Miyavi - Survive

The Rapture - House of the Jealous Lover

Love the music. Miyavi a Japanese Rock band with the punk emo style. Actually I don't really know this band, just found it on www.jpopasia.com. But this band looks promising, maybe it's famous in Japan.
After I heard several times, this music reminds me with the Electronic Dance punk group from New York, The Raptures. To me the music is almost looks the same. I put the other video for comparison. Which one do you think is better?

Gatchaman The 3D Movie Trailer And the Shut Down of Imagi Animation Studio

I feel so excited when I watched this Trailer. One of the coolest character from Tatsunoko Production.
Introducing Gatchaman a.k.a G.Force (Battle of The Planets), maybe some of you already knew this anime series back in the late 80's. The story is about 5 teenagers whose been train to become the science ninja team who battle against Galactor an evil terrorist organization.

The production is handled by Imagi Animation Studio, same studio who created the TMNT and Astroboy the Movie. Recent news I heard was they have a financial problem and right now been officially shut down. The TMNT was a flop ($54 million in theaters) same goes to Astroboy (making only $19.5 million the end in the US on a $65 million budget). I guess that was the end of their journey. However, it is mentioned that they "will continue to develop movie ideas and outsource the actual animation work to mainland China and other countries, where costs are lower."

Hopefully that was not only a rumor and they still keep continuing this Gatchaman movie. By the look of the trailer this movie looks promising. I personally feel so sad when I heard this news because I like Astroboy and I like their 3D style, actually it's not really incredible compare to pixar but they have an unique style which is different from other 3D movie. Dreamworks, why not you buy this studio and continue produce a good quality 3D Movie :P

The War of Evalion

Main Character: Tere Labraroth (Indigo) with his Devil possessed Kirinarat

I love comic. I always want to create comic. But in the end, I never been able to finish the project :( This is one of the comic that I try to create back when I really been inspired by the Legendary comic Berserk.

This is the story about the war between 5 races : Human, Demon, Elf, Sluth and Indigo (main character: Half-breed).

Human is the highest among the other 4 races because of their Intelligence, they are the king who rule the world. Demon is the human servant, he is loyal, handsome and have the highest strength among other races.

One day The king, which is human, fell in love with Sluth. Sluth have the most beautiful physical appearance than other races, even the Demon fell in love with Sluth. The love triangle begun.

But since demon is only the servant of human, he let the king married with Sluth.
Because the effect of marriage between other races, The king lost 70% of their intelligence and Sluth more and more become ugly.

In the end, The king become disgust with Sluth and put her into the isolated room. Even though Sluth become ugly, the demon still love her. The king tried to kill Sluth by giving a poison in her meal and she died. This incident was heard by the demon and he become really angry with human. And the war begun...

Artbook Review 3.0: Shrek Art of the Quest

Since Shrek4: Forever After has just come out in the cinema (which I think is a pretty decent movie compare to the other 3 series, the second one is the best), I decide to review the artbook of Shrek Art of the Quest.

I'm really happy when I brought this book because it's 50% discount! plus this book is actually pretty rare to find.

Shrek Art of the Quest is the compilation of the 3 series artwork of the movie. The 4th movie edition artbook has been out in general bookstore. The book is covered in a box with the hard cover inside, you can feel the exclusiveness of this artbook.

The background and the character development have the balance portion and it all comes with a good quality artworks. There's also a lot of funny stuff that is not shown on the movie which make you giggle when you read it. It just to bad the narration is like a bedtime story, I'm quiet lazy to read it, maybe it just me lol.

The best part of this book is, they put a lot of attention in the layout that is designed in a storybook look and feel, I think this book has the best layout from any other artbook that I have. And also a lot of extra stuff like booklet and sticker scattered in this 150 pages book.

Overall, this book is fun! and it has a very good design in whole aspects, the bad is (my opinion) the information of the making is kinda boring and the pages which is to short. (Rating: 8,8/10)

There's still some of this book sell in Basheer Bras Basah, Singapore and it's still discound. Hurry up before it sold out.

Welcome to Rainbow

Welcome to Rainbow family! Right now I want to discuss about the company that I'm working in ( since a lot of my friend is unfamilliar with Rainbow media).
Rainbowmedia is the subsidiary of the Rainbow Spa group, we are the studio based in Singapore that specialize in making digital content such as games, apps and web for Rainbow product.

For your short information, Rainbow Spa is the animation company based in Loreto, Italy. Some of their main product are Winxclub, Huntik, Monster Allergy and the up coming title Poppixie.

Iginio Straffi is the CEO, founder and also the creator of the Winxclub series. One of the interesting story is the main character on the Winxclub which is Bloom was inspired by his wife Joanne Lee which is a Singaporean.
One thing I learned about Italian people, they are not only romantic in the movie but they are also romantic in the real life. Italian guy, that is the compliment for you.
( Don't get any wrong, the person on left is not Mr. Iginio Straffi, that is me!)

Since Winxclub become more and more popular (especially in Europe), they build a 3D studio in Rome for creating a 3D movie of Winxclub: The Secret of the Lost Kingdom. Right now they are in production on the second movie which will be screening maybe (I'm not sure :P) at the end of October in Italy, I dunno about Singapore. They currently in development of a theme park based on the Rainbow product called Rainbow Magicland. You can follow the development on facebook: Link
