HISTORY

In recent years, the Philippines has been the

subject of attention of many well-known
international animation studios. This is not to say
that we are a new player in the animation industry.
Animation in the Philippines has been around
since the 1950s through animated advertisements
until in 1979, a 60-minute animated feature was
produced based on a local folklore called “The
Adventure of Lam-Ang”. In 1983, Burbank Studios
of Australia was the first to sub-contract animation
production in the Philippines, setting up its studio in
Manila. The prospects and potentials for Filipino
animators has been established since then.
HISTORY

Nowadays, more than ever, with the

help of technology, animation has never
been more promising to our Filipino
animators. The rise and expansion of the
BPO industry has been a significant factor
in the demand for animation professionals
in our country.
QUESTION:
What does it really take to succeed as
an animator whether you decide to work
for a company or start a company of your
own?
