Singaporean 3D & Animation Capabilities on Display at MIPCOM

SINGAPORE: The Media Development Authority (MDA) will be on hand at MIPCOM with a delegation of 11 Singaporean media companies that will be highlighting their capabilities in 3D and animation.

A variety of 3D content will be showcased at the Singapore Pavilion. This will include a preview of Singapore’s first Stereoscopic 3D IP, Dream Defenders. During MIPCOM, Singapore companies are expected to make a number of announcements involving co-productions in 3D.

Dr. Christopher Chia, the CEO of the Media Development Authority, said: “Singapore has made a concerted effort to develop the 3D capabilities of our media sector. The increased availability of 3D equipment and technology in Singapore allows local content providers to have greater access to a wider range of equipment to enable and expedite their development in 3D content and we are starting to see this bear fruit through quality made-by-Singapore 3D content. “

He added: “On the animation front, our line-up of titles, from branded properties to original creations, demonstrates that Singapore animation companies have come-of-age in their ability to produce content for the world, with the world. At MIPCOM, we look forward to forging greater ties, and forming collaborations with other international counterparts to further opportunities.”

Further productions, alongside Dream Defenders, that will be presented from Singapore include a second season of Dinosaur Train, a collaboration between The Jim Henson Company and Sparky Animation, and Mr. Moon, from Sparky Animation, Gallileo and Title Entertainment.
