00:00Hello and welcome to another episode of GMW Highlights, where we will be sharing with you
00:15an exclusive interview about films that are currently and will be screened in the near future.
00:21And actually, Ashraf is very lucky today because we have a voice actor and director
00:26from the animation film Dongeng Sang Kancil.
00:32We have Nini Razali, voice actor and director, Ahmad Razuri and Dinda Dania.
00:38How are you guys?
00:39Alhamdulillah, we're good.
00:40So, we would like to ask, in the film Dongeng Sang Kancil, what are your characters?
00:47And, can you tell us a little bit about it, but using an animation voice?
00:53We'll start with you first.
00:57Okay, so my voice is like this.
00:59I'll do a little dialogue.
01:011, 2, 3, knock.
01:03I'll knock on your head.
01:054, 5, 6, knock.
01:07I'll knock on all the ladies.
01:13So, if you're smart, you can study.
01:15What's your character?
01:16I think this is Sang Anjil's character.
01:19Correct!
01:21In this way, Raja Sulaiman will hold a feast in his palace.
01:26Guys, look here.
01:30Let's guess.
01:34Kancil!
01:35How dare you disturb me?
01:38Do you want to be my food?
01:42If you hear it from the voice, I think there are two voices.
01:47Maybe it's the voice of a king.
01:51Or the voice of a king.
01:53Correct!
01:56The voice of a king.
01:59I'm not the voice of a king.
02:02The voice of a king.
02:04If you lie, you'll have the same fate as that tree.
02:13Dinda, what's your character?
02:16We promise to always stand behind Kancil!
02:23If you stand behind Kancil, you must be a member of a gang.
02:28I think this is Arnab.
02:31Correct!
02:36Please, Kancil.
02:39This is my secret.
02:40Kancil, what should I do?
02:41This is my secret.
02:43Kancil, what should I do?
02:44But, I can guess.
02:45So, I want to ask you.
02:47How long have you been a voice actor?
02:50And also, is it difficult?
02:52What are the challenges that you can share with us?
02:54Voice actors?
02:55Yes, voice actors.
02:56For me, it's been 12 years.
03:00I've been doing this for 12 years.
03:05I started from an animation series in the past.
03:09And the challenges.
03:11There are a lot of challenges.
03:13But, one of the challenges that I can share with you...
03:15...is to retain Kancil's voice and character.
03:33Okay.
03:34But, I want to ask you.
03:35For example, you said you want to retain Kancil's character.
03:37But, I have a question.
03:39I'll ask Eli.
03:40If I become a voice actor...
03:44...and I suddenly get a fumble, what should I do?
03:47Should I just take it from there?
03:50Or should I retake it from the start?
03:52Okay.
03:53It depends on the situation.
03:55Some people retake it from the start.
03:56Some people retake it from the start.
03:58Usually, we'll retake it from the start...
04:01...because we want to keep the energy constant and consistent.
04:06Dinda, this is your first time, right?
04:08Yes, this is my first time.
04:09So, maybe there are more challenges.
04:11You've been doing this for 12 years.
04:13Maybe you've been doing this for a long time.
04:15Even though I've been doing this for 12 years,...
04:16...the challenges are still the same.
04:18The challenges are still the same.
04:19Okay, maybe you can share with us.
04:21The challenges are...
04:23...I'm a singer.
04:24So, I need a big projection of my voice when I sing.
04:29It's the same with voice acting.
04:34But, it's a bit difficult...
04:36...because we need to keep the emotion...
04:39...and follow the character.
04:42Okay.
04:44But, I have a question.
04:45I feel like I'm doing an audition.
04:47Sure.
04:48I'll try to ask you this question.
04:50But, I'll ask it in the voice of an animal.
04:53I don't know what kind of animal it is.
04:55We'll just follow it.
04:56Okay.
04:57How did you come up with the idea...
05:00...to produce Dongeng Sakancili?
05:03What kind of animal is that?
05:05I think we can do an interview with Tupai.
05:09Sang Tupai.
05:10He'll get mad at you.
05:13How did you come up with the idea?
05:14So, for your information,...
05:17...the film Dongeng Sakancili...
05:20...was the result of Laskopak's hard work...
05:22...after five years...
05:25...of OPP Kristian Batung Galitayang.
05:27So, for the next project,...
05:30...we were thinking about...
05:32...what we can bring to our fans.
05:37So, the story of our legendary folklore...
05:42...was based on OPP Kristian Batung Galitayang.
05:44Like Mak Jenin, Buang Merah, Buang Putih, and so on.
05:49So, what else do we want to focus on?
05:52So, when we were working out, we discussed...
05:55...what if we focus on...
05:59...animals?
06:01So, we came up with the idea...
06:04...to make a new version of Dongeng Sakancili.
06:23As far as I know, this is the first time...
06:26...Dolby Atmos was shot in Malaysia.
06:29Before this, if you wanted to make Dolby Atmos...
06:31...or any other film, you had to do it overseas, right?
06:33Yes, that's right.
06:34This was shot in Malaysia, at the Finas studio.
06:36Wow, guys.
06:37This is a new technology.
06:38So, maybe you can share a bit about it.
06:41Before this, if we wanted to make Dolby Atmos...
06:46...we had to do it overseas, in Thailand.
06:49So, when we went overseas, it was expensive.
06:52So, Finas took the initiative.
06:55So, when Finas had the facility,...
06:59...we took the opportunity to mix Dolby Atmos there.
07:03And we were the first Malaysian animation company...
07:06...to use that facility.
07:09Dolby Atmos.
07:10Do you know what Dolby Atmos is like?
07:11If I'm wrong, I'm sorry.
07:13I think Dolby Atmos is the sound, right?
07:16Yes, the sound.
07:17So, it's for the sound.
07:21It's for the sound.
07:22To make it more consistent.
07:23That's right.
07:24As usual, we have a surround system, right?
07:26Yes.
07:27We can hear the sound of the waves, right?
07:29From left to right.
07:30We can hear it, right?
07:31Yes.
07:32So, Dolby Atmos is easy to use.
07:34Other than the surround system,...
07:36...we can hear the sound from top to bottom.
07:40So, the experience is more unique.
07:43So, when we hear the rain, we can feel it.
07:47The rain really falls on our heads.
07:49So, if you look at PowerGum, it's like, is it raining?
07:52Yes, you can feel it.
07:53If you go to PowerGum to watch the film,...
07:57...there's a surround system with Dolby Atmos.
07:59Choose Dolby Atmos.
08:01So, we can feel the feeling.
08:05For Nini and Dinda, you must watch the animation, right?
08:08But, I want to know your opinion as voice actors...
08:12...regarding the animation industry in Malaysia.
08:15In my opinion, the animation scene in our country...
08:20...is getting more developed.
08:22Other than that, we can see that...
08:25...our animation companies...
08:31...have the courage to focus on more mature animation.
08:39So, it's not wrong for me to say that...
08:42...God willing, Puteri animation will come.
08:47We'll make the story even better.
09:05I understand that the animation is not just a film.
09:09There are musical elements as well, right?
09:12Yes.
09:13So, Dinda will sing?
09:14How many songs will she sing?
09:15Dinda will sing just one song.
09:18Actually, Nini will sing as well.
09:22Nini will sing with a Russian boy.
09:26Okay, we want to know.
09:27This is a fun fact.
09:30Is this your first time singing?
09:32Or, have you sung before this?
09:34Nini has sung before this.
09:38But, the way she sings in the film is different.
09:43It's not the same.
09:44It's a different feeling.
09:46We have to take care of...
09:48...the soul of the character.
09:52When she sings in the film,...
09:56...she has to maintain her voice.
10:01So, that's her challenge.
10:03Okay, let's ask Dinda.
10:05This is your first time as a voice actress.
10:08And you sing in an animation film.
10:10Can you share your experience?
10:14For me, it's difficult.
10:17Because I don't understand anything.
10:19To portray the character in an animation film,...
10:25...I have to be louder.
10:27For example, if the emotion is crying,...
10:31...in a drama, we have to show the reaction first.
10:36But, in this film, the voice has to be emotional.
10:41That's why I understand that...
10:43...you have to record many takes.
10:45Yes, many takes.
10:47Who recorded the most takes?
10:48You, of course.
11:02Okay, can you share with us...
11:04...how many takes did you have to record?
11:09Actually, I recorded the noise.
11:13Like, the sound of breathing.
11:15Gestures.
11:17In an animation film, if the character is walking,...
11:21...without sound, she won't feel like she's walking.
11:24Sometimes, we have to make gestures.
11:26It's not breathing.
11:28But, it's walking.
11:29I understand.
11:30She has to breathe a lot.
11:32When she's pulled, it's like this.
11:34Gestures.
11:36If the stamina is not strong, it's tiring.
11:39I understand.
11:40But, is it difficult?
11:41In an animation film, we have to imagine the character.
11:44If we're acting, we might know...
11:46...that this is the character we have to act.
11:48But, in an animation film, it's just a voice.
11:52So, how do you imagine it?
11:54How do you make the character's voice move?
11:56Usually, the audio director will explain...
11:59...the character's context.
12:02For example, Arnab is in a hurry...
12:05...because she saw something that she shouldn't have seen.
12:09So, the audio director will explain...
12:13...and suggest a few things.
12:16From there, we'll start recording.
12:19That's right.
12:20Usually, the audio director will ask you...
12:22...if you have any ideas on how to make the character's voice...
12:25...according to the situation.
12:27If she thinks it's okay, but she needs to touch up,...
12:30...the audio director will give her an idea.
12:32We'll exchange ideas with the audio director.
12:34Okay, I understand.
12:35Aren't you afraid that history will repeat itself?
12:42What's going to happen next...
12:44...will be ours.
12:46We have the power!
12:49But, I want to ask.
12:50How long does it take for you to record each character's voice?
12:56How long does it take for one person to record?
12:58How long does it take to prepare the whole movie?
13:02The recording process takes months.
13:06For the overall process.
13:08But, to prepare the film, Dongin Sanggan Cin...
13:11...as a context,...
13:13...Upin Ipin Kri Sambat Tunggal...
13:16...takes five years to prepare.
13:18What do you think, how long does it take?
13:22With the technology now, it's shorter.
13:24How long?
13:25I think one year.
13:28One year?
13:29One year and nine months?
13:30That's close.
13:34I'm nervous.
13:36Two years or one year?
13:38I don't know.
13:42But, I think that's a good development.
13:45From five years, we can shorten it to one year and nine months.
13:48Maybe after this, if there's a new technology...
13:50...brought by La Scopa, it'll be shorter...
13:52...and Malaysia will get more animation.
13:55Speaking of animation, when we did the promotion...
13:58...the Indonesian netizens couldn't wait...
14:01...to see the animated film in Indonesia.
14:04Do you have any plans?
14:08We'll see how the performance is in Malaysia.
14:12If all the viewers support us...
14:14...and watch Dongin Sanggan Cin in cinemas...
14:18...God willing, we'll go to Indonesia.
14:22It's getting close.
14:24I think you can get ready to watch Dongin Sanggan Cin.
14:29I have three reasons why you should watch Dongin Sanggan Cin.
14:35One more time.
14:36Use your voices.
14:38You don't want to promote, right?
14:43Three reasons why you should watch Dongin Sanggan Cin.
14:47First, because Sanggan Cin has a new voice.
14:52Second, because this is the first film...
14:56...that combines 3D and 2D animation.
15:02Most importantly, you have to watch Dongin Sanggan Cin...
15:05...with Dinda singing.
15:10We'd like to thank our guests.
15:15Don't forget to watch Dongin Sanggan Cin in cinemas.
15:18If you want to watch the full video...
15:20...go to gempar.com.
15:23Bye!
