Animated Film - Andong Agimat: Kanya ang Kalye

As a graphic novelist, I've always been frustrated with the limitations of the static comic book page. I wanted to see my drawings in motion and have the luxury to set them to sound and particularly music. Armed with experience from the many flip books I made as a kid, I managed to make my very first animated film, Andong Agimat: Kanya ang Kalye ("The Streets are His").. It's only 4 minutes long but it took around two weeks to make. I really had fun working on this and I hope you'll enjoy watching it. :)

*Andong Agimat is a character from my graphic novel Ang Mundo ni Andong Agimat (http://arnold-arre.com/ang-mundo-ni-andong-agimat/). He is a Pinoy superhero I created who wears a talisman that makes him invulnerable.

hi ask ko lng po kng my maisa-suggest kaung os or anything pra makagawa ng 3D animation. Thanks :) !!

for school project po kse.

@jessettic Hi, I don't do 3D animation, sorry, but there are a lot of tutorials here on Youtube. :) Right now I'm focusing on 2D.

[emersonsy21]

another question sir, do you have tutorials on how make this? medyo fascinated talaga ako kung paano nio nagawa yung animation nito sa sony vegas. :D

[arnoldarrefilms]

@emersonsy21 I'm using Vegas Pro 10. As for how I made it, it works pretty much like when you're editing video footage or are doing multiple layers with text graphics except that this time, you're working with jpegs of illustrations. I'd love to do a tutorial when my load lightens up. (Right now there are just too many things that need to be done!) Thanks for the note. :)

Ah I love the fact that Andong Agimat wears, like any other old school Pinoy man on the street, those freebie shirts that features shops/products (sometimes tshirts also feature local politicos). I have an uncle who never fails to wear those kind of shirts, prominently advertising Baygon and other pesticide brands. And the taho guy getting rid of the water at the start is so simple yet really makes you feel that this is set in the Philippines. Also love the sketchy backgrounds. Well done!

@kinamotengkahoy Thanks so much for your feedback! Yeah there are so many things that are very "Pinoy" that I want to feature in future animations/stories. I'm glad you noticed the little details. :)

I loved it! lahat mukhang pinoy. yung ibang animated films kasi hindi mukhang pinoy mukhang japanese. Pati makikita mo yung culture ng pinoy sa kalsada... thanks for sharing your video:)
