INTI celebrates Deepavali with a colourful animation video

INTI brings Deepavali cheer through animation

With heart-warming festive videos on family unity, friendship and diversity being all the rage these days, INTI International University & Colleges also joins the fray but with a small twist using animation instead to depict its story.

“Rather than a stand-alone video, this year we explored a multi-faceted approach with characters that students could engage with both on and off the screen. Our characters made their debut almost a week ago on social media, and will continue to make appearances around our campuses after the release of INTI’s Deepavali video. Exploring this unconventional route has enabled us to do more than just produce a video but to really engage with our student body and push our creative boundaries,” said Timothy Johnson, INTI’s Senior Vice President for Marketing, Products & Partnerships.

To bring to life these unique characters, INTI collaborated with self-taught Malaysian visual artist Ruby Subramaniam – an active proponent of Malaysian narratives and culture in her artwork, and the founder of Art Battle Malaysia, an event which enables audiences to participate actively in discussing and appreciating art.

Ruby worked with Bawah Pokok Entertainment, a local production house specializing in social media content.

“Stop motion videos requires significantly more time and precision. In spite of being shorter than many of our previous videos, the process of creating characters from scratch, of shooting these palm sized figurines and then editing the story into a comprehensive whole required a lot more attention to detail than shooting actual actors.

“Beyond our own creativity, this video aimed to inspire students – especially those who are already actively developing content – to try their hand at different mediums. In doing so, they develop their creative and technical skills which they can then take with them into their future careers” explained Johnson.

The video was released on November 2 and features deities in Hindu mythology. It highlights the rich culture of the Hindu religion and raises awareness on why Deepavali is celebrated – the triumph of light over darkness.
