New Report Examines Strategies, Trends and Opportunities in the Thriving Asian Animation Industry

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c90787) has announced the
addition of Asian Animation Industry: Strategies, Trends and
Opportunities 2008 to their offering.

Much of Asia's animation production since the 1960s has been tied
to foreign interests attracted by stable and inexpensive labour
supplies. For nearly forty years, western studios have established and
maintained production facilities, first in Japan, then in South Korea
and Taiwan, and now also in the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore,
Vietnam, Thailand, India, Indonesia, and China. The economics of the
industry made it feasible for Asia to feed the cartoon world, to the
extent that today, about 90% of all American television animation is
produced in Asia.

The usual procedure is for pre-production (preparing the script,
storyboard, and exposure sheets) to be done in the United States or
other headquarter countries, after which, the package is sent to Asia
for production (drawing cels, colouring by hand, inking, painting, and
camera work). The work is sent back to the U.S. or other headquarter
country for post-production (film editing, colour timing, and sound).
Asian animation companies bid fiercely for part of the global
business, insisting that it provides employment and skills for young
people, brings in needed foreign capital, and adds to the creation or
enhancement of domestic animation. Offshore animation has led to the
creating and nurturing of a local industry, as an infrastructure is
built up, equipment is put into place, and skills are transferred.
