These are the films made by children with themes ranging from short stories, deforestation, global warming, water conservation to environmental pollution figure
The story, screenplay, direction, layout, animation and storyboard of the films, each lasting one minute, had been done solely by the children. The technical support was provided by noted caricaturist Banerjee and animator Deepak Raju of Vismayas Max.
Renowned actor Mohanlal's Thrivandrum-based Vismayas Max Animation Academy and Studios is conducting a 45-day summer camp for children under the age of 15 years. The participants are being trained in the basics of 2D classical animation besides being briefed on 3D animation. Nine children, who have been specially selected are working on short films with the help of professional animators. The camp was inaugurated on April 16, 2008 by leading South Indian actor Bharath Suresh Gopi.
The style and approach adopted by the children surprised the experts in the field, according to academy director K.D. Shibhu.
Given the enthusiasm of the kids, Vismayas Max plans to involve them in their own production activities including dubbing and conception of new projects.
All the eight films will be marketed internationally. Mr. Mohanal will inaugurate the first screening of the films in June.
The animation academy has also plans to introduce the films in CDs.
