INTRODUCTION
Animation generally refers to the process of setting inanimate objects in motion. It is broadly categorize into three forms namely 2D animation, 3D Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) and 3D Motion Capture.
The oldest and most basic form of animation used up to the present is 2D animation. The process of 2D animation is done by combining multiple sets of two-dimensional hand-drawn objects and placing them in a sequence and in a manner that creates an illusion that the drawn objects are in fact moving. With the advancement of computer technology, 2D animation has evolved into more than just handmade drawings.
3D animation in the other hand can be further classified into 3D CGI and 3D motion capture. These forms of animation give a more realistic view of the character because it gives the object the illusion of movement in a three-dimensional perspective. Unlike 2D animation, 3D CGI and 3D motion capture rely more on computer technology rather than the creativity of the artist in drawing an inanimate object.
Animation films in Malaysia still backward compared with other country such as Japan, Korea and US. Today animation films become growing and being large animation company which produces more animation films with high technology. In Malaysia, animation Films Company have to face with high challenge especially in producing the good animation films like Japan, Korea and US. They have so many budgets with good facilities and high technologies to produces the
