KUALA LUMPUR: A team of two to three students from 10 chosen schools from Selangor, Pahang, Sabah, Perak, Johor and Kuala Lumpur will attend an animation workshop, organised by the Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) and Disney Channels Southeast Asia.
MDeC, the guardian of the MSC Malaysia initiative, are in the process of working with the education departments of the respective states to identify the schools.
After the schools are identified, the school teachers will then identify the students who will take part in the workshop.
During the five-day workshop, the students age 10 to 14, will get to use animation software to create a two-minute clip based on their own “alien encounter,” inspired by Stitch, the Disney character from the 2002 movie.
MDeC would not reveal the animation software titles to be used but said that it would be of professional standard.
The workshops will be conducted by MDeC staff and local animation talents.
Saifol Bahri, MDeC industry development division vice-president said the workshop will give students the opportunity to learn 2D animation and the basic techniques of creating an animation clip.
“It’s a great opportunity for students to show of their creativity,” he said.
Six clips will enter the finals, and the winning clip will be shown on the Astro Disney Channel. The winner will also win a trip to Disneyland Hong Kong. The workshops will take place from January to June next year.
