THE CASE of DENGUE CAMPAIGN by MBAZZAKI MAYIMUNA a Di A COMPARISON OF ANIMATED AND HUMAN CHARACTER PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS: THE CASE OF DENGUE CAMPAIGN BY MBAZZAKI MAYIMUNA A dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Human Sciences (Communication) Kulliyyah of Islamic Revealed Knowledge and Human Sciences International Islamic University Malaysia OCTOBER 2011 ABSTRACT This experimental study investigates the effectiveness of using animated characters in a public service announcement (PSA) on preventing dengue. The study seeks to find the difference in recall of animated and human character PSAs. This research also intends to unveil the difference in recall of PSAs between the recency and control groups. Using a post-test - only control group design, the researcher randomly assigned a total of 80 young adults to three experimental groups which are, animated group (who watched animated PSA only), human character group (who watched human character PSA only), recency group (who watched animated PSA in the last order) and one control group (no treatment given). The independent t-test analysis demonstrates that there was a significant difference in recall of the animated and human character PSAs with the results indicating that there was better recall for the animated PSA than the human character PSA. Furthermore, the test generated significant results for the recency effect towards recall of PSA. There was better recall of the PSA for the recency group unlike the control group which performed poorly in recall of PSA content. Generally, the results in this study suggest that animated characters and recency effect may enhance recall of PSA content. The researcher concludes that PSAs designed in persuasive formats with animation may play a pivotal role in raising public awareness on important societal issues that affect them and other people around them, for example awareness on the global burden of dengue and how to prevent it. ii ﺧﻼﺻﺔ اﻟﺒﺤﺚ ﺗﻬﺪف هﺬ اﻟﺪراﺳﺔ اﻟﺘﺠﺮﻳﺒﻴﺔ إﻟﻰ اﻟﻜﺸﻒ ﻋﻦ ﻓﻌﺎﻟﻴﺔ اﺳﺘﺨﺪام اﻟﺮﺳﻮم اﻟﻜﺎرﺗﻮﻧﻴﺔ ﻓﻲ إﻋﻼﻧﺎت اﻟﺘﻮﻋﻴﺔ اﻟﻌﺎﻣﺔ (PSA) ﻓﻲ اﻟﻮﻗﺎﻳﺔ ﻣﻦ ﺣﻤﻰ اﻟﻀﻨﻚ، ﺣﻴﺚ ﺗﺴﻌﻰ اﻟﺪراﺳﺔ إﻟﻰ ﻣﻌﺮﻓﺔ اﻟﻔﺮق ﺑﻴﻦ اﺳﺘﺨﺪام اﻟﺮﺳﻮم اﻟﻜﺎرﺗﻮﻧﻴﺔ واﻟﺸﺨﺼﻴﺎت اﻟﺤﻘﻴﻘﻴﺔ وأﺛﺮ ذﻟﻚ ﻓﻲ اﺳﺘﺬآﺎر إﻋﻼﻧﺎت اﻟﺘﻮﻋﻴﺔ اﻟﻌﺎﻣﺔ، آﻤﺎ ﺗﻌﺘﺰم اﻟﻜﺸﻒ ﻋﻦ اﻟﻔﺮق ﺑﻴﻦ ﻣﺠﻤﻮﻋﺎت اﻟﺘﺄﺛﻴﺮ اﻷﺧﻴﺮ وﻣﺠﻤﻮﻋﺎت اﻟﻤﺮاﻗﺒﺔ ﻋﺒﺮ اﺳﺘﺨﺪام اﺧﺘﺒﺎر ﺗﺼﻤﻴﻢ ﻣﺠﻤﻮﻋﺔ اﻟﻤﺮاﻗﺒﺔ اﻟﻼﺣﻖ ﻓﻘﻂ. ﻟﻘﺪ ﻗﺎﻣﺖ اﻟﺒﺎﺣﺜﺔ ﺑﺎﺧﺘﻴﺎر 80 ﺷﺎﺑﺎ ﺑﺎﻟﻐﺎ ﺑﺸﻜﻞ ﻋﺸﻮاﺋﻲ وﻗﺎﻣﺖ ﺑﺘﻮزﻳﻌﻬﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺛﻼث ﻣﺠﻤﻮﻋﺎت ﺗﺠﺮﻳﺒﻴﺔ هﻲ: ﻣﺠﻤﻮﻋﺔ اﻟﺮﺳﻮم اﻟﻜﺎرﺗﻮﻧﻴﺔ (ﺷﺎهﺪوا إﻋﻼﻧﺎت ﺗﻮﻋﻴﺔ ﻋﺎﻣّﺔ ﺑﺮﺳﻮم آﺎرﺗﻮﻧﻴﺔ ﻓﻘﻂ)، وﻣﺠﻤﻮﻋﺔ اﻟﺸﺨﺼﻴﺎت اﻟﺤﻘﻴﻘﻴﺔ (ﺷﺎهﺪوا إﻋﻼﻧﺎت ﺗﻮﻋﻴﺔ ﻋﺎﻣّﺔ ﺑﺸﺨﺼﻴﺎت ﺣﻘﻴﻘﻴﺔ ﻓﻘﻂ)، وﻣﺠﻤﻮﻋﺔ اﻟﺘﺄﺛﻴﺮ اﻷﺧﻴﺮ (ﺁﺧﺮ ﺷﻲء ﺷﺎهﺪوﻩ هﻮ إﻋﻼﻧﺎت ﺗﻮﻋﻴﺔ ﻋﺎﻣّﺔ ﺑﺮﺳﻮم آﺎرﺗﻮﻧﻴﺔ)، ﻓﻀﻼ ﻋﻦ ﻣﺠﻤﻮﻋﺔ ﻣﺮاﻗﺒﺔ واﺣﺪة (ﻟﻢ ﺗﺸﺎهﺪ أي إﻋﻼن وﻟﻢ ﺗﺘﻠﻖّ أي ﻋﺮض ﻋﻦ اﻟﻤﻮﺿﻮع). إن ﺗﺤﻠﻴﻞ اﻻﺧﺘﺒﺎر اﻟﺜﻨﺎﺋﻲ اﻟﻤﺴﺘﻘﻞ (t-test) ﻳﻈﻬﺮ أن هﻨﺎك ﻓﺮﻗﺎ واﺿﺤﺎ وﻣﻤﻴﺰا ﻓﻲ اﻻﺳﺘﺪﻋﺎء اﻟﺬهﻨﻲ ﻹﻋﻼﻧﺎت اﻟﺘﻮﻋﻴﺔ اﻟﻌﺎﻣﺔ ﺑﺎﻟﺮﺳﻮم اﻟﻜﺎرﺗﻮﻧﻴﺔ وﺑﺎﻟﺸﺨﺼﻴﺎت اﻟﺤﻘﻴﻘﻴﺔ، ﺣﻴﺚ أﻇﻬﺮت اﻟﻨﺘﺎﺋﺞ اﺳﺘﺬآﺎرا أﻓﻀﻞ ﻹﻋﻼﻧﺎت اﻟﺘﻮﻋﻴﺔ اﻟﻌﺎﻣﺔ ﺑﺎﻟﺮﺳﻮم اﻟﻜﺎرﺗﻮﻧﻴﺔ ﻣﻦ ﻣﺜﻴﻼﺗﻬﺎ ﺑﺎﻟﺸﺨﺼﻴﺎت اﻟﺤﻘﻴﻘﻴﺔ، ﻋﻼوة ﻋﻠﻰ ذﻟﻚ ﻓﺈن اﻻﺧﺘﺒﺎر أﺳﻔﺮ ﻋﻦ ﻧﺘﺎﺋﺞ ﻣﺬهﻠﺔ ﻟﻠﺘﺄﺛﻴﺮات اﻷﺧﻴﺮة ﺗﺠﺎﻩ اﺳﺘﺬآﺎر إﻋﻼﻧﺎت اﻟﺘﻮﻋﻴﺔ اﻟﻌﺎﻣﺔ، ﻓﻘﺪ آﺎن اﺳﺘﺬآﺎر ﻣﺠﻤﻮﻋﺔ اﻟﺘﺄﺛﻴﺮ اﻷﺧﻴﺮ ﻹﻋﻼﻧﺎت اﻟﺘﻮﻋﻴﺔ اﻟﻌﺎﻣﺔ أﻓﻀﻞ ﺑﻜﺜﻴﺮ ﻣﻦ ﻣﺠﻤﻮﻋﺔ اﻟﻤﺮاﻗﺒﺔ اﻟﺘﻲ آﺎن اﺳﺘﺬآﺎرهﺎ ﻟﻤﺤﺘﻮﻳﺎت إﻋﻼﻧﺎت اﻟﺘﻮﻋﻴﺔ اﻟﻌﺎﻣﺔ ﺿﻌﻴﻔﺎ ﺟﺪا، وﺑﺸﻜﻞ ﻋ ﺎ مّ ﻓﺈن اﻟﻨﺘﺎﺋﺞ ﻓﻲ هﺬﻩ اﻟﺪراﺳﺔ ﺗﺮى أن إﻋﻼﻧﺎت اﻟﺘﻮﻋﻴﺔ اﻟﻌﺎﻣﺔ ﺑﺎﻟﺮﺳﻮم اﻟﻜﺎرﺗﻮﻧﻴﺔ وﻋﺎﻣﻞ اﻟﺘﺄﺛﻴﺮ اﻷﺧﻴﺮ ﻳﻤﻜﻨﻬﻤﺎ ﺗﺤﺴﻴﻦ اﺳﺘﺬآﺎر ﻣﺤﺘﻮﻳﺎت ﺗﻠﻚ اﻹﻋﻼﻧﺎت، وﻗﺪ ﺧﻠﺼﺖ اﻟﺒﺎﺣﺜﺔ إﻟﻰ أن إﻋﻼﻧﺎت اﻟﺘﻮﻋﻴﺔ اﻟﻌﺎﻣﺔ ﺑﺎﻟﺮﺳﻮم اﻟﻜﺎرﺗﻮﻧﻴﺔ اﻟﻤﺼﺼﻤﺔ ﺑﻄﺮﻳﻘﺔ ﻣﻘﻨﻌﺔ ﻳﻤﻜﻦ أن ﺗﻠﻌﺐ دورا ﻣﺤﻮرﻳﺎ ﻓﻲ زﻳﺎدة اﻟﻮﻋﻲ اﻟﻌﺎمّ ﺑﺎﻟﻘﻀﺎﻳﺎ اﻻﺟﺘﻤﺎﻋﻴﺔ اﻟﻬﺎﻣّﺔ اﻟﺘﻲ ﺗﺆﺛّﺮ ﻋﻠﻰ اﻟﻨﺎس وﻋﻠﻰ اﻷﺷﺨﺎص اﻟﻤﺤﻴﻄﻴﻦ ﺑﻬﻢ، وﻋﻠﻰ ﺳﺒﻴﻞ اﻟﻤﺜﺎل اﻟﻮﻋﻲ ﺑﺎﻟﻌﺐء اﻟﻌﺎﻟﻤﻲ ﺑﺤﻤﻰ اﻟﻀﻨﻚ وآﻴﻔﻴﺔ اﻟﻮﻗﺎﻳﺔ ﻣﻨﻬﺎ. iii APPROVAL PAGE I certify that I have supervised and read this study and that in my opinion it conforms to acceptable standards of scholarly presentation and is fully adequate, in scope and quality, as a dissertation for the degree of Master of Human Sciences (Communication). ………………………………..

  • Upin & Ipin: Promoting Malaysian Culture Values Through Animation
    Upin & Ipin: Promoting malaysian culture values through animation Dahlan Bin Abdul Ghani Universiti Kuala Lumpur [email protected] Recibido: 20 de enero de 2015 Aceptado: 12 de febrero de 2015 Abstract Malaysian children lately have been exposed or influenced heavily by digital media entertainment. The rise of such entertainment tends to drive them away from understanding and appreciating the values of Malaysian culture. Upin and Ipin animation has successfully promoted Malaysian folklore culture and has significantly portrayed the art of Malaysian values including Islamic values by providing the platform for harmonious relationship among different societies or groups or religious backgrounds. The focus of this research is to look into the usage of Malaysian culture iconic visual styles such as backgrounds, lifestyles, character archetypes and narrative (storytelling). Therefore, we hope that this research will benefit the younger generation by highlighting the meaning and importance of implicit Malaysian culture. Key words: Upin and Ipin; animation; narrative; folklore; culture; character archetypes. Upin e Ipin: promoviendo la cultura malasia a través de los valores de la animación Resumen Recientemente los niños en Malasia están siendo fuertemente expuestos cuando no influenciados por los medios masivos de entretenimiento digital. Esto les lleva una falta de comprensión y apreciación de la importancia de los valores de su propia cultura. La serie de animación propia Upin & Ipin ha promovido con éxito las diferentes culturas de Malasia y obtenido valores culturales significativos que representan a su arte, incluyendo el islámico, y proporcionando así una plataforma de relación armónica entre los diferentes grupos que componen la sociedad en Malasia, ya sea civil o religiosa.

  • International Journal of Creative Multimedia
    International Journal of Creative Multimedia Promoting Positive Values While Emphasising on Aesthetical Perspectives in University Students through Adaptation of Knowles Seven Step Process of Andragogical Approach Juhanita Jiman [email protected] University Malaysia of Computer Science and Engineering (UNIMY) Abstract This paper intends to illustrate how Knowles’ seven step process of androgogical approach can help educators to better facilitate animation students with acquired technological knowledge and skills while exposing them to critical aesthetical elements and ethical principles. It is important for educators to understand that they are dealing with young adults who are highly affected by their environments in this borderless world. Therefore, educators are responsible for more than just academics; they also have social roles. To resolve these concerns, an effective androgogical approach can be advantageous for both educators and students. We used to assume that teaching pedagogy was necessary at all levels of education; however, since university students are no longer children, pedagogical methods are not entirely relevant to them. Pedagogy is a teaching method that focuses on children, while andragogy is a teaching approach that focuses on adults and helps them learn more effectively. When people grow older, they become more self- reliant and accountable for their actions. The pedagogical model, in several ways, fails to take care for such developmental shifts, resulting in individual stress, frustration, and resistance. Due to the rapid development in technology, animation students have become highly aggressive in their pursuit of technological expertise, leading them to ignore and overlook the importance of a story's core values. As educators, we must not only help them achieve their goals in terms of technical abilities, and professional experience, but also teach them what is right and wrong, and inspire them to instil moral principles in their work.

  • Cultural Inspirations Towards Malaysian Animation Character Design
    Jurnal Komunikasi Malaysian Journal of Communication Jilid 33(1) 2017: 487-501 Cultural Inspirations towards Malaysian Animation Character Design FARYNA MOHD KHALIS NORMAH MUSTAFFA Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Culture is part of human development which evolves with civilization from ancient times to today’s digital era. Animation contributes to the cultural industry through signs and symbols and is captured from people’s different lifestyle and various grounds including religion, belief systems, politics, tradition, language, tools, costumes, buildings and arts. Wayang Kulit or ‘Shadow Play’ was once a famed traditional culture in the 1960s for entertainment purposes in Malaysia which fundamentally led to the continuation of the 2D and 3D animation studies. Nevertheless, students these days seem lack the sense of local identity as shown in their final animation project, as if the culture sentiment is getting faded. Since culture is also emerging with an identity where both fundamentals are strongly connected, this research aims to identify the influence of culture towards artwork, produced by art and design students who study animation. Content analysis was used to analyze the complete final artwork from selected university in Sarawak which offers this subject as a requirement. Besides a good storyline, animation must have a strong character design with a good personality, appropriate costumes and accessories. Results found that there are cultural influences where the character’s costume design is similar to the Sarawak traditional clothing. Thus, it proves that Malaysian culture is still sturdily inspiring students in creating their artwork. Keywords: Tradition, culture, identity, cartoon, character.

  • Vol.6, 2011 14
    Animation Studies – Vol.6, 2011 Hannes Rall Tradigital Mythmaking New Asian Design Ideas for Animation Introduction “Tradigital Mythmaking” might seem to be an unusual venture at first - a German animator and animation scholar working with young Asian artists to create new concepts for animation that are based on Asian mythologies and artistic traditions. An excursion into my own artistic and research background will establish the project in a wider context and explain its motivation. My own past and ongoing work has largely been defined by the search for a very personal and genuinely German style of animation. I came to Singapore in 2005 to teach animation at the new School of Art, Design and Media at Nanyang Technological University. The multi-cultural society of Singapore offers a beautiful kaleidoscope of the rich traditions of the regional arts - of course, prominently Chinese art, but also Indian, Malay, Indonesian and Philippine art-styles. I found that this wonderful diversity was not yet reflected in animation. My local students seemed to look primarily elsewhere for inspiration: they were mainly influenced by manga and anime and also tended to copy the design style of the Hollywood feature animation as established by Pixar, Dreamworks and Blue Sky Studios. My initial impressions and findings were supported by scholarly research in the field. According to Engel (2009), “Very often, there is a reliance on derivative concepts in character design and storytelling. The Japanese anime-style and the American school of caricatured realism are used as templates to ensure commercial success. While the commercial prospects of such an approach are questionable, it obviously prevents full artistic success.

  • Digital Puppetry of Wayang Kulit Kelantan: a Study of Its Visual Aesthetics
    DIGITAL PUPPETRY OF WAYANG KULIT KELANTAN: A STUDY OF ITS VISUAL AESTHETICS KHOR KHENG KIA THESIS SUBMITTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY CULTURAL CENTRE UNIVERSITY OF MALAYA KUALA LUMPUR 2014 ABSTRACT Wayang kulit Kelantan, a form of traditional shadow puppet theatre in Malaysia, is threatened with imminent extinction yet no significant attempts were made to preserve this cultural heritage. It is clear that with the current situation in Malaysia and the level of official support, wayang kulit Kelantan is unlikely to last long. Several researchers have suggested that traditional wayang kulit Kelantan to be digitalised into digital media so that it could be watched on the media screen in order to provide greater accessibility and flexibility. The digital puppetry of traditional wayang kulit Kelantan is very helpful in promoting this art form and also indirectly by preserving it via alternative media. This study aims to examine the possibilities and probe potentials of using Computer Graphics (CG) and modern technology to preserve the visual aesthetics of traditional wayang kulit Kelantan. The coverage of the study consists of three major aspects, namely: (i) the visual aesthetics of traditional wayang kulit Kelantan, (ii) Computer Graphics (CG)/ motion capture and (iii) digital puppetry. This study provides in-depth information and explanations on two major aspects. The first aspect is the identification and description of the facets of the visual aesthetics of traditional wayang kulit Kelantan; emphasizing its principal puppet designs and shadow images. The second aspect is the use of modern technology and CG to capture these facets into digital media.

  • From Mousedeer to Mouse: Malaysian Animation at the Crossroads
    From Mousedeer to Mouse: Malaysian Animation at the Crossroads Hassan Abdul Muthalib Since long-form animation began commercially in 1995, there has been an unprecedented production of animation for television and cinema. However, Malaysian animation is at the crossroads. Even though foreign sales have been made, it is not cost-effective for producers to continue making animation. The problem is further compounded with the large number of graduates entering the industry. What needs to be done so that Malaysia will not lose out in the production of animation films and TV series featuring local stories and characters that can effectively reach out to young people, and at the same time, be able to appeal to a global audience? I hope that we never lose sight of one thing: that it all started with a mouse. Walt Disney Introduction Malaysia's first animated television series was screened in 1995. In less than ten years, the industry has produced numerous ongoing animated TV series, feature films and telemovies. This is an unprecedented feat among the ASEAN countries, considering that Malaysia does not have established studios as in the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia. Though these countries offer animation services to foreign studios, none of them have their own ongoing feature films or TV series. It would seem, then, that the Malaysian long-form animation industry is on the threshold of greater things to come. However, the general consensus among producers and practitioners is that the industry is not headed anywhere. Breaking into the global market is the possible answer, but this is easier said than done.
