National film industry must keep improving itself

Indonesia Film Company or known as Perusahaan Film Indonesia must keep improving itself to produce good quality movies in this globalization era. “We once had a breakdown in film industry back then. However, it’s already growing and increasing because there are many Indonesian movies achieve international awards. Therefore, in order to improve national film industry, PPFI must keep improving itself, either in their organizational issue or the quality of movies they produce,” said Jakarta Governor, Sutiyoso, while opening the 17th Congress of Persatuan Perusahaan Film Indonesia (PPFI) at Crown Plaza Hotel in South Jakarta on Thursday (19/7).

Meanwhile, the Head of PPFI, Chand Parwez Servia, said that the development of national film industry shows a great improvement every year. Servia explained that in 2004, there were 21 movies with the viewers numbers reached to 6 million. In 2006, there were 32 movies. The 17th Congress of PPFI is held to celebrate 51st PPFI anniversary. PPFI consists of 120 film companies. The congress will be closed by the Minister of Culture and Tourism, Jero Wacik, tonight at 7.30 p.m. The closing ceremony will also have performance from several artists like Ahmad Albar, Melly Goeslaw, Cici Paramida, Dorce Gamalama, Patrio group, Aksay and Sharmila.

Jakarta Sees Future for Creative Industries

Financial Times (UK); Friday, October 26, 2007
By John Aglionby

Indonesia wants to more than double the creative industries’ contribution to the national economy in the next few years through aggressive development of the country’s rich, but largely untapped, artistic traditions and cultural heritage.

Mari Pangestu, the trade minister, says the creative industries contribute about 4.75 per cent of Indonesia’s $400bn (£195b) gross domestic product.

“I think we should be able to get it up to 10 per cent,” she said. “It will take five to eight years. But we think Indonesia can have a niche [in creative industries] because of the very rich artistic capability of Indonesia and the very rich cultural heritage, as well as very high skills.”

The move is seen as an important plank in a wider, long-term strategy to diversify Indonesia’s economy away from the resource-based industries and labour-intensive manufacturing on which it now relies.

Officials trumpet the recent arrival of Royal Doulton, the British tableware and collectables manufacturer, as a sign of how overseas companies can tap into Indonesian creativity. It has a large factory near Jakarta and recently transferred 1,400 jobs to it from Britain, opening a design studio nearby.

Narinder Arora, the head of Royal Doulton in Indonesia, said the local population’s creativity was something of a hidden talent. “They’re very poor at marketing,” he said, “and they’re very shy people, but what we’ve discovered with our products is that the quality and the creativity is as good as their British counterparts.”

Longstanding uncertainty over intellectual property rights, endemic corruption and burdensome labour laws have long been regarded as brakes on investment in Indonesia.

South-east Asia’s largest economy languished in 123rd place out of 178 countries in terms of the ease of doing business in a recent World Bank ranking.

Mrs Pangestu said the drive to push investment in the creative industries would require a shake-up of government policies regarding intellectual property rights and education. But there are still those who see enormous potential in Indonesia’s initiative.

Yudhi Soerijoatmodjo, the head of a team at the British Council helping to develop Indonesia’s cultural industries, said the country had spent the past three decades focusing on securing investment in labour-intensive, low-end manufacturing rather than on product design and branding. But when it had ventured into creative industries it had found success.

Mr Yudhi said a good example was the music and related mobile phone ringtone industry. “Eighty per cent of music sales in Indonesia are now from local artists,” he said. “And bands have found they can make masses of money from just one song by making it into a mobile phone ring tone.”

Samson, a local rock band, made $1.8m from downloads last year.

The internet is also providing hitherto undreamt-of opportunities for creative Indonesians, according to Chris Kie, an Indonesian who draws the American GI Joe comic stories and designs matching action figures.

“Artists can put their work on sites ... and get noticed in a way that they couldn’t before because not many Indonesians can go abroad and showcase their talents,” he said.

The biggest impediment to success is seen as the government’s ability to abide by its promises of reform.

“The lack of co-ordination between government ministries is the big problem,” Mr Yudhi said. “If everybody can work in a co-ordinated way the challenges can be overcome because there’s a lot of buzz in the local media and society.”

Andrie Trisaksono, who started designing automated teller machines on a scrap of paper four years ago and turned a $4,000 loan into a multi-million-dollar company, said the government needed to address “economic creativity” issues.

“If they can make it easier to do business here and attract investment then our creative industries could be extraordinary,” he said.

Kaum Muda Jadi Pelopor: Industri Kreatif Indonesia Tembus Pasar Mancanegara
Kompas; 31 Oct-07

Bandung, Kompas - Perkembangan industri kreatif di Indonesia sebenarnya cukup menggembirakan. Bahkan, beragam industri kreatif yang digerakkan anak-anak muda Indonesia yang mengandalkan pada kreativitas telah mampu menembus pasar mancanegara.

Kenyataan ini terungkap dari kunjungan ke beberapa perusahaan yang bergerak di bidang fashion, arsitektur, dan seni yang dibangun anak-anak muda di Bandung, Selasa (30/10). Kegiatan ini rangkaian dari simposium regional Strategic Dialogue in South East Asia-Developing Creative Industry yang digelar British Council dan diikuti pengambil kebijakan dan praktisi senior pendidikan dari 10 negara.

PT Urbane Indonesia yang didirikan tahun 2004 oleh M Ridwan Kamil, misalnya, mengembangkan pembangunan kembali dan desain urban, arsitektur, arsitektur lanskap, perencanaan regional dan kawasan, serta pembangunan yang menggabungkan beragam fungsi.

Dalam rancangan kreatif para arsitektur ini, fungsi dan estetika diterapkan secara selaras. Namun, juga tetap memerhatikan masalah lingkungan hidup, masalah sosial, termasuk ekologi, dampak visual, dan peluang ekonomi. Karya-karya kreatif para arsitek muda Indonesia ini sudah merambah mancanegara, seperti di China, Timur Tengah, dan kini mengerjakan proyek di Suriah.

Salah satu proyek arsitektur yang pernah dikerjakan adalah Beijing Islamic Center Mosque, bekerja sama dengan EDAW Hongkong. Untuk master plan, misalnya Huang Pu River Regional Master Plan di Shanghai, China, bersama SOM Hongkong.

Reza A Nurtjahja dari PT Urbane Indonesia mengatakan, karya para arsitek Indonesia ini mampu menembus pasar global karena menawarkan gagasan yang tidak biasa, tetapi tetap memerhatikan kepuasan pengguna. "Yang ditawarkan harus karya yang universal, bisa diterima pasar global," kata Reza.

Menyebar ke mancanegara

Fikki C Satari dari Airplane Systm, yang bergerak di industri kreatif fashion, mengatakan, pangsa pasar fashion yang dihasilkan dari Bandung sudah menyebar ke seluruh Indonesia dan mancanegara. "Kami mengandalkan pada desain yang lahir dari ide-ide kreatif. Fashion yang dihasilkan pun jadi unik dan tidak pasaran, malah bisa jadi trendsetter," kata Fikki.

Kreativitas pun bukan berhenti pada produksi, tetapi juga dalam pemasaran. Fikki dan teman- temannya membuat toko berjalan dengan memanfaatkan bus yang didesain secara kreatif pula. Bus ini menjadi toko berjalan yang menghampiri para pembeli di banyak tempat di Bandung. Bahkan, tahun ini mereka direncanakan menambah bus untuk di luar kota Bandung.

Selain itu, pemasaran dijalankan dengan menggabungkan industri kreatif musik independen atau musik indie yang digemari generasi muda. Dengan demikian, pembeli dikenalkan dengan budaya indie untuk menyerap semangat positif dari budaya ini.

Adapun Gustaff H Iskandar dari Common Room Network Foundation mengembangkan suatu tempat di mana orang dari berbagai kalangan bisa berkumpul untuk menyajikan kreativitas mereka. Seniman bisa memamerkan kreativitas seni mereka, atau ilmuwan bisa memperkenalkan pengetahuan dan teknologi yang sedang dikembangkan.

Pengusaha-pengusaha muda yang menggerakkan industri kreatif di Bandung tersebut juga mengembangkan kegiatan-kegiatan yang mendorong semakin banyak anak muda yang berani mengembangkan diri dengan kreativitas mereka. Pendidikan di luar sekolah dikembangkan bagi anak-anak muda yang tertarik untuk mengeksplorasi diri. (ELN)

That's what i called creativity :D!!

Australian street fashion designer traces his creative roots in Bandung
Alvin Darlanika Soedarjo, The Jakarta Post, Sydney

What's happening in the underground world in Indonesia may one day take the international fashion world by storm.

At least that's how Jodia Natapradja, an Australian-born clothing and accessories designer whose parents came from Bandung, perceives growing clothing scene from the city.

"There are so many happening things in Bandung for fashion design there. It's untapped and the world has yet to see," says the 26-year-old designer for Insight 51 label, a street and surf wear brand from Sydney.

Jodia says that creative-wise, the young designers from Bandung, who establish their own distros (independent label), have much to offer to the global urban fashion scene.

The label that he works (also known as Insight) was formed 10 years ago by an Australian surfer. Then it designed only t-shirts but has now shifted into designing more dress.

The brand is similar to other surf labels, such as Quiksilver, Billabong and Ripcurl, but has an eclectic edge to its design, apparent in its t-shirts, handbags and scarves.

Insight, which target market are people from age 16 to 25, started with only 25 personnel. Now it has more than 60 people with brand presence in 40 countries. Besides the U.S. and Europe, the label has entered the Indonesian market in which it has its own domestic designers.

"I've tried to tell the people in Insight Indonesia to check out the distros rather than the big name shops. The designers for those distros have the most talent. They have an international kind of flavor," says Jodia, who visits Bandung twice a year.

Insight headquarter in Sydney supervises the blueprint from Indonesia. The Indonesian team proposes the design of apparel that they like, because "obviously they know more than we do on what will sell there," he says.

"They send their artwork to me. If they fit within our guidelines than I will approve it or tell them to make some changes."

For the Indonesian market, the label needs a conspicuous modification.

"Our clothes can become quite expensive. And for Indonesians, if they buy expensive clothes, they like to show the brand. Whereas here, a lot of customers don't like to have their Insight brand shown on their clothes."

The trend of style in Indonesia tends to be a bit slower than Australia. Sydney has a 10-week cycle. Every 10 weeks the creative artists need to come up with fresh ideas for the designs.

Despite his affection towards Bandung, Jodia reckons that Sydney is richer in inspiration for urban design rather than Indonesian cities.

"In Indonesia, there isn't a city where you can go and walk around outside. The cities is so congested, there are so many people and everything is based around a shopping mall."

Insight t-shirts, which are manufactured in China and a few in Indonesia, have starting retail price of about AUS$50 (Rp 400,000) and go higher for the clothing selection.

Its market so far is obviously Australia. But soon, Jodia says, Europe and the U.S should take over.

"Although I'm an Australian citizen, I still feel Indonesian," says Jodia at his office, which is basically a warehouse cum office space.

Nonetheless, Jodia says that living outside Indonesia has its own benefit.

"When I was living (in Indonesia) it was really hard for me to express myself. Maybe it's just the way of living. I found it hard for me to speak out or express my mind whereas here, I live in a multicultural country, your mind is already open to other things."

Jodia, a huge hip hop fan, says that he takes much inspiration such a cooperative climate, which should be developed.

A multitude of Indonesians living here who should be more of them designing stuff and bringing their cultural distinction here, he adds. "I still feel a big connection with Indonesians. I meet many of them during Idul Fitri events or Indonesian bazaars."

Meanwhile, a designer from Bandung's Distro 347, Dendy Darman, says that the unique lifestyle of the inhabitants make all the difference.

"The street visual style of Bandung derives from a myriad of perspective. We are a mix of people from different backgrounds such as skateboarders and 'indie' musicians," he says.

"It's a close-knit community so we influence each other."

Dendy, who sees himself more as having a career in the creative rather than the clothing industry, adds that compared to the style in Jakarta, Bandung's style is generally "easier to digest". "Visually, Jakarta is more avant-garde."

Dendy, who is one of five main designers for the label, says that good relations between communities of two cities, such as Jakarta and Bandung, can boost a better hybrid in fashion design.

Students seek creative freedom abroad
Alvin Darlanika Soedarjo, The Jakarta Post, Sydney

Studying fashion design abroad has several its advantages, but prestige -- as some people may have thought initially -- is not its best benefit. It is the freedom and desire to express themselves better, a few Indonesian students say.

"In Indonesia, we do things to please the teachers, while here we do things that can satisfy us foremost," says Sita Ayupitaloka, a senior student at Raffles College of Design and Commerce who comes from Surabaya.

In Australia, the senior student adds, "I feel that I'm not being bogged down by unnecessary pressure".

Stephanie Sentoso from Jakarta says that studying arts and crafts in South East Asian countries can be an unnecessary mind-boggling experience.

Steph, as she is called by her classmates, used to study fashion design in Singapore. There, the appreciation comes after we almost reach our breaking point, the senior student says.

"There are different attitudes between Asians and bule. In Singapore, if the teachers haven't seen you sweat, then they cannot see you making an effort," Steph says, adding that nevertheless design means using one's brain to full capacity.

In Singapore, creating good design is mandatory, she adds.

Generally, all students enrolled in their school will study for six semesters (three years) to obtain bachelor's degree or four semesters to get associate's degree. They work on developing a design idea for a collection from concept through production and marketing.

Australian teachers in general, they reckon, are more encouraging. The work that the students created, which can look trivial, can be considered as "beautiful" and "fantastic".

"If the faculty members criticize our work, they are more careful in using their words compared to people back home, who can 'poke' you straight to your heart," says Steph.

The students also raise concern also about the "dress down and cover up" bylaws that some Indonesian officials try to impose, saying that it threatens the true character of Indonesians.

Traditional Indonesian dresses such as the kebaya is supposed to be worn tightly, thus the bylaw can kill its feature, Steph reckons.

As for Indonesian style, they say that arts and crafts from home is highly appreciated by Sydneysiders whereas Indonesians kind of overlook them, they agree.

"When Australians see a wooden carving from our country, they see the value by asking about how long it took to create and where they get the inspiration for the intricate pattern," says Steph, who plans to go back to Indonesia after she graduates.

"Indonesians would say something like...oohh I think there are a lot of these in Jepara!"

Despite the nurturing climate, the students think that fashion retailers in Sydney, regardless of its multicultural consumers, offer too much of the same thing.

Milvy Linardi Lie, a freshman from Jakarta, says that many retailer here, which tend to follow the haute couture (high fashion) in New York and Paris, have collections that are less varied compared to Jakarta.

"In Indonesia, the style is also heavily influenced by what's going on in Japan," says Milvy, who previously enrolled in art schools in Malaysia and Indonesia.

"The Pasar Baru area in Jakarta still offers more quality fabrics than here, but they are not exposed enough internationally. They should be given more capital for expansion."

Indonesian fashion designers should step up in the international arena and bringing their roots to the fashion scene, says Sita, who contemplates a career in Indonesia as a fashion journalist.

The risk of being a fashion design student? "We have to be careful with the needles. All the students have to learn how to sew."

Here I put one of my favorite:

Cerita di Balik “ITB MUDA PROGRESIF”

“Lawan dari Hidup bukanlah Mati, tapi Menjadi Tua”
Simon de Beauvoir

Angkatan ITB muda tersebar di berbagai tempat dan meriap-riap dalam upayanya berkarya bagi masyarakat yang terkadang masih mengalahkan egoismenya sebagai manusia. Anak-anak muda ini marah tetapi tak mau mencari kambing hitam pun tak mau menyalahkan siapapun. Kemarahan, dalam bentuk positif tentunya menjadi bahan bakar yang ampuh yang dapat diolah menjadi energi positif yang bercita-cita untuk membangun dan berkarya dalam kesadaran. Diskusi-diskusi di antara teman-teman mahasiswa atas kondisi bangsa dan kiprah yang cenderung melemah dari penggerak bangsa yang tergabung dalam status alumni ITB, mantan mahasiswa yang cenderung menjadi harapan bangsa adalah awal dari segala sesuatu. Diskusi antara Zaid Perdana Nasution (TL96), Diding (PL96), Hokky Situngkir EL96), Ariemulyo Nugroho (KI96), Muhammad Kurniawan Ginting (TI96), Efri (TM96), Wahyu Nugroho (TI96), Ilham (TK96), Nando (TL96) bersama-sama dengan generasi yang tak jauh usianya seperti Deni Khanafiah (KI98), Rolan Mauludy (TI00), Adrian Maulana (MT01), Hoferdy Zawani (PL01), Kurniawan Hadi Yusro (FI01) yang kemudian melebar ke sebuah forum yang menyertakan berbagai kalangan yang memberikan dukungan termasuk di antaranya Abdillah Prasetya (FI98), Arief Haryanto (FI98), Eka (SR96), Nomo (FA95), Berlin (KI00), Rovi (SI01) dan deretan nama-nama lain akhirnya berkeinginan membentuk tim alumni ITB Muda Progresif yang ingin menggunakan momentum suksesi kepengurusan Ikatan Alumni IA (ITB) sebagai sebuah momentum perubahan demi progresifitas dan harmonisasi demi kemashlahatan masyarakat seluasnya, kemahasiswaan dan kehidupan kampus ITB, serta sinergisasi berbagai aktivitas profesional alumni ITB.

Pertemuan tersebut digelar dengan melemparkan wacana ini pada hari Sabtu 29 September 2007 yang dihadiri lebih dari 50 orang alumni muda angkatan 95 ke bawah. Pertemuan ini secara tak terduga berubah menjadi wacana untuk menyusun sebuah kekuatan alternatif untuk menjadikan IA ITB menjadi wadah yang penuh warna semangat kemudaan yang bersih dan progresif. Syarat yang mesti dipenuhi adalah mesti adanya dana sebesar Rp 30 juta yang disetorkan pada pendaftaran dan Rp 100 juta sebagai jaminan yang akan dikembalikan jika kandidat ternyata kalah, dukungan dari setidaknya satu IA daerah dan satu IA jurusan. Tanpa diduga pertemuan pada malam itu berakhir dini hari dengan sebuah kerelaan orang-orang muda ini untuk ber-urunan dalam memenuhi syarat agar tim dapat maju dalam bursa pemilihan yang akan diselenggarakan 17 November 2007. Dana terkumpul pada malam itu secara mengejutkan adalah lebih dari Rp 24 juta yang sebagian besar adalah dana urunan sukarela dan pinjaman lunak. Tim ITB Muda Progresif akhirnya terbentuk dengan Zaid Perdana Nasution sebagai juru bicaranya.

Namun wacana ini banyak ditentang oleh banyak pihak yang lebih mempertahankan status quo dan anti-progesivitas. Ungkapan-ungkapan seperti “belum saatnya”, “kalian masih terlalu muda”. “kalian mesti tahu ukuran baju kalian”, dan sebagainya berseliweran dan akhirnya mengejawantah pada sulitnya mendapatkan dukungan dari IA Teknik Lingkungan dan IA Medan. IA Teknik Lingkungan seolah terkunci rapat oleh situasi kepengurusan yang agak ‘beku’ dan IA Medan yang ngotot tidak memberi dukungan karena telah kelanjur mendukung kandidat dari menteri sektretaris negara, Hatta Rajasa – padahal jelas-jelas ada revisi Surat Keputusan yang membolehkan IA daerah memberikan dukungan kepada lebih dari satu kandidat. Sikap IA Jurusan Kimia yang demokratis akhirnya memberikan titik terang. IA Jurusan Kimia menerbitkan surat dukungan kepada juru bicara Tim ITB Progresif untuk maju sebagai Kandidat Ketua Umum IA ITB Pusat. Tindakan demokratis dan upaya bersikap netral ini didukung oleh IA Daerah Jawa Barat yang juga menerbitkan surat dukungan pada malam sehari sebelum batas penyerahan formulir pada lewat tengah malam tanggal 2 Oktober 2007. Antusiasme yang besar dari kawan-kawan melalui komunikasi pesan pendek telepon selular dan e-mail akhirnya memberikan pinjaman dana untuk melengkapi syarat yang diberikan panitia.

Melalui urunan kawan-kawan dua mobil dirental untuk memberangkatkan wakil tim ke Jakarta untuk mencatat sejarah alumni ITB dalam pendaftaran diri sebagai calon kandidat. Tanggal 3 Oktober dana masih kurang sekitar Rp 100 juta sebagai dana jaminan. Beberapa jam sebelum berangkat, dengan bermodalkan semangat yang tinggi, maka Zaid Perdana Nasution, Diding (PL96), dan Hokky (EL96) berutang Rp 80 juta kepada Lembaga Swadaya Masyarakat Inisiatif Bandung, sebuah LSM yang telah dibangun beberapa tahun oleh Diding dan Rp 20 juta dari Gaper (GL95) sehingga cek Rp 100 juta menjadi sebuah realisasi. Komitmennya adalah bahwa hutang ini akan di-share kepada seluruh rekan-rekan pendukung, dan sebelum malam pemilihan harus sudah lunas, karena tak mungkin kita maju dan menang dengan hutang yang dapat menjadi pintu masuk bagi gagasan-gagasan yang tak mencerminkan idealisme yang diusung. Jabatan publik bukanlah sebuah media investasi!

Dengan tanda ikat tangan berwarna merah putih, lebih dari sepuluh anggota tim berangkat ke Jakarta: Jalan Surabaya. Pendaftaran secara resmi diterima oleh Sekretaris Setyo Triyono (EL76), Bendahara Nimrod Sitorus (TI74), Wakil Ket III Syauki (KI85), Tim Verifikasi Noor Cholis (GD88) dan A. Munif (GD87). Epos perjuangan pun dimulai…

Ayat Ayat Cinta is a beautifully portrayed Islamic love story -- a tale of a virtuous Muslim protagonist who overcomes all obstacles of life maintaining pure ideals.

Fahri bin Abdillah is a poor, intelligent student who wins a scholarship to complete his graduate degree at Egypt's esteemed Al Azhar University. Very disciplined and dedicated by nature, Fahri embraces his life in Cairo, completing his studies and translation of religious books with full enthusiasm, exactly according to pre-determined targets.

Only one goal is left unattempted: the pursuit of marriage.

For Fahri is innocent and pure, and doesn't believe in the concept of relationships prior to marriage. He is inarticulate and shy around women. All his life, only two women have been close to him -- his mother and grandmother.

Life changes drastically in Egypt for he suddenly finds himself surrounded by four beautiful, distinctly different women.

Maria Girgis, a shy, open-minded Coptic-Christian neighbor who is attracted to the teachings of the Holy Al Quran, finds herself falling in love with Fahri (a fact she only reveals to her diary).

Nurul, a student at Al Azhar like Fahri, is the Muslim daughter of a renowned Indonesian cleric. Fahri feels unworthy of her and thus ignores his feelings for her, leaving her confused and guessing.

Noura, an abused Egyptian neighbor, develops strong romantic feelings for Fahri, who in turn simply sympathizes with her situation. His romantic rejection destroys her and eventually leads to a false accusation of rape.

Aisha, a German Turkish student in Cairo haunts Fahri with her beautiful eyes. Following an incident on the metro where Fahri defends her against narrow minded bigoted Muslims, both immediately develop feelings for each other.

As the story unravels, the protagonist makes the audience face the daunting decisions he himself faces, and forces us to marvel at his undying loyalty to the true ideals of Islam as he ultimately makes the choice of a lifetime.

This "14-years-old" girl really got talent. Her voice was just amazing :) . Unfortunately, she got visual-disability (tunanetra).

But, I dont care, she absolutely looks beautiful to me. The voice is just amazing. Fiersha even reached the top 3 position in MAMAMIA Super Show -- The reality show, which offers singing contest (and "thanks god!!!) not SMS-based result :D ...

The Adventure of Carlos Caterpillar

Castle Ekspor Ratusan Film Animasi ke Eropa dan AS

JAKARTA, KAMIS - Produk industri animasi dalam negeri ternyata lebih diminati asing daripada pasar dalam negeri. Ratusan serial film animasi anak produksi perusahaan animasi lokal Caste Production, telah diserap pasar Eropa dan AS, namun belum satu pun yang diserap stasiun televisi dalam negeri.

"Kalau ditanya berapa banyak mungkin sudah ratusan film kita ekspor," ujar Ardian Elkana, Chairman Castle Production usai menerima penghargaan MURI (Museum Rekor Indonesia) di Jakarta, Rabu (30/4), sebagai produsen serial 3D pertama yang mengekspor produknya ke Eropa dan AS. Film-film serial televisi buatan Castle telah diekspor ke Swiss, Prancis, Spanyol, Jerman, Inggris, dan AS.

Beberapa judul film yang dikerjakan Castle antara lain "The Adventure of Carlos Caterpillar" yang bercerita mengenai petualangan seekor ulat untuk televisi Spanyol, "The Story of Jim Elliot" tentang misionaris di Ekuador untuk televisi Inggris, dan cerita anak-anak "Cherub Wings" untuk televisi AS. Castle mengerjakan seluruh proses animasi, sedangkan cerita dan karakter sesuai pesanan.

Maria Tjhin, General Manager Castle, mengatakan ekspor telah dilakukan sejak tahun 2000 dan dari tahun ke tahun jumlah pesanan naik sekitar 20 persen. Dalam sebulan, rata-rata jumlah produksi film mencapai dua buah. Dari 170 karyawan, sekitar 80 persennya animator.

"Castle memang konsentrasi di serial televisi," ujarnya. Ia mengakui film-film animasi buatan Castle masih kelas B, namun sudah sejajar dengan film-film animasi buatan Taiwan dan Korea. Kualitanya masih kurang dari 25 frame per detik, tetapi di atas Doraemon yang hanya 12 frame perdetik. Menurutnya, televisi asing memilih Castle karena dari sisi kualitas tidak kalah namun dari sisi harga bisa lebih murah.

Produsen Star Wars Rekrut Puluhan Animator Indonesia

JAKARTA, JUMAT - Siapa tak bangga direkrut Lucas Film, perusahaan yang memproduksi film Star Wars. Puluhan animator lokal dari Indonesia dalam waktu dekat akan menjadi punggawa perusahaan tersebut melalui Lucas Film Animation Singapore, salah satu divisi Lucas Film yang berbasis di Singapura.

"Lucas Film sudah menghubungi kita, saat ini mereka sedang mengerjakan project butuh 170 orang, 30 di antaranya minta dari kita," ujar Andi S Boediman, Direktur Digital Studio College (DSC), di sela-sela pembukaan Digital Studio Fair 2008 yang menampilkan hasil karya 20-30 lulusan DSC tahun ini. Wakil dari Lucas Film, Amy Quek yang menjabat Manager Industry Relation and Artistic Development hadir langsung menyaksikan karya desain lulusan DSC.

Bukan kali ini para animator Indonesia direkrut perusahaan asing. Bahkan, sejak tahun lalu sebuah perusahaan film hasil joint venture pengusaha Indonesia dan Singapura, Infinite Frameworks, telah merekrut puluhan animator Indonesia. Mereka direkrut untuk mengerjakan proyek pembuatan film animasi berjudul "Sing to the Dawn" yang telah rampung dan segera dirilis Juni 2008.

Proses pengerjaannya dilakukan di Batam dan melibatkan sekitar 100 orang. Menurut Andi, film ini bisa dikatakan asli Indonesia karena sekitar 95 persen yang terlibat dari Indonesia.

"Mungkin ini yang bikin Lucas Film mulai melirik animator kita," kata Andi penuh optimistis. Kalau sekarang baru Lucas Film, bukan tidak mungkin puluhan lagi animator Indonesia juga dilirik perusahaan film animasi asing lainnya, seperti Walt Disney, Dreamworks, Pixar, dan sebagainya.

Namun, akan lebih membanggakan kalau tumbuh industri film animasi lokal di dalam negeri sendiri. "Kita tak membatasi, tapi dengan bekerja dengan perusahaan asing, pengalaman mereka kita harapkan dibawa ke Indonesia dan ditularkan," tandas Andi.
