On British Animation Festival:

Singaporean animators certainly have a long way to go. The disparity between the student works from the two countries is quite evident. However, it is encouraging to see students here embarking on such an art form with such gusto. One can only hope more will attempt different forms of animations in the future once they are more comfortable in this genre. No doubt animations are moving into more computer oriented premises. And it would also be much easier and less time consuming for students here to stick to the computer animations. But i felt that other methods should also be explored. The ideas and the method of expression is generally quite raw over here (with the exception of perhaps computer renderings) but this is afterall relatively new in Singapore. So i will be looking forward to better animations in the future because the potential is certainly there.
