Animation - Cinematicpro has released the first trailer of its upcoming 3D animation series.

The three minute trailer, shows a sneak peak of the animation series ‘Sam The Inventorbot’. Upon release, the series will be the first 3D animation series developed by an animation studio in Brunei.

The release date of the series hasn't been confirmed by the company yet.  “We are still uncertain on that as we need to test the market first”, said Hj Kairulazhar Hj Rosli (Founder of Cinematicpro).

Sam is the main character in this action adventure series about a young android boy from a robot-inhabited planet that invents gadgets in a quest to solve the mystery behind his parents’ demise.

The project is currently in the marketing stage and is currently being pitched to broadcasters. “We are already in contact with a few regional broadcasters and are now setting up to meet with a local broadcaster”, he added.

The firm also hired Malaysia 3D animation studio Giggle Garage Sdn Bhd as a consultant for the project as well as providing outsourcing support for its development.

The animation series project is also supported by the Authority for Infocommunication Technology Industry of Brunei Darussalam (AITI).

“We received around $70,000 grant funding from AITI under the Development of Local ICT and Digital Media Industries Grant”, said Hj Kairulazhar.

For the release of the trailer, he said, it has completed the requirement of the grant.

The project also won first place at the AITI Next Innovation and Multimedia Award for sustainable ICT Industry (ANIMASI) Pro-Digital Animation Challenge in 2012.

The series' quirky animation, simple lines and bold colours appeal visually to children, while the light-hearted stories keep them entertained. Kids love animals, so these stories, filled with talking animals both cunning and foolish, will capture their hearts! At seven minutes each, these mini-episodes are bite-sized enough to engage their attention fully.

The music throughout the series plays a supportive role.  The style is generally fun and whimsical with hints of drama!

Famous fables from around the world are brought to life using characters created from different shapes! This pre-school TV series retells beloved children's stories from Aesop's Fables to Australian Aborigines folktales using colourful shapes that cleverly form animals like rabbits, cats and even fish!

Created by the multi-award-winning animation studio Peach Blossom Media, each episode of this charming series entertains and teaches pre-schoolers about universal values of love, respect, courage and kindness.

Each story is presented by the narrator, Badger, who also comes on at the end to draw a conclusion from the story he has just told.  Badger chooses fables from all over the world, both ancient and modern. Just because a fable originated in Ancient Greece or among the Aborigines in Australia, it doesn't mean that the lesson it teaches isn't relevant to kids everywhere.

The uniqueness of the series lies in its design concept. Badger has at his disposal thousands of different shapes of all colours and sizes. He uses them to form the various characters and locations needed to tell each fable.  Sometimes the shapes are unruly and don't do what they are supposed to. At other times one of them falls out of place or turns up late, thereby disrupting the story. Badger interacts with the shapes, creating plenty of funny moments for kids to enjoy!

The album 'Independence' contains ten original tracks and they all exhibit a superb fusion of styles; blending classical orchestral elements with a modern day electronic sound... as an addition to this, 'Independence' also boasts a hint of the 80's too! It's already receiving extensive radio play and TMR Records have recently negotiated and licensed two of the tracks to GAP (Mexico) for use on their latest compilation CDs. Some of the album's tracks could be classed as a cross between the 'Pet Shop Boys', David Guetta, Scott Walker and Robert Miles. The songs are suitably original and highly emotive.

LYRICS:

VERSE 1: 

Brave boy, you are the one and only unashamed boy 

It's easy to forget you're so afraid boy 

Afraid of overlooking, like a strange toy 

The clown that someone gave you for your birthday 

CHORUS: 

Now it's time to release your love 

Yes it's time to release your love 

VERSE 2: 

Sometimes, a rich imagination takes you nowhere 

You allow for conversations to meander 

Your every word though poison, some believe you 

The strangest thing of all is I don't know you 

CHORUS: 

Now it's time to release your love 

Yes it's time to release your love 

INSTRUMENTAL

END CHANT: 

For the sake of the truth 

And the making of you 

Will you walk with me now 

And remember who's who 

We can take all our lives 

The light blinding yet giving 

Leading the way to what's right 

And forgiving 

CHORUS: 

Now it's time to release your love 

Yes it's time to release your love 

Now it's time to release your love

Missing Malaysia Airlines - Flight MH370 - MAS

Our hopes and prayers are with MH370 and their loved ones.  This music was written for a Malaysia Airlines Merdeka 2005 television commercial (TVC) for Merdeka Day commemorating the independence of Malaysia from British rule.

FACTS:

- Total Passengers: 239

- Aircraft: Boeing 777-200ER

- Departed Kuala Lumpur: 12:41am on 8th March 2014

- Scheduled to arrive in Beijing at 6:30am

- Air traffic controllers lost track of the jetliner at 1:30am between Malaysia and Vietnam

- All Boeing 777 commercial jets have black box recorders

- There are no signs of wreckage

- Apparently there were two Iranian illegals on board using fake passports

- Five passengers didn't get on the plane even though they checked in

- Two-thirds of the passengers on flight MH370 were Chinese

Was it terrorism, a mechanical failure or something else?

"Independence" - I composed, orchestrated and programmed this orchestral music in Logic Pro.

One of the tracks from Alan Sylvestri's Forrest Gump soundtrack was given as a reference track - the clients loved it so much they asked me to compose something as close as possible without infringing copyright.

Merdeka: "The effort for independence was spearheaded by Tunku Abdul Rahman, the first Prime Minister of Malaysia, who led a delegation of ministers and political leaders of Malaya in negotiations with the British in London for Merdeka, or independence along with the first president of the Malayan Chinese Association (MCA) Tun Dato Sir Tan Cheng Lock and fifth President of Malaysian Indian Congress Tun V.T. Sambanthan. Once it became increasingly clear that the Communist threat posed during the Malayan Emergency was petering out, agreement was reached on February 8, 1956, for Malaya to gain independence from the British Empire. However, for a number of logistical and administrative reasons, it was decided that the official proclamation of independence would only be made the next year, on August 31, 1957, at Stadium Merdeka (Independence Stadium), in Kuala Lumpur.

On the night of August 30, 1957, crowds gathered at the Royal Selangor Club Padang in Kuala Lumpur to witness the handover of power from the British. Prime Minister-designate Tunku Abdul Rahman arrived at 11:58 pm and joined members of the Alliance Party's youth divisions in observing two minutes of darkness. On the stroke of midnight, the lights were switched back on, and the Union Flag in the square was lowered. The new Flag of Malaya was raised as the national anthem Negaraku was played. This was followed by seven chants of 'Merdeka' by the crowd. Tunku Abdul Rahman gave a speech hailing the ceremony as "greatest moment in the life of the Malayan people".

On the morning of Saturday, August 31, 1957, the festivities moved to the newly-completed Merdeka Stadium. More than 20,000 people witnessed the ceremony, which began at 9:30 am. Those in attendance included rulers of the Malay states, foreign dignitaries, members of the federal cabinet and citizens. The Queen's representative, the Duke of Gloucester presented Tunku Abdul Rahman with the instrument of independence. Tunku then proceeded to read the Proclamation of Independence, which culminated in the chanting of 'Merdeka' seven times with the crowd joining in. The ceremony continued with the raising of the National Flag of Malaya accompanied by the national anthem being played and a 21-gun salute, followed by an azan call and a thanksgiving prayer in honor of this great occasion.

The formation of the Federation of Malaysia was then announced on September 16, 1963 as Malaysia Day. The nationwide Independence Day celebration is still held on August 31, the original independence date of Malaya, while Malaysia Day was a public holiday only in East Malaysia. However, this has caused some minor discontent among East Malaysians in particular since it has been argued that celebrating the national day on August 31 is too Malaya-centric. In 2009, it was decided that starting 2010, Malaysia Day would be a nationwide public holiday in addition to Hari Merdeka on August 31."

Thanks for checking out my auctions!

BTW: My Mum and Dad's old Volvo 850 GLT is also listed on eBay if anyone is interested: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VOLVO-850-GLT-Metallic-Grey-/291092011494?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item43c66f99e6

Volvo 850 GLT

2.0 Litre - Metallic Grey - ABS - SIPS

This has been a great car but I have acquired a new car from my sister-in-law. The Volvo is not required anymore, so we haven't fixed it and need the space on the drive/path.

This was my mum and dad's car (which I also had use of); when I say that - it pretty much means they've looked after it like a baby over the years!  They've had it since 1995/6.

As noted in the condition description above, the Volvo has issues (sunroof, clutch, electric aerial and possibly the fuel pump) but is generally in very good condition for it's age.  The bodywork is really good (apart from paint flaking from the rear spoiler). It needs work to get it back on the road.  It's never been involved in an accident and there aren't any bumps or dents. Currently it's non-drivable due to the clutch - Trailer required.

If you've owned an 850 Volvo before you'll appreciate how economical it is.  It handles really well too.  Anyone is welcome to view before bidding - please contact me via eBay message.  Thanks.

It would be a shame to scrap it, which is why we're listing it on eBay.  It would be suitable for someone who has time (or patience) to fix it or for someone that would like it for spares and parts.  Even the tires are valuable and in good condition.  Obviously the car is quite dated, but for it's age it's in good shape.

Mileage:  152802

Transmission:  Manual - 5 speed (6 including reverse)!  :-)

Engine:  2 litre - 1998cc

Colour:  Metallic Grey

Tax / MOT: None

Location:  Cheadle Hulme, Cheshire, United Kingdom

PLEASE NOTE: This Volvo is advertised elsewhere and we reserve the right to sell it before this listing ends if necessary.

Please contact me if you are interested; thanks.

Thanks for looking!  Please check out my other auctions too.

Good luck and happy bidding!
