RPG Metanoia was the first full length 3D
Filipino made animated film which is an official entry for the 2010 Metro
Manila Film Festival. It won 3rd Best Picture, Best Original Theme
Song, and Best Sound Recording during the said film festival, also won Best
Sound at the 2011 Film Academy of the Philippines, and nominated for Best
animated Feature at the 2011 Asia Pacific Screen Awards. It was rated General
Patronage by the Movie and
Television Review and Classification Board.
No wonder that
RPG Metanoia won several awards and been nominated for it is produced by the
Star Cinema, Ambient Media and Thaumatrope Animation. The storyline is good. It
presented the Filipino’s traits and cultures, the modern Filipino family and
children as well. The dad who’s working abroad and a full time mom who’s taking
care of their children. Also this children who are spending most of their time
in front of the computer, playing and raging over this addicting games instead
of reading books or playing sport or any physical activities.
In terms of the
animation, sadly but it did not meet my expectations. I can see several times
that the blinking of Nico’s mom is not synchronized. Movements weren’t that
smooth. The settings are nice, though sometimes it appeared dark, the lighting
wasn’t consistent. The environment seemed well planned for specific scenes. And
for the character design, I am loving the steam punk theme whenever they are
turning into their avatars on the online game. Steam punk with the touch of
Filipino designs are great!
Looking forward
seeing 3D movies made by Filipino artists in the near future and also hoping to
be part of those projects. This kind of animated films are the reasons and my
inspiration to pursue my dream to be a great animator.
