ABMAnuod tayo ng bago

ABMAnuod tayo ng bago is a artist talk meant for students who aims to be a great animator and film director someday. (I apologize for not documenting the first part of the talk because I wasn’t able to attend it due to our class at that time)

The first part of the seminar was performed by a Great Filipino animator Tito Romero. It is nice to have in APC. I must confess that I underestimate our Filipino animations, because the frames in every sequence are very poor and it seems too old and I can’t deny the feeling of conviction and guiltiness, to think that I am a Filipino and I don’t support our Filipino artists when it comes to animation and film production, but as what I have heard from Mr. Romero, Filipino animators uses the traditional way of animation that is why their works looks like that. He also stated some backgrounds on how animation started and how animation works before and how animation industries have improved well due to the help of technology. Tito Romero said that there are two types of animation, The Traditional animation and the Computer Generated Animation. When it comes to the quality if the produced animation, animations made by Computers are way better that the traditional ones and I don’t really get it at first when Tito Romero said that he prefers to do his animations using the Traditional style, maybe because he is still preserving the Filipino quality of animations. In the end of his talk, he introduced us to the new generation of Filipino Animations and I could say that the animations I Filipino has improved a lot.

On the last part of the seminar, a professor showcased the music videos made by the APC students.  I am impressed how students manage to do that, so I guess Filipino films will be known someday because of the graduating students from Asia pacific college.
