“I was always drawn to the everyday beauty of Malaysian life, as seen in Lat’s iconic cartooning, the textures of old buildings and watching the clouds over rooftops,” he told theSun.
“In my films like Horned Cook, Gola and Boys Night in Sidera Institute, I strove to capture a sense of place and atmosphere, layering details that evoke nostalgia and curiosity, much like Lat’s work does,” he said, pointing out that he often draws on memories of Malaysian food as well as the shapes of traditional buildings in the city and kampung.
Adam posited that the themes and the attention he put into his works’ visual storytelling helped bolster their uniqueness.
Balancing artistic vision with client needs
“When I work on independent films, I have complete creative control. In commercial projects, such as those for Mattel or the Siames music video, I focus on aligning my style with the client’s vision while still inserting a specific motion and performance in the animation.
That said, the 26-year-old’s personal sensibilities as an animator have bled over subconsciously through the motion and character performances that he has worked on.
“Ultimately, I want to keep pushing the boundaries of my own animated work and share new perspectives with people around the world.”
Having worked abroad, Adam noted the difference between the Malaysian animation industry and that in the US, which he boiled down to scale and infrastructure.
To compete globally, the industry needs more support for independent creators, more international collaborations and greater exposure through festivals and co-productions.
For aspiring local animators, Adam suggested they should be persistent and proactive by sending their work to festivals, seeking feedback and being open to it, along with connecting with the global animation community. Though not everyone will see similar or greater success, he said his own journey from Selangor to screenings in the US, UK and Japan proved that Malaysian stories and talent have a place abroad.
“Do not be afraid to experiment and develop your own voice, and always be open to learning from others. Specificity is always appreciated, so add bits of Malaysian flavour to your work if it inspires you,” he advised.
