I. Details of the event/activity

The webinar I attended entitled, “Animaherasyon” was a paid webinar held at November 18-20, 2022. This was hosted by the Animation Council of the Philippines or ACPI, I only attended the Day 1 of the webinar which they invited Pinoy Youtubers, among which are famous pinoy satire animators such as Pendipods and Arkin Animation, while the Visual Development Panel were consist of veterans in the animation industry like Tito Romero, Michael Gorospe and Hardy Gamboa.

 

II. Reflections on the webinar/activity give rise to (learnings)

As an aspiring student that studies animation as a career, this webinar uplifted my spirit to pursue and be better on my own craft. In other words, I’m inspired to listen to their stories. How they made their titles, how it started, and what hardships they had fought to make their career successful like they were today.

As mentioned by some of them, animation is fun but serious. Or it seems to be easy at first glance. Without knowing the process and consistency on creating works like these, mostly as an animator you’ll not make the cut. And a part of that process is patiently learned from your lapses and accepting criticisms. By that you can continue improving your self to be a better artist.

They also shared their techniques on making animations, illustrations, character design, while also sharing their funny experiences and real-world happenings that also affect them – showing that they are somewhat connected and related to our society even though they don’t appear much in public. And it seems to me that what they do (Animation) is their way of communicating with people in the community. Yup, probably or obviously that is why they animate and create those cool satirical stories online to social media.

    

III. Reflections on possibilities on implementing some of the webinar input on a practical level (practical application of learnings)
 

Like them, I would seek to be a better artist. Applying their techniques, and passion on to myself. And to also inspire others in improving their art.

Researching new techniques would help me on that goal. I might take another art style or create from scratch. But what should always remain is my passion to create art in any form.

I could honestly say that I still need more experience on animations, this webinar made it clearer to me that I should stick to what I’m good at, which is Background Design.

 

IV. Positive feedback (on the event organization)

This webinar is worth my time as it encouraged me to further reflect on my skills in animation, and inspired by their warm atmosphere, such happy to listen to their stories of triumphs and hardships that they overcome.

           

V. Suggestions for improvements to be made/consider for future activities

I wish that they also added some lectures or studies about their workflows in creating animations and illustrations.
