Isn’t that a dream come true?

The data proven that the whole world is crazy about the fast growing animation industry! Animation production is not just a trendy entertainment industry but a NEED for the current market to explore and expand to a whole new next level to be bind with future living style. There are endless possibilities we can explore and expand!

To be honest we were pretty overwhelmed on the night before when we were setting up our booth in Malaysia Pavilion. We would say that our booth is just a super normal basic set up compare to other big player, such as Tencent and Konami! Next round we would definitely be more prepared!On the first day of event, we weren’t that confident yet due to the difference in culture. But believe me or not, ART connects people from all around the world! Some of the exhibitors were naturally outspoken and easy going, while most of them were very kind to share their actual experience in animation production industry! Throughout 4 days of events and B2B activities, We get to connect with many big players from animation production all around the world, such as Konami, Tencent, Netease Games, Toei Animation, Platinum Games and much much more!

We would like to special thanks to Tencent for sharing about database and workflow. For Platinum Games, we were very please that the person in charge make time for us for further meeting and show interest in our portfolio. For Keywords Studios, thank you for making effort to keep us updated on any collaboration potential. Never the less, we were very amazed and inspired from everyone at the event.

Wish all ART PEOPLE around the world achieve your dream!

Together we create a better art community and animation industry!

Fill your life with experiences, not things. Have stories to tell, not stuff to show.

Well, that’s all for today’s write-up. We are so proud of ourselves on every little step up. We will keep it up and continue inspire the world to the best we can!
