Last year, I was invited by
Josel Nicolas, a good friend and a fellow artist, to contribute for his project
PIKO: an Anthology of Comics for Children published in the Philippines by
Anino Comics, an imprint of
Adarna House Publishing. You can purchased PIKO online at
Adarna House website.
And so I came up with
Ang Kahon (The Box). I already had the story in my mind for quite some time now. Originally, Ang Kahon is a project I've been planning for a short cut-out paper animation like my old project called
"When I was a Bata". Maybe next time. :)
Here is a film version of
Ang Kahon. First shown on the night of
Chamtamaria's 8th Reading Komiks (Anino edition) at
Uno Morato, April 19, 2015. Since today is the initial release of
PIKO plus it's Free Comic Book Day, I've decided to share this as well.
(Apologies for the bad audio. While editing this, my computer was dying on me.) I still think it's kinda weird hearing my voice doing the narration, specially when it is intentionally conceived as a silent comics. Nevertheless, hope you'll enjoy.
(Special thanks to:
Josel Nicolas, Rob Cham, Carljoe Javier, Adam David, Anino Comics, Uno Morato, and to all the contributors)
