. January 2006, 23:15:10

Amazing that Malaysia can come up with such a project. Hopefully, the finished product will be as slick as the website. It seems a little too Disney by the way, just my 2 cents. Doa(pray) they make a decent movie.

Saladin the Movie

Poor Work Performance Blamed on InternetNow this is my kind of movie

there have been a lot of growing and developing animation studios around malaysia now, i dare say. heard of moonfx? flare studios? these are one of malaysia's top animation studios, just to name a few. the exposure to 3d animation is growing among young generations. i think it's time for malaysia to come up with this kind of thing. yes, it does look disney-ish but its a start rather than watching our old animation stuff (usop sontorian? keluang man?). ive actually seen the unofficial trailer via my lecturer and i have to say, even though they are yet to finalize the sound and some of the 3d rendering, the visual is awesome. it's a big leap. something to be proud of here. this is something we're (or at least, us, animators and some animation fans) waiting for.

I just hope the final product is worth the hype. Previous releases of malaysian made animations were , sad to say .. ugly as hell. hey .. even disney's 1950's animation is better than what they have to offer. I have a feeling that Saladin's the animation will almost definately suffer the same fate ..

and to the Production houses .. Please prove me wrong .

I think you shld take 1 thing at a time ... lets see if this gets implemented 1st b4 u can think of others.
Considering that they r looking for RM10m to fund this project, that
leaves alot of question unanswered ... like who will pick the tab :P

i want to ask something to the production house , when is this movie is officialy released. Is it going to be in worldwide production ( in cinemas ) or just in malaysia? ....

and please make more notice of it, it caught my eye because am doing a historical research. More people want to know about this.

And if you finish this movie try and start something envolving the arabs in north africa introducing '' Al- Andalus '' in the year 711 lead by '' Tariq ibn ziad ''.

inshallah these ideas get through and make something out of it.

thank you

salam

Thats the problem with the local entertainment industry. If they somehow have allocated the budget for production .. they will most definately be lacking on marketing , and vice versa.(In worst cases, there isnt a budget for marketing at all) Thats why we knows (mind you) jack sh*t about the animated movie Saladin. Non of the government agencies nor local entertainment industry giants are willing to show support/lend a hand. That is why it is difficult for local entertainment industries to survive .. locally, especially on cartoon + animated + manga + anime + media. This is not the same senario in our neighbouring country (filipina). Its a multi million dollars industry. Now what is wrong with our country ? My personal opinion ? Its our people. There's just not enough demand for such material/product.

Before the industry can be changed .. its our people who needs to change... or the same fate will be for repeated again and again .. and domestic man power will decreases as people will shy away from such non promising carier. Graphic designer ? Animation ? 3D modeling ? .. doomded !!

The Saladin trailer definitely showcases the technical grasp the Malaysian company Silver Ant has on 3D animation. While it is a vast improvent from its predecessors, I hope that it will not just become one scenic 3D tour of today's CGI marvels. Like with all animations, it is the ability to portray endearing human qualities in the characters and the storyline that makes an animation top notch. I hope Saladin will sucessfully avoid going down the path of Finay Fantasy the movie and its likes.

While marketing the Malaysian animation industry as a capable candidate for handling out-sourced jobs from animation giants like Dreamworks, Pixar is a good thing, I hope that Malaysians would go beyond the 'I can do it too' mentality, and adopt the 'I can do it better' mentality. To be recognized as a lead player in the any industry, being 'just as good as the next person' just won't cut it.

I can't wait to see this animation. It looks like, this 3D movie is better than the other movies that was shown before. Let's watch this movie and keep supporting our local movie!!!

guys --- movies and tv series are two different things. it is known that the first production will be 13 episodes of tv series ... and hopefully followed by a feature movie. the quality for tv series should not be expected to be that of a feature film.

the trailer is for feature movie and not for tv series -- so expect less.

routermen -- didnt u read the news? the 2 episodes are completed; the 11 remaining episodes by early next yr.

when will they release the 2 episodes ... dunno yet. i think the production is planning how to manage ppl expectation because they saw that trailer which was meant for movie which would be completely different when compared to tv series. .. i hope the tv series are best of its class (tv series class).

Sadly to inform you guys that the saladin animated series isn't done by Silver ant. Silver ant just do the "TRAILER" for the animated series. Yes, it is true and i saw the first two episodes of the series. Damn, it really sucks and i have no idea why do they ever bother to develop in the first place. How bad is the series, DAMN BAD. The characters aren't develop properly, no sense of color, and worst of all the characters is badly rig. Damn @#@$@#%%. However, animation wise is okay because they uses mocap.

It's a shame a certain animation studio thinks it's acceptable to set up in places like Malaysia and the Philippines and hire or "train" locals to produce their work for free. Especially when the studio is selling it's work in western countries. Hopefully in the future there will be more respect and better pay for the talented artists in these countries.

If Saladin is still alive , he would have wage war againts the production house, and won. Its an insult to Saladin's legacy i tell you. an Insult !

lets just hope "Upin dan Ipin" doesn't follow the same fate.

Malaysia BOLEH ? TAK BOLEH LAGI!
