Director of Pakistan’s first hand-drawn animated film, The Glassworker, Usman Riaz designed a sneakpeak for this October’s Pakistan International Film Festival, which was displayed in addition to getting Japanese talent, Geoffrey Wexler, chief international of Studio Ponoc to Pakistan.
Speaking to Instep specifically about cutting the The Glassworker sneakpeak, Usman notes, “The Glassworker sneakpeak was some of our favourite animated shots as well as work-in-progress shots; it was about showing the techniques we are employing to our frame-by-frame animated approach.”
As Usman notes, the purpose to do this was simple. Usman notes that the work being done internationally is what Mano Animation Studios aspires to, the standard is that high. Anything less than this is not acceptable. “If we can just meet that, we will be supremely happy; we don’t want to release sub-quality, substandard work. We don’t want to make mediocre work and release it; we want each film we make to be the culmination of all our hard work for that particular film and obviously, each film will keep improving. We want to make a film that we can look back at and say this is the best film we could’ve produced at that time. We did the best we could and anything we could’ve changed, we apply it to the next film – that’s the philosophy.”
