Artist Talk

Usually artist have their own art style but it not bad to get ideas from other artist as long as you’re doing it in your own style. (To avoid plagiarism).

One of the College’s week program is the Artist Talk featuring film and animation. The beginner animators and film makers show their works in “ABMA nood tayo” after that is a speech delivered by a well-known animator, Tito Romero.

When it comes to film. It was good actually is impressive. They showed me another genre which suits with our generation. I think APC students aim to be unique.

Animation?

I’m not into this but know someone (actually he is my friend) who is into this. Sad to say his not present on the artist talk. Well at first I don’t get it why he likes animation, for me it’s too difficult.

And “yes, it is” that’s what they said. Although I’m not into animation I still appreciate their works because, with my stock knowledge, I think I can’t be as good as them. Besides, I’m not in the position to bash their works because I know nothing about the struggles they faced just to make it.

To be honest, I just heard a half of Tito Romero’s speech because I was late. But then I was amazed by his accomplishments considering that he took different course from animation. He has this passion and advocacy to bring the Philippine animation industry, to the next level, where Filipinos can be globally competitive. I think this is one of a good reason why we have to support animation industry here in the Philippines.

While looking on western animation pictures, my friend once said “ Balang araw, gagawa rin ako niyan.”

I smiled...

And told to myself

 “I can’t wait for that time :)...”
