LaMB on ANIMAX (Mar 24)
"It is the year 2472 A.D. More than three hundred years have passed since the invention of a new quantum drive - capable of speeds up to half lightspeed - (allowing) mankind to venture outside the Solar System. The planet Cerra, a veritable dustbowl 25 light years away from the Solar System, is the furthest of the outlying human colonies. There are no prisons on Cerra. Instead, there is beauty."
The above posted is the prologue intro to Animax's original animation movie titled LaMB [www] - scheduled for a March 24th premiere on air @ 8pm on Channel 84 (Singapore cable).
Directed by Ryosuke Tei (of the former "Furi Furi") with an original script written by Carmelo S. J. Juinio and production by Singapore-based Peach Blossom Media - the movie also features Costume design by Vivienne Tam, and web & concept art from Imaginary Friends Studios [which are shown here and downloadable as wallpapers on the dedicated LaMB-website]. Revered Japanese artist artist Yasufumi Soejima provided the storyboards [seen@AFA'08 HERE]

"Celebrity-clout" comes in the form of Van Nes Wu (yes, tis Vaness Wu) and Joise Ho doing voiceover for the leads, and pop-rock bands Simple Plan and Click Five providing the opening and closing theme songs ("I Can Wait Forever" and "Summertime" respectively) - both of which have been on constant reruns on the telly.
I have beenover-dosing watching a lot of ANIMAX lately (AXN's dedicated all-anime cable channel in Singapore) and the trailers and promos have been on a constant cyclic play. I'm personally liking the background art and design way more than I do the characters themselves, which seem more 2D "flash-anime" compared to the 3D CG-setting - which at times do come off quite jarring, at least to my delicate sense (*cough*). And I'll try to tune in on the 24th when they debut - and perhaps then I'd have a fairer if not more tangible comments :)
Posted below are the videos currently being screened on Channel 84 (in Singapore).

LaMB is an upcoming animated film produced by Animax directed by Ryosuke Tei with the original script written by Carmelo S. J. Juinio, one of the finalists of the 2007 Animax awards Pan-Asia Animation competition (from Philippines), that will be broadcasted across several countries in 2009 in high definition. It is also the first and biggest Animax original production, featuring the French-Canadian band Simple Plan and the American band The Click Five who will be producing two different songs for the opening and ending themes of the movie.
Development LaMB is Animax's first original production in High Definition, and "promises to revolutionize the entire entertainment experience via how content is delivered and marketed to consumers". Encompassing a series of multi-platform, multi-disciplinary, and multi-media activities that revolves around the launch of the movie on Animax, LaMB aims to redefine the entire entertainment experience for consumers from pre-premiere to post-premiere of the film in a campaign expected to last at least six months.
The film is based on a screenplay entitled Laminated Woman: To the Sand Planet Cerra by Carmelo S. J. Juinio, a Filipino entrant of the 2007 Animax Award competition. Its release is considered by Animax to be an example of the industry potential of user generated content.
The plot features a futuristic prison system in which prisoners, the titular "LaMB"s, are sealed in personal containment systems known as "laminated suits" and used for labor.
Canadian band Simple Plan's " I Can Wait Forever" is to be the title track for LaMB, while American band The Click Five's song "Summertime" is also to be featured in the film.
Animax Asia and Peach Blossom Media are to produce music videos for both songs, which have premiered on Animax across Asia and online in December 2008.
Vivienne Tam New York based Fashion designer will designed the dresses for LaMB characters which will also be made into real dresses for LaMB based event across Asia LaMB will be dubbed in several languages for several different regions: English for the Southeast Asian region, Mandarin for China, Cantonese for Hong Kong, Hindi for India, and Japanese for Animax Japan.
It will be shown across all Animax channels around the world. Hong Kong actress Josie Ho and Taiwan's Van Ness Wu will voice in English and Cantonese for two of the primary characters in this year's internationally produced animated film LaMB. [info via]
