Animation and gaming firm PUNX Studios has announced the launch of their funding campaign to bring their AI-enabled animated series, "333: The Rise of Heroes," to life.
Eleven Philippine animation studios generated initial sales of $29 million at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival and Market held in France from June 11 to June 17.
Visayas-based Cebuanimation Network has been chosen as one of the five cooperatives that will receive funding grants from the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
Creative industry leaders in the Philippines are suggesting the use of technology in animation and virtual production as a means of shooting movies and producing content in the “new normal”.
Established by France?s Annecy International Animation Film Festival and the Annecy International Animation Film Market (MIFA), Animation du Monde is currently being held at the Alliance Francaise de Manille in Makati City until February 22.
Most studios are small and medium-scale enterprises and provide employment for 10,000 to 12,000 animators, including indirect workers and suppliers, who have been keeping the industry on the global map for years.
