- Usman Riaz is the founder of Mano Animation Studios, Pakistan's first hand-drawn animation studio. Through his work at Mano, Usman is combining his love for Japanese animation and honoring the craft of hand-drawn animation made famous by Walt Disney Animation. Bringing animation to a country with no background in the art was a struggle which presented many problems and difficulties. However, through passion and perseverance, Usman hopes to be able to lay the foundation for an animation industry in Pakistan.
ウスマーン・レアーズはパキスタンで初めてのセルアニメスタジオであるMano Animation Studiosの創設者であり、日本のアニメへの愛と、ウォールトディズニーアニメによるセルアニメの技術への尊敬を持ってManoでの制作活動を行っている。アニメのバックグラウンドのない祖国にアニメを広めることは多くの問題と困難を伴ったが、ウスマンは情熱と忍耐を持って取り組んでおり、いつかパキスタンにアニメーション産業の基盤を築ける日が来ることを願っている。
Usman Riaz is an artist, composer and animator residing in Karachi, Pakistan. At the age of 20 Usman was selected to be a TED Fellow and attended the TEDGlobal 2012 in Edinburgh to showcase his work on music and art in Pakistan. Using TED as a platform, Usman pursued his love for hand-drawn animation and his dream of bringing traditional animation to Pakistan. Usman grew up watching famous animated works from Japan and his love for animation was sparked by the films of Studio Ghibli. Japanese animation motivated him to start his own hand- drawn animation studio: Mano. Mano Animation Studios is currently working on their first hand-drawn animated film ‘The Glassworker’ with a team of creatives from Pakistan, Malaysia, South Africa, the U.S, the U.K and Japan. Hand-drawn animation has never been attempted in Pakistan, but the team Usman has formed is moving forward with the passion and love the craft deserves. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Now he's about to release Pakistan's first hand-animated movie!
bringing a new revolution in Pakistan with "The Glassworker" , hats off to Usman RIaz
I'm a Pakistani who was so passionate about animation. I had books and books of my drawings. To go to japan and join a studio was a dream - ie impossible.
And so I went to med school.
To see this opportunity arise, and to see it IN pakistan; it warms my heart. Our country is growing and learning and believing in itself more and more - so thank you Usman, for being a pioneer in a field where everyone is so scared to enter
More than half of Pakistan's talent is poured into Med school ngl
more like wasted
There is soo much possibilities and options but everyone is blinded into medical@@aquamarine245
From your guitar playing skills to the animation and anything you've done for the industry is a real inspiration for the youth of Pakistan, together we can build this country great again, Bloom Where You Are Planted

Truly amazing wow
He did it!!!! Loved the movie
Oh my God, he is simply genius,
The word genius tends to imply some unique kind of magic ability. I'd say he's passionate and dilligent, like his peers. No magic but hard work of people.
And to think I thought it was to late to become a great and impactful animator I’m 19 and I always wanted to do animation but I think it’s too late for me

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
John 3:36
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 6:23
Jesus Christ is the only way, seek Him while He may be found, before it’s too late, tomorrow is never promised.

It's boring janab ..next time choose a professional movie director.
Please make something that you can call yours. Stop making Ghibli knockoff
if you don't have knowledge about art shut up
@@staravys oh just shut up already!
I loved that pakistan is doing something in cartoon or anime. But that’s knock off Ghibli !!!!
Now if you want to have some knowledge about go check Ghibli online !!!!!!!
@@zenobiakhan5665It's not a knockoff of studio Ghibli, he said it himself that HE WAS INSPIRED BY THE STUDIO GHIBLI AND THIS IS A TRIBUTE TO MIYAZAKI Who has already retired. If you still can't understand then do you, I have no interest in someone who doesn't know the difference between inspiration and downright copying.
@@user-hn6tx5hp1v Miyazaki is still working on his new movie. I don’t have time to waste here. There’s a difference between inspiration and coping everything.
I’m happy Pakistan is moving forward in other fields but this movie is not representing Pakistan.
I don't see how it's a flatout ghibli knockoff. I think the reason you might think its a knockoff is because of the hand-drawn style. Of course it takes inspiration from Ghibli yes, but The Glassworker has definitely turned it into its own personal style. It is incredibly modern yet very organic. That's very obvious from the trailers, and Mano Animation has done a fantastic job at introducing a Pakistani touch into their artwork as well
If you call TG a rip-off, you might as well call every anime show a rip-off. Ghibli doesn't have a right over their style. You can see that they haven't copied anything, just that inspiration has been taken
