New 3-D Gee-dor-dor Animation series to make debut next week
2004-7-29
The ICAC has joined hands with the School of Creative Media of City University of Hong Kong (City U) in giving a facelift to the Gee-dor-dor animation series, which will make its debut on Monday (August 2).
Featuring the flying rabbit, Gee-Dor-Dor, and other cartoon characters, the new series comprises 10 episodes of a one-and-half minute story to promote positive values such as honesty, fairness and righteousness among children.
ICAC’s Acting Chief Education and Mass Communication Officer, Jacky Pang Kin-fu, said the animation series had proved to be a useful means to instill positive values among children as they could learn from the cartoon characters.
“We attach great importance to moral education for children as it is more effective to foster positive values among them during their formative years,” he said.
City U’s Assistant Professor, Philip Lee, said the partnership with the ICAC was in line with the university’s vision and mission to encourage students to actively participate in community service.
He added that the project also allowed their students to put into practice the theories they had learnt in the School of Creative Media.
Students from the City U, who have assisted in the production of the latest series, said it was a valuable experience for them to participate in the project.
“We have to develop 3-D models and give a new look to Gee-dor-dor and other cartoon characters by using the techniques we have learnt from the university,” said one of the City U students, Choi Tang-yik.
Starting from Monday, the fourth Gee-dor-dor animation series will be broadcast on TVB Jade at 5:05 p.m. from Monday to Friday for two consecutive weeks.
After watching the animation series, children can also fill out the online quiz on the Gee-dor-dor Channel at the Small Campus.net ( http://www.smallcampus.net/icac/ ) of the HK EdCity.
