Years and years of hard work, patience, staying power, blood, sweat and tears finally bore fruit. An opportunity to transit to mainstream feature film animation! A Dream come true! \u263a<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the final year exhibition, the Animation Department of Lasalle College of the Arts, Singapore hosted HR heads from various studios at the exhibition space on Campus (this was primarily to butter them up for placements \ud83d\ude09 \u00a0) Ahem..Anyway, moving on, I was chatting with colleagues and faculty with a beer and a pizza slice when I felt a tap on my shoulder. \u00a0It turned out to be one of my classmates from China, letting me know that someone wanted to meet me and was standing by my screen (we had screens displaying our work).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To my delight, it was the then Vice President of Infinite Frameworks studios, (now Infinite Studios) Singapore and Indonesia. In the very pleasant chat that followed, he said he liked my work and that ifw (infinite frameworks) was hiring interns for a Japanese animation feature and that I should apply. Needless to say, I wasted no time \u263a. Post an animation test, a telecon and an interview at a coffee shop, I found an offer letter in my email inbox stating that I was hired as a junior animator! This was my \u2018Chandler moment\u2019! (Those who have seen the episode from \u2018FRIENDS\u2019 will know what I am referring to \ud83d\ude09 ) In no time, I was on my way to the island of Batam in Indonesia! The animation studio was based there at Nongsa Riau, whilst the Head Office was based in Singapore. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-171\" src=\"https:\/\/rippleanimation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/02-1.jpg\" alt=\"animation for business\" width=\"220\" height=\"314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rippleanimation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/02-1.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.rippleanimation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/02-1-210x300.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 220px) 100vw, 220px\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-173\" src=\"https:\/\/rippleanimation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/03-1.jpg\" alt=\"video production company in india\" width=\"480\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rippleanimation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/03-1.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.rippleanimation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/03-1-300x229.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">C h a p t e r 1 : Y o s h i h i r o \u00a0T a t s u m i \u00a0S e n s e i<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The late Yoshihiro Tatsumi, traditionally a \u2018manga\u2019 (Japanese comic style) artist, is revered as a legend in Japan. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He began his work as a comic artist in post-war occupied Japan, met his idol\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Osamu Tezuka<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and invented the \u2018Gekiga\u2019\u00a0genre of Japanese comics for adults. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His life\u2019s work, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drifting Life,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> received the Eisner award for excellence apart from other accolades. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"aligncenter\">\n<div class=\"aligncenter\">\n<div class=\"aligncenter\">\n<div class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-222\" src=\"https:\/\/rippleanimation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/123456.png\" alt=\"video production company in mumbai\" width=\"535\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rippleanimation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/123456.png 535w, https:\/\/www.rippleanimation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/123456-300x204.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 535px) 100vw, 535px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was a long cherished dream of his that \u2018Drifting Life\u2019 be made into an animated feature film. Interweaved with the biographical material are segments based on Tatsumi Sensei&#8217;s short stories &#8220;Hell&#8221;, &#8220;Beloved Monkey&#8221;, &#8220;Just a Man&#8221;, &#8220;Good-Bye&#8221; and &#8220;Occupied&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sensei was ailing from cancer at this juncture. Eric Khoo, a Singapore based film director felt inspired, personally met Sensei and took it upon himself to create and offer the feature as a tribute to Sensei and his work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">C h a p t e r \u00a0 2 : \u00a0 D e v e l o p m e n t<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The production was led by Eric Khoo&#8217;s Singaporean company Zhao Wei Films. The visual style and storyboards of the film were created using Sensei\u2019s original drawings as reference. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tatsumi Sensei loved cinema, and he created this new movement of comics using strips with real characters, rather than the four-panel manga convention. Thus he produced works that resembled storyboards for a film. The challenge lay in transcending them out to a widescreen format thereby giving them multi-planes, like layers, to create a feeling of depth and feel. And so it was, that for the cinema, his stories got a new voice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each story was so powerfully captivating and moving, and I am sure I speak for my fellow artists as well, that we all felt as if Sensei, through his work, was taking us on a walk through of his life; a life that we were bringing\u00a0to life for the screen. The very thought of it gives me goosebumps, even today!<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-186\" src=\"https:\/\/rippleanimation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/06-2.jpg\" alt=\"video production company in india\" width=\"510\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rippleanimation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/06-2.jpg 872w, https:\/\/www.rippleanimation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/06-2-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"aligncenter\">\n<div class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-191\" src=\"https:\/\/rippleanimation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/07-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"519\" height=\"292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rippleanimation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/07-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.rippleanimation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/07-1-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 519px) 100vw, 519px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-193\" src=\"https:\/\/rippleanimation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/08-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"516\" height=\"292\" \/><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-196\" src=\"https:\/\/rippleanimation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/09-1-1024x556.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"282\" \/><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-198\" src=\"https:\/\/rippleanimation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/10-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"511\" height=\"287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rippleanimation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/10-1.jpg 477w, https:\/\/www.rippleanimation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/10-1-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 511px) 100vw, 511px\" \/><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=doIaY-iGGGs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=doIaY-iGGGs<\/a> For your viewing pleasure, Tatsumi the making!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">C h a p t e r 3 : C a s t \u00a0a n d \u00a0C r e w<\/h3>\n<div class=\"aligncenter\">\n<p>Tatsumi Sensei was himself involved in the project and oversaw details to ensure authenticity, as well as provided the narration for the biographical segments.
