From Mouse Deer To Mouse - 70 Years of Malaysian Animation

Transformers was made in Malaysia ! A fact taken from the book From Mouse Deer To Mouse - 70 Years of Malaysian Animation (ISBN 978-983-2538-33-2) and was written by Hassan Abd. Muthalib. This is the first publication to document Malaysia's animation history.

The book starts of with some detailing on world animation history and the animation techniques used in the past and present. It then goes on with Malaysia's animation history. A lot of the early parts were about Filem Negara Malaysia (now Finas PJ), the only place animation can be produce then.

The book then goes on to tell about the people and companies that has been part of Malaysia animation industry up till today. I like the fact that the writer uses a first person style of writing, making it sound personal.

Hassan took 10 years to write this book - alone. It involves 'enormous amount of research' but he admits 'some did not respond to my (his) queries or request.' Higher learning institution, universities, libraries and schools should each have a copy of this. A good reference for education.

This 293 pages, hard cover book is being sold at RM120 each. There's only 1000 copies and every

Seni Lukis Dan Seni Reka | Adakah Saya Berminat ? | Tips Bagi Lepasan SPM

Adakah anda mempunyai sketchbook secara terurus?
Anda mempunyai webpage / deviantart / behance account?
Melukis itu menggembirakan anda?

Jawapan yang positif bagi soalan tersebut menunjukkan minat anda.

Saya, sejak setahun lepas, berpeluang menemuduga calon-calon pelajar yang ingin meneruskan pembelajaran dalam bidang animasi (cabang senilukis dan seni reka - art & design.) Saya dapati ada ramai pelajar lepasan SPM yang tidak berminat dan tidak pernah melukis (secara konsisten atau secara hobi) namun ingin meneruskan dalam bidang art & design - hanya kerana tiada pilihan lain. Dan hanya kerana ingin ke universiti. Jangan. Nasihat saya jangan. You'll be wasting your time.
