  • Developing a Strategy to Encourage the Animation Industry Life Cycle Evolution in Saudi Arabia
    Developing A Strategy To Encourage The Animation Industry Life Cycle Evolution In Saudi Arabia By Ohud Alharbi Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervised by: Dr. Emily Baines Ms. Janet Choo Faculty of Art, Design and Humanities De Montfort University July 2017 I Abstract This thesis examines the Saudi animation industry and investigates the barriers that are preventing the development of its life cycle. Although there has been a demand for animation content since the establishment of the Saudi TV in 1965, the Saudi animation industry remains in its Introduction stage. Therefore, the study undertakes an analysis of the factors that could enable the industry to move to its Growth stage. To achieve this, the study attempts to establish an understanding of how different countries succeeded in developing their animation industry life cycle. Therefore, the study selects three countries as a qualitative multiple case study. These countries are the UK, which represents a Mature animation industry; Egypt, which represents an established Growth industry; while the United Arab of Emirates represents an emerging Growth industry. This has involved an in-depth analysis of the animation industries in Saudi Arabia and two other Arabian countries – UAE and Egypt – as well as of the UK. There has been very limited historiography for Arabian animation and almost none on the Saudi Arabian industry previously. A consideration of which factors should be investigated, as the most effective in influencing the evolution of the industry, was undertaken. Reviewing the available literature on the animation industry development showed that four factors have been found to play a considerable role in developing the local animation industry: Higher II Education institutions, Networks, Government and Location.

  • Transcoding Nang Talung: an Animated Adaptation of Thai Shadow Play
    Transcoding Nang Talung: An Animated Adaptation of Thai Shadow Play Chanya Hetayothin King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, Faculty of Architecture, Bangkok, Thailand [email protected] Abstract Nang Talung performance even though only few This article explores an animated adaptation from a cultural characters persist nowadays. The most-seen clown heritage source. It discusses the source, approaches and characters in modern performance are Nunui and Ai technical aspects in my animation – NUNUI (2013). Nang Theng. Talung, the southern Thai shadow play, offers unique, simple characteristics as a creative resource for Thai animation. The puppet uses jointed parts, which can be animated separately. This study aims to synthesize the ancient and modern by integrating Nang Talung folk puppetry with contemporary animation. Following the original source, most of Nang Talung animated adaptations relies on conventional stories, plots and the use of dialogues as shown in original performance. I argue that not only similarities, but also differences, are important for the dialogue between the two art forms. This study allows animators to open to change and embrace the other creative possibilities that ‘new’ media enable. It also offers an animator the opportunity to experiment with Nang Talung puppet’s movement and to expand its limitations with computer graphics (CG). Keywords Fig 1. A collection of folk puppets at Suchart Sapsin museum Nang Talung, shadow puppets, animation, animated adaptation. in Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand. (Source: compiled by this study). Introduction Thai animators are searching for distinctiveness in their work. This study employs Nang Talung, the southern Thai shadow puppetry, as a source for animation.

Welcome On behalf of the Vice Chancellor, I’m delighted to welcome all ‘Beyond the Frame’ conference delegates to Canterbury Christ Church University, hosted by the School of Media, Art & Design (Faculty of Arts & Humanities). The Faculty combines excellence in research and teaching and learning: all programmes of study are research led, focused on employability and student oriented. Colleagues from across the Faculty contributed to the REF 2014 with 90% of the Faculty’s research recognised as world leading or internationally significant. For the School of Media, Art & Design, these teaching and learning and research contexts literally have animation at the heart of their ‘storyboards’ (no pun intended). The School brings industry and academia together to teach, to learn and to research the various forms of animation, producing graduates who have equal facility in practice and scholarship. I wish the conference every success over its three days as it grapples animatedly with the practice-scholarship nexus in animation. Dr Keith McLay Dean of the Faculty of Arts & Humanities President’s Address Welcome to the 2015 Society for Animation Studies Conference. This years’ conference, in beautiful, historic Canterbury sees us back in the UK after five years and we are lucky to be in such a wonderful setting with great links to local institutions, all key areas of animation education in the UK.
