Pandemic Corona Virus Makes Mira Lesmana and Riri Riza Work on 'PETUALANGAN SHERINA' Animated Version

Kapanlagi.com - During the Large-scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) period, film shooting activities were forced to stop. Although they were only at home, this did not stop filmmakers from being creative.

Such as Mira Lesmana and Riri Riza who tried something they had never done before. Under the banner of Miles Animation, these famous producer and director are working on the animation of PETUALANGAN SHERINA.

1. Not in the Plan

Animation PETUALANGAN SHERINA was never thought of being made at first. But because the preparation for shooting PETUALANGAN SHERINA 2 was postponed due to the pandemic, Mira Lesmana and Riri Riza utilized the available time to work on what could be done from home.

"This animation was actually not in the plan. But, when we had to stop and couldn't work on PETUALANGAN SHERINA 2 on time because of the pandemic, one thing we could do from home was working on animation. Because we didn't need to be on location, gathering with many people," said Mira during a virtual conference session via Zoom, last Friday.

2. Collaboration with Three Local Animation Studios

The entire process of creating the PETUALANGAN SHERINA animation was done through virtual meetings with local animators. It should be noted that Miles Animation collaborated with three animation studios, namely Langit Animation from Jakarta, Hompimpa Animation from Surabaya, and Afterlab from Bandung.

"We collaborated with Langit Animation, Hompimpa Animation, and Afterlab. We worked online together from May, developing together every week consistently," explained Mira.

"During the pandemic, there were many discussions, developments, and workshops because we wanted the characters to be special for today's audience. There may be a sequel in the future, but there will also be animations that accompany children today in remembering how Sherina and Sadam met," added the wife of actor Matias Muchus.
