Kapanlagi.com - Amid public scrutiny of the animated film MERAH PUTIH: ONE FOR ALL, rumors have emerged claiming that the film was completed in a short time, only one month. Refuting these negative rumors, director Endiarto provided a detailed explanation about the film's production timeline.

Endiarto emphasized that the creative process for this film began the previous year. According to him, it is impossible to produce an animated film, even a simple one, in such a short time.

"So we started the production process last year. Beginning with the idea, figuring out what the characters would be like, what the story would be, that all started last year after the proclamation," Endiarto revealed when met in the Kuningan area on Monday (11/8/2025).

He recounted that this idea arose from a concern to contribute something significant to the celebration of the 80th anniversary of Indonesia's independence. Together with other creative film workers, they sought to find what contribution they could make to enliven this historic moment.

"We felt the burden, 'What can we do next year during the proclamation to have something significant for the proclamation?' You know. There’s the National Walking Event, there’s this bazaar and so on. We, as creative film workers in Indonesia, were thinking, 'What contribution and donation can we make?" he explained.

1. Post Production at the End of May 2025

After going through a series of lengthy discussions, the idea for this animated film finally crystallized at the end of May this year. During this period, they had already refined the story concept, characters, and other important elements before moving on to the next stage.

"We searched for that idea, and finally found it like this, we had lengthy discussions. Until finally at the end of May we had already refined the material and everything. And at the end of May, we started the post-production phase," explained Endiarto.

2. Not a One-Night Rush System

Thus, he firmly denied reports stating that the film was completed in a month. According to him, by the end of May, the film had already entered the post-production phase, not just starting production from scratch.

"So if the news says this film was worked on for 1 month, that's impossible. We have the material, the characters, and the storyline. So by the end of May, we were in post-production, finalizing it until August, and it will be done," he asserted.

This explanation provides an overview that MERAH PUTIH: ONE FOR ALL is a project that has undergone a lengthy process of thought and work. Endiarto wants the public to understand that there has been effort and time invested by his team.

"The process has indeed been prepared well in advance. This is not a magic project that comes together overnight," he said during the interview.
