P.Ramlee's Laksamana Do Re Mi: The study of interactive comic film adaptation

Abstract

P.Ramlee films in Malaysia can be described as unique form of film expression. Unfortunately this artistic value of appreciation among the young generation is slowly being decline. Furthermore, some still argue that the quality of Malaysian mainstream films are still not within the standard of the P.Ramlee's era. With the current updated technologies, globalisation and digital natives era, efforts are essential to ensure that P. Ramlee films will survive with this current scenario. Therefore, this research will focus on developing the art of comic adaption from the original P.Ramlee 1972 Laksamana Do Re Mi film visual styles. This study will include the methodology, comic and film expression including developing a prototype of digital interactive comic visual art adapted from the famous P.Ramlee Do Re Mi film.
