APEX101 ANIMATION WORKS:::

Notwithstanding with the economic crisis that we are experiencing now a days, the animation industry is pushing its project to help the aspiring artists to join in the international animation outfit in abroad. Numerous independent groups of animators are also erecting their own events to showcase some of their works and inviting prospective advertisers and some of the luminaries from the political turf to support their craft.

It is extremely transparent that filipinos are world class animators and artists, some of these artists work before in the big animation studio in abroad. Because of the increasing demand in the global outsourcing, more artist bite the offer to render their service there in abroad and for the long time they work there as an animators and artists, they were able to stamped their names in the international animation wall street.

There are two animation movies that will be shown this year (2008) the Urduja of the GMA network (correct me if I am wrong) and DAYO animation. Both of these films were originally created by filipino artists and animators. With these projects, expect that the animation industry here in the philippines will have an impinge of changes and will escalate improvements of statistics in the human index in the manpower context.

As of this writing, there were also groups of animators here in Western visayas that are honing there skills to unveil their craft, these are the APEX101 Animation Works, Montogawe Animadic and the Dimbox.The Montogawe Animadic, created the very first animated town history of Mina and it was shown last decemeber 2007 to the Mina Gym. More animation projects will come soon this year 2008!!!!
