and digital games. Therefore there is a need for research to develop well designed
animation software with good story plots and local socio-cultural values for
educating as well entertaining our children.

time to produce folklores. The important of this project to the users is as a form of
reminded people some of stories of folklores. It also has items about Malay culture.
The result from the project will be in the form of an animation short movie which is

the media electronic is website www.karyanet.com.my this website converts the
some of collection stories folklores from book by Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka. Most
of people nowadays are not know folklores. In market on Malaysia more 2D
animation stories modern is developing such as Usop Sontorian and Bola Kampung.

This project was developing fkom the research in three 2D animation series
television showed in RTMl or TVI channel as the stories modem. These are
important to develop this project. There are the statistics and data from You Tube
website based on series on the title for each of the animation. The research for this
project undertaken three animation such as the first series animation in 1995 from

Karnn Ismail is Usop Sontorian based on the website Sinema Malaysia by Hassan
Abdul Mutalib, the film animation are Budak Lapok and the third series animation is

According the "Animasi Kita Bertaraf Dunia", Harian Metro 17 January
2008 from C Ramasamy. Football Kidz produce in Malaysia as the title Bola

Kampung. The local market, it's become one of five popular series animation in
television as a program entertainment for the children. The statements show some of
the stories are about sport such as Bola Karnpung because the developer thinks more
people are interesting about the modern life stories. The problems of the project
have been described as below:

I.

Awareness among Malaysians
Based on website Sinema Malaysia by Hassan Abdul Mutalib, Anime

(Japanese animation) has a very large following in Malaysia, especially among
students of design, animation and multimedia. If at one time, children and teenagers
only knew of American cartoon characters and stories, now they are reacting to
something closer to home and culture. Every week on Malaysian TV, about 300
foreign animation programs are screened. Out of this, about 25 are anime. Doraemon
is the biggest hit. Another's research from website Sinema Malaysia by Farihad
Shalla Mahrnud. Film animation Budak Lapok is fail. From literature on television
in channel 1 as example is produce modern stories example Bola Kampung. Form
that trend people will forget about folklores. This project which is produce as a short
stories 2D animation is use as an entertainment among Malaysians about pattern of
folklores.

ii.

Books as the manual platform
The current story is using the book as platform such as distribution of

Himpunan 366 Cerita Rakyat Malaysia organizes by the Utusan Publications, here
has a first manual system to produce folklores to people. There has no any
techniques animation or principles animation was use. But these books include some
of element multimedia such as text and pictures. In this book have 366 folklores
stories. There has no interactive in kind of these book. Second book is Cerita Rakyat

Malaysia organizes by the Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka. The books are using picture
to produce the storyline of the story folklores. However this now the book also
produces by e-book in www.karyanet.com.my. This project will be more properly in
animation and make people more interest especially children and teenagers.

iii.

Less Quantity Cartoons in Malaysia related to folklores
According the three examples such as is the animated series Usop Sontorian,

which is about the adventures of children in the village Parit Sontor, Johor fiom
writer by Charles F. Moreira. The second are Bola Kampung focuses on sport such
as football and the third series are Budak Lapok, based on website Sinema Malaysia
the genre is comedy is an ode to the films of P. Ramlee, Aziz Sattar and S.
Shamsuddin. According from interview with Mr Majuni Plera as DBP staff, now
day animation that stories folklores have produce in animation on film or series
cartoon in television is less. Most of the cartoon that was produce has a modem
storyline. From the observation, the short movie 2D animation as cartoon that
related to folklores will be produce in this project. In addition, many producers were
produced as a 2D animation nowadays such as entertainment to the children. This
project will attract the user's attention and use as awareness and entertainment
folklores in Malaysia to them because children have always been very attracted to
cartoons.

1.3 Objectives
There have three objectives to develop the project. The objectives of the project
are described briefly as following:

i.

To produce 5 minutes as 2D animation short movie product.

Short movie 2D animation that was developed will be produce in five minutes as the
duration.

ii.

To produce short movie 2D animation that preview as standard Phase
Alternating Line (PAL) with 4:3 aspect ratio.

Short movie 2D animation will be produce at television which is by an electronic
media. Based on this objective, format standard Phase Alternating Line (PAL) with

4:3 aspect ratio.

iii.

To apply technique 2D animation frame-by-frame.

Technique he-by-frame will be applied on this project as the animation for the
characters as human and object as animals and some of the environment.
