IT based TV magazine, popularizing IT in Bangladesh
“ZANALA”
is one of the first IT based TV magazines of Bangladesh which was
intended to popularize Information Technology among the people of
this country. Today ZANALA has crossed that regional barrier and it
is entertaining and informing the viewers even outside the country.
The vision
of ZANALA is to demand a greater share in the world’s IT industry
through increased involvement of our large population by orienting
them to various scopes and ways to manipulate IT skills and
resources and encouraging popular actions.
"Kintu"
The Stop Motion
Animated Series
Child entertainment has always been neglected in the broadcast
industry of our country over the year. The situation is more or less
the same even nowadays. Children of our country have to depend on
satellite channels for their enjoyment. ZANALA Bangladesh has
recently undertaken a project of Stop Motion Animation to provide
the young entertainment as well as education. Stop Motion is today’s
animation trend and it is very much liked by the young generation.
The Stop Motion Animation Movie “Kintu” features a boy of our
neighborhood. He is around ten years of age and goes to school. He
has his family and friends around him to be a part of his daily
adventures. The goal of the show is not just entertainment but also
to provide the young generation some essential learning.
Stop Motion- this unique animation technique involves a combination
of art and technical skill. The little models and its environments
have to be carefully made with minute details. The lighting has to
be delicate. Human movements have to replicated and put into motion
in the little character models. After the careful creation of the
environment and the characters, each frame is shot with a still
camera. They are digitally retouched and compiled for the final
animation. All these images are transferred to animation software
and motion is given. Then appropriate voice and sound effects are
incorporated. After all these tasks are done, the whole movie is
rendered and converted in broadcast format.
The concept of Stop Motion has
not been practiced in Bangladesh yet. Moreover there very firms all
over the world who are making stop motion. ZANALA Bangladesh had
started the research phase for stop motion about a year back and
currently it is being implemented. The successful completion of the
project will open up a new animation sector in our country which has
an international prospect.
