New Home for Tiny Island Productions and Dream Defenders
Its official. We are moving to 2 Veerasamy Road on the 21st Nov 2015. Our New Home, our new office.
Exploring Collaborations with Fukuoka
We had a good meeting with the team of government delegates from the Fukuoka City of Japan.
Fukuoka is a very interesting city. It is expected to grow in the years ahead, especially in animation and media. In terms of rent, it is much lower than Singapore. Salary is about 35% cheaper than us. In general, it has a lower cost of living than most Japanese cities. It is well linked to other cities in Japan, and its location is in the centre of Asia. Their government is looking at ways to grow the animation and media sector by providing support. Fukuoka is considered a earthquake free-zone. I am not surprise that someday, it may take over Tokyo.
It will be really exciting if Tiny Island can set up a branch in Fukuoka to tap on the creatives there, to produce a Japanese version of the Dream Defenders story. Its something I have been thinking about for some time.
The immediate collaboration we are in discussions about, is to go there to share our experience in IP creation for global markets. Hopefully, this will encourage more Japanese indie producers to go global and build a whole new market for themselves. We will probably be there next year as a speaker at an industry talk, and hopefully follow it up by running seminars there.
Tiny Island Productions at Asia Television Forum 2015
Our first round of VR/Stereo-3d prototype test for Dream Defenders has been well received at the recent ATF. We have shown it to companies like Jim Henson, DHX Media, Guru Studio etc as well as major Chinese companies like Alpha Animation and Shanghai Media Group(SMG).
Imagine a VR experience where the user can be part of the story, able to walk, jump high and shoot the nightmare monsters in the Dream Defenders world. And even join Zane and Zoey in their adventures. In the next phase, we will work on bringing multiple players into the same VR world.
Next stop, Hunan and Shanghai. And we will see you at Kidscreen Miami.

Visit to Fukuoka in February 2016
The event has been confirmed. Tiny Island has been invited by the Fukuoka Authority to share our experience in IP creations for the global market. Hopefully this will encourage more Japanese indie producers to go global and build a whole new market for themselves. The event will be held at the end of Feb 2016 after our LA and Miami Trip.
Fukuoka is a very interesting city. It is expected to grow in the years ahead especially in animation and media. In terms of rent, it is much lower than Singapore. Salary is about 35% cheaper than us. In general, it is much cheaper than most Japanese cities. It is well linked to other cities in Japan and the location is in the centre of Asia. Their government is looking at ways to grow the animation and media sector by providing support. Fukuoka is considered as a earthquake free zone. I am not surprise that someday, it will take over Tokyo.
It will really be exciting if we can collaborate with the creatives in Fukuoka to produce a Japanese version of the Dream Defenders trilogy. Something I have been thinking for sometime.

Dream Defenders on VR
Our prototype is almost done. Thanks to Edmund. We are experimenting using VR and stereoscopic 3D technology to tell the Dream Defenders story. Allowing users to feel as though they are in the scene interacting with the environment, walking and jumping high, shooting lasers at the momok just by staring at the momok.
Moving forward, we also hope to allow multiple users to participate together. And all you need is a iPhone.
The first stop demo will be at the coming Asia Television Forum. Followed by in China, Kidscreen Miami and LA.
We are very thankful for the warmth reception and friendship we found here. In coming months, we will start working out ways to help the industry here with the Cimahi Creative Association and their government. For a start, we will be doing a 3 days workshop to guide the companies here on IP creation next March. We hope that eventually we can help them globalize their IP by linking them up with global broadcasters and distributors.
