According to the chancellor, good time management was the key to being on par with other globally acclaimed animated shows.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cWe will always motivate the production of this animated show, for example, by providing a supercomputer to produce animation. In addition to a supercomputer, we will also provide other facilities for students to create more remarkable works,\u201d he revealed.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Kedaireka Fundings for Si Warik<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n \n\tThe Si Warik<\/i> animated show also possessed several moral values for the audience to understand. For additional information, the show mainly tells the story of three protagonists, namely, Dian, Warik, and Endog. In the film, Dian is depicted as a blue-haired girl wearing glasses and blue clothing. The name Dian itself is derived from Universitas Dian Nuswantoro, the place in which the show is produced.<\/p>\n \n\tMeanwhile, Warik is depicted as a boy wearing a Warak Ngendok<\/i> mask and dressed in all red. As for Endog, he is depicted as an all-knowing flying egg-shaped robot.<\/p>\n \n\tNita Virena Nathania B.Des (Hons), a faculty member and the producer of Si Warik<\/i>, stated that the show was primarily aimed at a younger audience. Furthermore, she revealed the production held the purpose of giving knowledge and educational messages to children.<\/p>\n \n\tPreviously, research conducted by the Department of Animation at Udinus successfully received Rp. 360 million of funding from the Kedaireka Program.<\/p>\n \n\tThe production of Si Warik<\/i> also served as a platform for animation students to learn before embarking on their careers in the animation industry. Additionally, the production team also attached a slogan to the show, namely, The Adventure of Warak Cilik in Presenting Educational Message. Currently, the Department of Animation has produced a total of four episodes of Si Warik<\/i>.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThrough the mini-movie launched and premiered today, we would like to encourage youth to keep taking care of our environment. In addition, we also expect this movie to educate children, particularly concerning science and many more,\u201d she revealed.<\/p>\n \n\tOn a different occasion, Aditya Surya Prayoga, a student involved in the Si Warik<\/i> project, explained that during the production, the production team primarily utilized the 2D animation design and 3D modelling techniques. This process was conducted to create all the characters and settings of the show. In addition to the modeling process, there were also animating and lighting processes during the stage of production. Adita further revealed that the production of the Si Warik<\/i> mini-movie spanned six months.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThrough this project, I have learned many things, including time management, file management, and the proper and efficient animating techniques. Hopefully, our animated show can attract children and educate them through its message,\u201d he concluded. (Humas Udinus\/Alex.
