Animation in Pakistan | Usman Riaz | TEDxKL

- There is no hand draw animation in Pakistan and TED Senior Fellow Usman Riaz is breaking new ground by starting the first hand drawn animation there.
Usman Riaz is an artist and Pakistani musician making a worldwide mark with his astonishing and fun-to-listen-to technique. Influenced by percussive guitarists - who move beyond strumming to striking, treating their fret board like the soundboard of a piano - he makes a sound that feels larger than the instrument itself, with a compelling pattern of repetition and variation that harkens to mystical music traditions.
In 2011, a viral video for his song “Fire Fly” helped bring his sound from the small-but-thriving Pakistani music community to a global audience.
Currently directing Pakistan’s first hand-drawn animated film The Glassworker (funded by supporters through Kickstarter) through Mano Animation Studios which he leads, Usman is working with a team of talented animators from his home country, UK, South Africa and Malaysia.
Usman continues to be the youngest TED Senior Fellow
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
Art is a subject that was never appreciated here in Pakistan and I suppose this is the push Usman has taken note of took a step forward for what his passion asks about. Really amazed by the inspiration!
It is very inspiring. My name is Usmaan too and I am also Pakistani but I was born in America. Even over here in America art isn’t as appreciated as it is in a place like Japan. Yes there is a lot of animation here, but there is still the stereotype that all animation is childish. I hope one day someone will put their foot down and make a change in the industry
I am just sooooo thrilled....
someone is actually taking a step forward....
I would like to see this new animation industry flourish and would like to take a part in it someday
hope that it gets the credit it deserves...
you're an inspiration for all the animation lovers
Well done, Usman. We wish you a lot of success and happiness.

I'm very glad I contributed to the Kickstarter.
thanks Usman, for representing Pakistan at such a nice place and very good work
Amazing Usman Riaz Salute tou effort bro.
I am itself and 3d designer working across the border of Pakistan UAE.
I wish i could i make animation as well in 3d but lack of scope there, anyways on my journey hoping for the best.
Ever since i was a child, I love anime. Even tho I used to watch also every cartoon, there was always something special about it that i could never understand but as the time went on, i came to know why i love it so much especially the 90s. There was a sense of beauty in it which always had my attention to it. As i grew up and came to know the value of animation in Pakistan up to nothing, i was really disappointed but with time came new ideas like the Commander Safeguard series and burka avenger but that never filled the empty hole in my heart which was later on filled when i saw the trailer of The Glassworker a few days ago on facebook, my eyes got watery and I had this odd sense of pride as i came to know that it`s from Pakistan from all the places. I`m just a bit sad that i came to know about it so late. I`m from Malaysia myself and now i wish that i knew bout it thus i could attend that TEDxKL just for this! Usman Riaz, I wish you and every single member of Mano studios , the best of my wishes
Abdul Majid - Same here buddy 😊
Dont worry me and my friend will creat animation or anime like that
It will be perfect combination of action, loss, and funny
keep promoting the culture and language of Pakistan👍👍👍👍👍
I want to become professional artist but my father is saying there is no value of art in pak so he wants me to choose engeenering i have not sketched anything for last 1.5 year im scared of loosing my dream my talent he wanted his daughter to became independent he is write money is everyone's need but i want to tell him that art is field which you choose for happiness not for money it is a passion a dream
Just keep it as a hobby, never give up on it. It's your identity and passion.
Wow sir usman riaz you are my inspiration ,i reviewed anime and speak japanese (im from india) i wish someday i will write my own story hope an animation studio opens by then in india If not,i have inspiration atleast
manny review beautifull btw 25 old :D
i cant beleive on my eyes he's genius like none other :)
nothing better than anime in your language.
Animation is growing fastly in our Pakistan & it's amazing!! Usman, Laraib, Zafar Ali etc they are amazing Artists!! I will also study Media Arts & become an Animator & VFX artist one day InshaAllah ❤️❤️
This looks promising. looking forward to see the movie. Good luck !
As a student of animation, this guy is my inspiration ❤️
Can you please guide me about animating?
Pakistan has so much potential and I’m so glad that it’s blossoming. I’m so proud 😆
We have been waiting for this so long. Thanks Usman Riaz for taking this step forward we really proud of you and wish you all the best with Glassworker success
Keep up the good work, Usman.
Thank you for taking up the initiative to introduce hand-drawn animation to a bigger audience in Pakistan. I and my friends are really looking forward to watching this film. The trailer seems very promising, indeed!
he has many masterpieces in his arms butt the most exciting for me is musical journey of saeen from him......Best of luck Usman..
i am a listnr of his uncle from last 16 years ..well i am 21 yrs now.
Bro keep it up.. I love animation..I proud of you..from Pakistan ..
beautiful work sir usman raiz may you would one day succeed in your goal and your work will be the starting point of this beautiful artistic way
Hamza Bro,thanks for the encouragement.I also want to encourage Mano Team.You put it beautifully that it is a starting point.It is.For anyone to succeed,one has to be consistant,bear the hardships,bow down their heads to the best of the best in this field,the Japanese and learn from them.It will be a continous challenge for each individual of the team.Personally,I think,they need help of the Japanese individuals in this field,and there are so many Japanese who would love working with Mano(even for almost free).And in this matter,Pakistani community in Japan has to play role.Mano's budget would be their greatest challenge and Mano team should learn how to best use help from here and there.Cos anime writing requires long long period.Pakistanis in Japan are rich and generous and they know the culture and language and I think Mano team needs to have close relation with Pakistani community aswell and ready to learn in this long process and ready to travel,sit,eat together with the directors,musicians,and artists,and I am sure,success would follow by itself
Bros the film is releasing this year, there were many hurdles but it will be releasing later this year!
Good on you, Usman and the rest of the team. Wish you guys loads of success in your journey and hopefully your work will encourage other pakistanis to explore and produce handdrawn animation.
I've never like a video in TH-cam you're the first really appreciate your work.
beautiful work
proud of you. ! keep up the good work
Thank God now we'll have our own anime
Well said tho I was waiting throughout the video for him to say ANIME.
Great Respect from all over Pakistan , Plz keep up the food work
The title is so damn good! It reminded me of Clockwork Orange... Though both films have no connection!
too proud of you
First time ever in Pakistan? Praiseworthy work👌👌
And the film will be releasing later this year!
amazing..
I am very glad
Ahhh i m just 17 but but i will definitely contribute to it once i went to uni n have more opportunities. I love drawing anime and most important part i want to be a professional colorist be it a comic colorist or coloring in animation i want to polish it soooo much so that we can compete with japnese coloring style and current art style. Glass worker looks like coloring of 90. But still an anime n pakistan anime
OMG I'm so proud right now..Pakistan Zindabad!!
i am very interested in this animation work ,,, i wanna join you. I will soon apply In sha Allah
Proud of you brother
cool!
One day.......
And that day is nearing
nice beutiful work...
Love your work bro
LEGEND
I have just started doing animation on maya and 3ds max i hope i will not fail
I was thrilled to find out what good quality animation has been made by our Pakistani brother. But one thing is hugely missing: this is your chance to promote Pakistani language AND culture, disappointingly, the Glassworker looks exactly like a Japanese anime in terms of the clothes, buildings and overall surroundings. Please promote true Pakistani culture, I understand your reasons as you explained in the video. But please make next one different..
S K let this one release first, if this one makes money then other artists would flock in and provide many ideas, and I do agree with you, they should add a bit of Pakistani flare, but truth be told that would be too direct and too aggressive of an approach you know, also this film is a passion project sort of a love letter to Ghibli
sir you are an inspiration to us indians too
you are doing a great job
Usman I have written a novel will u help me in finalize it and make a movie of it
I did the same
Release date of "The Glassworker" Animated Movie?
You don't know what you've given me today sir
I'll meet you some day
Nice animation
Finally pakistan and india have made their startup
Keep flourishing both countries:-)
Exactly i m also a 3D artist teaching all about 3D
imagine japan dubbing the glassworker
I wonder what is the status of the movie..
imma an aspiring anime artist.......................im hoping to either join Durga Studio or start mah own studio...................i hope someday we can start broadcasting owr own south eastern animes................Love from India

Why Usman talks like L from death note
Lololol
The setting, names and depicted culture do not seem to be from Pakistan
The culture is a little bit.Actually, It's inspired by Studio Ghibli where in many films the settings are inspired by Europe but the characters speak and behave like Japanese. Here the settings are inspired by Europe but the characters speak and behave like Pakistanis.
Weak audio.
