6. La Industria de la Animación en México
Realizado por: Gerardo Reyes Murillo - Alumno de la Maestría en Producción Audiovisual de la Universidad Autónoma de Durango Campus Zacatecas
Publicado en: Tumblr y Blogger
Fecha de publicación: 7 diciembre 2022
RESUMEN
Bajo el concepto de animación, la mayoría de las personas mantienen un recuerdo al que asocian y usan como antecedente al relacionar este término, con los dibujos animados que suelen transmitirse a través de la televisión o el cine. Pero el concepto cambia y se amplía en gran medida cuando hay especialistas como diseñadores, comunicólogos, artistas y productores que saben de antemano que la animación es una forma de arte que puede ir más allá del dibujo y la pintura, ya que puede crear conceptos más complejos que simples dibujos en movimiento y pueden ser utilizados para un sinfín de propósitos que dan mayor valor visual como videojuegos, publicidad, videos musicales, contenido interactivo o parte de alguna producción audiovisual.
Dentro de esta publicación se tiene como objetivo principal conocer la situación general en la que se encuentra la industria de la animación en México, englobando el apartado de los videojuegos, la publicidad y el contenido animado para series y/o películas, a la vez que se mencionan algunos proyectos animados y estudios de animación o desarrolladoras de videojuegos mexicanos.
PALABRAS EN CLAVE: Animación, estudios de animación, animación en México, videojuegos, producción audiovisual, arte.
ABSTRACT
When we talk about animation, most people keep a memory that they associate and use as a precedent when relating this term, to cartoons that are usually broadcast through television or film. But the concept changes and expands greatly when there are specialists such as designers, community scientists, artists and producers who know in advance that animation is an art form that can go beyond drawing and painting, because it can create concepts more complex than simple moving drawings and can be used for endless purposes that give greater visual value such as video games, advertising, music videos, interactive content or part of some audiovisual production.
Within this publication is the main objective of knowing the general situation in which the animation industry is located in Mexico, encompassing the section of video games, advertising and animated content for series and / or movies, while mentioning some animated projects and animation studios or developers of Mexican video games. 
KEYWORDS: Animation, animation studios, animation in Mexico, video games, audiovisual production, art.
INTRODUCCIÓN
En una publicación anterior, se dice que todas las sociedades del mundo han eliminado en mayor o menor medida sus fronteras digitales, comerciales y culturales, por lo que este fenómeno, conocido como globalización, permitió la distribución de contenidos audiovisuales como películas animadas, videojuegos, publicidad, contenidos VR e información a casi cualquier lugar de nuestra sociedad hiperconectada.
Dentro de la industria de la animación, hay estudios y desarrolladoras importantes que destacan por crear contenido y obras relevantes, además de que poseen una importante cantidad de obras destacables y reconocimiento internacional, como Pixar, Disney, Dreamworks y LAIKA en Estados Unidos, mientras que en Japón se destaca Studio Ghibli, Toei Animation, y Kyoto Animation.
Todas las anteriores son conocidas en México ya que proporcionan bastante contenido audiovisual año con año, pero en el caso de nuestro país, ¿Existe algún estudio de animación importante, algo como un Studio Ghibli Mexicano? ¿Existen proyectos animados totalmente producidos por estudios mexicanos? ¿Cuáles son los problemas más comunes que enfrentan los animadores mexicanos al desarrollar proyectos en nuestro país? ¿Existen estudios independientes que tengan algo de experiencia dentro de esta industria?
DESARROLLO
Animación
Antes de empezar a meternos en el tema principal, es importante destacar y entender el significado de la animación, así como una breve mención de los tipos de animación que son útiles para contar una buena historia o como un elemento importante dentro de una producción audiovisual.
De acuerdo con Cortés (2020), la animación es el proceso por el que se logra dar movimiento a dibujos u objetos inanimados. (…) Técnicamente, la animación viene a ser una secuencia de imágenes, que, al mostrarlas de forma consecutiva, logran generar un efecto de movimiento creíble en nuestro cerebro. (…) Animar tiene su origen en el lat��n “Anima” y cuyo significado es “Alma”. Por lo tanto, animar consiste en dar alma a un personaje o un objeto de forma que parezca que este cobre vida, piense y actúe por sí mismo.
Cabe señalar que hay diferentes tipos de animación, cada uno de ellos aporta un sentido, un estilo y un acabado distinto entre sí, por lo que hay una variedad de opciones a elegir dependiendo del proyecto audiovisual. La cantidad de tipos de animación sigue en debate, pero por motivos de comodidad, se simplifica una lista sencilla de 5 tipos diferentes, las cuales corresponde a las principales formas.
Según Chauvel (S.F)
Tradicional: Se dibuja totalmente a mano, dibujo por dibujo. Por lo general 24 dibujos representan 1 segundo de animación fluida.
3D: Son imágenes generadas por computadora y es el tipo de animación más popular para largometrajes.
Vectores: Es similar al tradicional, pero usa una tecnología similar al 3D como huesos para mover el personaje con mayor libertad.
Stop Motion: Implica mover objetos del mundo real e ir fotografiando poco a poco la figura para obtener los fotogramas del proyecto.
Motion Graphics: Principalmente usado para la publicidad, ya que suele manejar elementos más técnicos o no tan artísticos.
Situación Actual de la Animación en México
Los animadores mexicanos pueden ser muy habilidosos en sus trabajos, pero aún existen problemas que provocan que sea algo difícil el subsistir únicamente con la animación.
Como lo indica Díaz (2019) en México existen diversos estudios de animación, enfocados a la creación de contenido original. Sin embargo, esta industria emergente aún no es tomada en cuenta para fomentar su desarrollo pese a los enormes ingresos que genera el consumo nacional. (…) En nuestro país la industria creativa genera 55, 000 mdd de ganancias, pese a ello presenta un déficit ya que las exportaciones no se comparan con los pagos por licencias y licencias que se le pagan principalmente al mercado norteamericano. (…) Detonar este sector en México puede convertirlo en una fuente de desarrollo al promover la creación y difusión de contenidos para ampliar la oferta nacional y extender la audiencia dentro y fuera del país.
La industria del entretenimiento genera una gran cantidad de dinero en nuestro país, haciendo ricos a las productoras extranjeras por sus películas o videojuegos, mientras que nuestros propios estudios de animación se ven limitadas a enriquecerse al intentar aprovechar la oportunidad de entrar al mercado junto a las producciones gringas, francesas o japonesas.
Es curioso el hecho de que el mexicano promedio que puede acceder a internet o ir al cine, consume en su mayoría contenido procedente del extranjero, en lugar de tener una oportunidad de consumir el producto local.
Según Heras (2020) “Hay que reconocer que hace falta aumentar la promoción de estos contenidos audiovisuales para que lleguen a los locales, ya que no hay suficientes espacios para invitar y captar a posibles consumidores de dicho contenido.”
La distribución de contenidos forma parte fundamental de la promoción de estos contenidos, y como hay una situación de casi nulo apoyo u apoyo por ayudar a los pequeños estudios por parte del gobierno para captar la atención de los mexicanos.
Como lo indica Mercado (2020) (…) la animación, los videojuegos y claro, la realidad virtual y realidad aumentada, son industrias relegadas en este país, donde no solamente hace falta más producciones y estudios que fomenten estas industrias y que puedan competir con otros países, sino que también encontré una falta de investigaciones, análisis, discusiones y claro; apoyos, becas y estímulos fiscales para lo que se está logrando en México pues aun cuando estas industrias creativas pueden significar un porcentaje del producto interno bruto del país, el gobierno mexicano oficialmente solamente dedica 137 palabras para hablar de estas industrias, ignorando así una creciente tendencia a nivel global y nacional de producciones de animación, donde países que aprovechan estas oportunidades (…).
Con respecto a lo que decía el párrafo anterior, las “137 palabras” Mercado se refieren a que, en la página gubernamental de la Secretaría de Economía de México, en el apartado de Las Industrias Creativas, está escrito en formato de blog un texto con exactas 137 palabras en donde parece que el gobierno está orgulloso con la creatividad que se genera en nuestro país, pero realmente no se puede apreciar que el gobierno realmente aprecie la creatividad de los estudios ni a los animadores.
Algunos de los animadores más experimentados en México están conscientes de que la cuestión económica es uno de los principales problemas a los que enfrentan tanto estudios de animación como animadores independientes, por que en muchas ocasiones los animadores se ven obligados a vender su trabajo a bajo precio o a buscar oportunidades comerciales más rentables, aunque baje la calidad del trabajo.
A juzgar por Pérez (2020), uno de los inconvenientes más comunes es el tema monetario dentro de este tipo de empresas, ya que si bien la creatividad de los artistas puede aportar ideas para crear proyectos desligados de la publicidad o experimentar dentro de la animación para hacer algún contenido original, lamentablemente la empresa tiene que elegir y guiarse por contenidos que vendan, es decir totalmente comerciales y que generen ingresos para pagar sus sueldos y sus infraestructuras para seguir subsistiendo. Por lo tanto, esas brillantes ideas se quedan encapsuladas y olvidadas.
Para muchos empresarios, al menos en México, el tema de invertir en una producción audiovisual suele ser considerada como una inversión de gran riesgo ya que no se conoce todo el trabajo que existe alrededor de la animación, por lo que también se puede señalar que el gobierno no ha hecho suficientes esfuerzos por alzar y apoyar esta industria.
Como lo indica La Zona Cero (2021) Los inversionistas o dueños de televisoras mexicanas manejan un modelo de negocios que funciona de tal manera que puedan invertir poco dinero, explotar al trabajador o contratar a una pequeña empresa y producir grandes cantidades de dinero de retorno al licenciar los cortos animados y distribuirlos desde múltiples canales como televisión e internet. Debido a este tipo de prácticas, la animación, no solo mexicana, sino también Latinoamérica no puede sostenerse por sí misma, no sin ayuda de préstamos y créditos del gobierno
Resulta lamentable que las empresas no reconozcan y paguen por el trabajo digno de un animador, diseñador o artista, por lo que de vez en cuando, es común ver una fuga de cerebros mexicanos hacia el extranjero. Además, hay otros problemas que están apareciendo en el camino, como los animadores más jóvenes que están empezando a practicar o estudiar.
Conforme a Cruz y Rodríguez (2020), las carreras universitarias en animación son relativamente nuevas, algunas de ellas tienen pocas generaciones de graduados, a la vez de que, en muchas escuelas, los alumnos aprenden a ser generalistas, lo que puede resultar en algo descuidado, ya que la falta de animadores especializados significa que el trabajo de animación no puede alcanzar un nivel o calidad alto. Aunque los jóvenes animadores y más animadores sigan apareciendo en escena, está claro que se necesitarán algunos años más para que la animación se consolide en este país.
A juzgar por Heras (2020) resulta muy difícil intentar competir contra el nivel de profesionalismo con el que cuentan los estudios más importantes de Estados Unidos o Francia, ya que ellos cuentan ya con una “fórmula” para trabajar sus animaciones y en sus escuelas, la docencia en la mayoría es “lo mejor de lo mejor” en sus áreas de trabajo. Por lo tanto, lo que podemos hacer, es apoyarnos entre nosotros (animadores mexicanos) para alcanzar dichas pautas de profesionalismo de los países antes mencionados, a la vez que seguimos sobreviviendo contra la competencia de estudios de todo el mundo.
Por otra parte, Medina (2016) “La animación mexicana podría sobresalir si intentara reinventarse al escoger un target diferente al infantil y apostar por nuevos canales de transmisión, como Netflix o Youtube.”
Estudios y Proyectos Sobresalientes de la Animación Mexicanos
A pesar de que anteriormente se mencionó que era muy difícil tener un Studio Ghibli o Pixar Mexicano, cabe señalar que hay un estudio de animación que está siendo considerado como uno de los más importantes en todo el país.
ÁNIMA ESTUDIOS es un estudio con más de 18 años de experiencia creando corto y largometrajes 2D y CGI, además es el primer estudio en producir una serie original para Netflix en toda Latinoamérica, además de que estuvo a cargo de producir series para Televisa como El Chavo Animado, (2006, El Chapulín Colorado, (2015) algunos largometrajes como Don Gato y su Pandilla (2011), La saga de Leyendas (2007 - 202X), La liga de los 5 (2020) y la serie original: Las leyendas (Netflix Legend Quest). https://helloanima.com/
PLATYPUS - Es un grupo de artistas apasionados por la animación, quienes se caracterizan por ofrecer sus servicios de ilustración, animación y creación de propiedad intelectual. Han trabajado con marcas como Pepsi, Discovery Kids, Fanta, Bic, entre otras. http://platypusanimation.com/
AI Animation Studios es un estudio de animación mexicano que se ganó su buena reputación al formar parte de una estrategia de Cartoon Network por generar animación en Latam. Villainous fue la miniserie creada por el estudio y emitida por Cartoon Network en 2019. https://www.aianimationstudios.com/
Cinema Fantasma: Es un estudio productor que se dedica a crear cortometrajes usando animación stop motion. Han trabajado con marcas como Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, NFL, Nickelodeon, entre otras marcas.  https://www.cinemafantasma.com/
Huevocartoon: Es un estudio de animación mexicano muy conocido por crear contenido de humor en presentación de cortometrajes y de vez en cuando crean algún largometraje. Todas sus animaciones están basadas en su propio universo en donde los huevos toman el protagonismo del contenido. http://huevocartoon.com/
The Forgotten Forest: Es una piloto animado y emitido por Cartoon Network en 2019, aunque con la peculiaridad de que su creadora, Madelein Treviño, fue ganadora en un concurso de C.N. y Pixelatl (un festival importante de México) en donde esta joven diseñadora logró vencer a otros 280 proyectos animados. El corto fue subido al canal oficial de Cartoon Network y cuenta con más de 250 mil visualizaciones. Dondé, 2020.
MULAKA: Es un videojuego mexicano, desarrollado por el estudio “Lienzo”. Es un juego de acción y aventura en 3D basado en la cultura indígena de los tarahumaras, aunque pareciera que estás jugando algún título de Legend of Zelda. Está disponible actualmente para N Switch, Playstation, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS. En la mayoría de críticas, tiene un 70% de aprobación.
Heart Forth Alicia: Es un videojuego que aún no ha salido, pero se espera que pueda estar en las manos de todo mundo este año. El arte es tipo PixelArt, similar a los RPG de los años 90’s. El juego se espera con ansias ya que recaudó en Kickstarter 3 veces más de lo necesario para desarrollar el juego.
Kerbal Space Program: Es un videojuego simpático en donde tienes que llevar a unos monitos al espacio. Es realmente popular entre jugadores, ya que las leyes de la física, la gravedad y la cuántica están presentes en el juego.
Sophie’s Guardian: Es un videojuego interactivo que usa la tecnología VR, en donde se puede conseguir de forma gratuita en Steam.
CONCLUSIÓN
Tal y como se estaba planteando al inicio de esta publicación, la animación mexicana aún no está al mismo nivel que las grandes empresas extranjeras como Pixar o Studio Ghibli, pero no es suficiente razón tampoco para decepcionarnos de nuestro nivel, que si bien puede ser precario, que las empresas siguen realizando tratos desafortunados y las empresas aún estamos a tiempo para empezar a realizar a exigir cambios, para demostrar que los estudios de animación y los animadores merecemos mejores apoyos y becas del gobierno, mejores oportunidades para crecer como artistas.
Los animadores independientes o los pequeños grupos están empezando a crear su portafolio para conseguir su propios clientes y experiencia sin la necesidad de buscar empleo con una empresa más grande.
Al final cada animador aportará su grano de arena, ya sea creando series, videojuegos, corto o largometrajes de animación, para hacer florecer nuestra débil industria de animación nacional. Además, estaría perfecto, que las personas de nuestra nación, eliminaran el malinchismo que aún persiste cuando se habla sobre contenidos audiovisuales, ya que es erróneo pensar que todo lo hecho en México. No está bien logrado o producido.

CINTAA-ICMEI collaborate, strengthen ties with MoU
Tumblr media
MUMBAI: The Cine and TV Artistes Association (CINTAA) and International Chamber of Media and Entertainment Industry (ICMEI) have collaborated with each other for the fulfilment of their respective aims and objectives by signing a MoU on 26th February at 3 pm at the office of CINTAA in Andheri.
As per the agreement, ICMEI will provide office space to CINTAA at their premises located at Marwah Studio, Noida to carry on its activities in the Delhi NCR and North India region.
CINTAA on its part will provide work permit cards to the diploma and degree holders in acting of Asian Academy of Film & Television (AAFT) and AAFT University on payment of applicable admission fee and annual charges.
Says Amit Behl, Hon General Secretary, CINTAA, “Due to the pandemic, a lot of our members and actors have relocated to other places, states that are offering subsidies. Hence this collaboration offers an alternate centre of member relief and also helps cleanse the ecosystem wherein producers, broadcasters and the media and entertainment industry benefit. It is two well-meaning organisations coming together at the right time. The MoU aims to strengthen ties and pave the way for a robust future.”
Ashok Tyagi, Secretary General of ICMEI averred, “it is a historic MOU which is relating CINTAA, which is an International association of actors with the AAFT University of Media and Arts through International Chamber of Media and Entertainment Industry (ICMEI). It is the recognition of the fact that acting is not merely a skill but also an academic art. The MOU will give the social recognition to the profession of acting which was long overdue to it.”
Sandeep Marwah, Chancellor, AAFT University of Media and Arts and Founder, Marwah Studios, Film City, Noida, said “We are proud to be associated with CINTAA. I am sure together we will be able to bring in massive changes in creative education and especially in acting. The input from CINTAA members is going to be the most authentic and full of experience. We invite members to visit and see for themselves how we are organised.”
This move will go a long way in benefiting actors from the northern regions as they can now easily reach out to CINTAA.

Moving documentaries confront Armenian Genocide on PBS in Montreal, Fresno in April
New Post has been published on https://armenia.in-the.news/society/moving-documentaries-confront-armenian-genocide-on-pbs-in-montreal-fresno-in-april-71838-10-04-2021/
Moving documentaries confront Armenian Genocide on PBS in Montreal, Fresno in April
Tumblr media Tumblr media
With the 106th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide on April 24, a pair of moving, personal documentaries shed light on the lasting trauma, coming soon to PBS stations in Montreal and Fresno. These wounds were reopened by the recent war between Azerbaijan, backed by Turkey, and the Armenians in the contested region of Nagorno-Karabakh, also known as Artsakh, Asbarez reports.
“100 Years from Home,” produced by Lilit Pilikian and directed by Jared White, airs on Montreal’s Mountain Lake PBS on Sunday, April 18 at 5 p.m. ET. “What Will Become of Us,” directed by Stephanie Ayanian and Joseph Myers, follows directly after at 6:30 p.m. ET.
Making its California Central Valley premiere, “100 Years from Home” airs on Fresno’s Valley PBS on Thursday, April 22 at 7 p.m. PT with an encore broadcast on Saturday, April 24 at 7 p.m PT, coinciding with the anniversary of the genocide. “What Will Become of Us” follows directly after both broadcasts at 8:30 p.m. PT.
Quebec is home to one of the largest Armenian communities in the world. In October 2020, Montreal’s Armenian community joined thousands across Canada and around the world in protests against Azerbaijani aggression in Artsakh which resulted in thousands of deaths.
Thousands of Armenian immigrants flocked to Fresno and the broader Central Valley in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, making it one of the largest and oldest communities in the United States. Prominent Armenians from the area include “Alvin and the Chipmunks” creator Ross Bagdasarian, college basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian, businessman and owner of the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas Kirk Kerkorian, and perhaps most notably writer William Saroyan.
“100 Years from Home” follows Pilikian’s journey as she searches for her great-grandparents’ house in modern-day Kars, Turkey, which they were forced to abandon over a century ago during the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire that killed over 1.5 million Armenians during and after World War I. In a chilling parallel, many Armenian refugees in Artsakh today have lost their homes as a result of the most recent war.
“What Will Become of Us” is a forward-looking feature documentary produced for public television distribution that speaks to the many immigrant communities who have experienced trauma. Today, often unrecognized, these tragic events create a burden for the younger generation, discouraging them from taking up their culture.
To bring their story to life, Ayanian collaborated with long-time filmmaking partner Joseph Myers. Myers, being of Jewish decent, had an immediate connection to the story. Ayanian, whose grandparents survived the Genocide, said, “My desire as a filmmaker is to make their sacrifices count.”
In “100 Years from Home,” the blueprint for the long-lost house was passed down from generation-to-generation until finally ending up in the hands of Pilikian. She and her filmmaker husband Jared White embarked on an emotional journey to Armenia to document the tens of thousands who marched to the Tsitsernakaberd Genocide Memorial in Yerevan, Armenia on the 100th anniversary of the Genocide before venturing to Turkey in search of the house.
Turkey’s continued denial of the Armenian Genocide adds to the grief for Armenians around the world, and its lasting impact on the descendants of survivors is a sentiment that is shared by many sources throughout both films. The First Nagorno-Karabakh War in 1994 led to the closure of the Turkish Armenian border. As a result, Pilikian could only enter Turkey by way of neighboring country Georgia.
Hatred of Armenians is still very common today in Turkey, which caused apprehension for Pilikian. She was stopped for a length of time upon reaching the Turkish border because of a Nagorno-Karabakh stamp in her passport, further fueling her anxiety.
The two films shed light on the United States’ role in providing humanitarian relief during the Genocide, followed by a century of virtual silence on the matter until the U.S. Congress passed resolutions recognizing it at the end of 2019. Canada officially recognized the Armenian Genocide in 2004.
“What Will Become of Us” features slice-of-life stories with singer/songwriter Sebu Simonian of Capital Cities, housewares designer/artist Michael Aram, comedian Lory Tatoulian, political activist Aram Hamparian, John and Annie Sweers who travel to Armenia for the first time through Birthright Armenia and Armenian Volunteer Corps, and Fresno musician Richard Hagopian, a cultural icon in the community, who plays a lute-like string instrument called the oud, preserving historic Armenian folk music and passing on the techniques he’s mastered to a new generation by way of his grandson Andrew.
“100 Years from Home” features interviews with Central Valley-born historian and UCLA professor emeritus Richard Hovannisian, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, social critic Vahe Berberian, documentarian Carla Garapedian, Armenian studies scholar Shushan Karapetian, and Archbishop Pargev Martirosyan of the Armenian Apostolic Church in Artsakh.
Many of the subjects come away from the experience with a much stronger sense of themselves and their heritage. The filmmakers hope to raise awareness for Armenian issues in order to prevent further tragedies. “In light of what’s happening in Artsakh, I believe it’s more important than ever to be sharing Armenian stories,” said Pilikian.
