Bangkok Bank in cooperation with Kantana Group will host an animation movie production workshop for Thai children to help develop their creativities and abilities in Arts.
Bangkok Bank is a major sponsor of the popular ‘Khan Kluay’ movie which was made by Kantana. The movie was recently shown in theatres and receives great feedback. Bangkok Bank requested several schools to select a total of 30 students aged between 9 and 12 years old who are talented in drawing and able to use computers to join in the workshop. The ‘First Step to an Animation world’ workshop will take place on Saturday, August 5 from 8.30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Kantana Group.
Bangkok Bank executive vice president Bordin Unakul said the Bank understands the importance of children’s education and requested the workshop as part of the sponsorship. This workshop will give the children an opportunity to learn about the production of ‘Khan Kluay’ and to produce an animation movie by themselves.
“The students will visit the Kantana production house, learn the fundamentals of animation movie production, draw up a story board, make the models, cut the film, make sound effects and lay down the voice-over. Their drawings will become moving animation pictures and they will receive a free CD ROM of their own animation movie. The children will also receice free gifts from Bangkok Bank and Kantana Group.” Mr. Bordin said.
Mr. Bodin said “Bangkok Bank is a strong supporter of education and talent development projects in all artistic fields. We are always happy to support opportunities to help smart Thai children become more efficient in learning and skill development. The story that the children will produce together will be included in the ‘Khan Kluay’ series on TV which will be launched by the year-end. The TV series is expected to be as successful as the Khan Kluay movie which has already made incomes of more than Baht 100 million.”
“The Bank hopes the Children will enjoy themselves and develop their skills at the workshop. It would give them inspiration and help develop thrie talents, skills and creativity,” Mr. Bodin said.
