KUALA LUMPUR: Money is a major factor in the development of computer-generated imagery (CGI) technology in Malaysia, said Burhanuddin Md Radzi, managing director of Les' Copaque Production Sdn Bhd.
He said local producers could do better if they were willing to invest more in their work.
Still, films like Cicakman 1 and 2, Antoo Fighter and Duyung are proving that Malaysian film-makers are capable of putting CGI on the silver screen.
The local film with the most extensive use of CGI today is Cicakman 2 Planet Hitam, with 800 shots.
"Unfortunately, we are still lagging in the technology, compared with other countries," said Burhanuddin.
Les' Copaque was the first company set up by a Bumiputera to focus on CGI. Its first film, Geng, is a fully CGI film.
"The cost for the 103-minute film was RM4 million and it took us three years to complete."
Geng is expected to open nationwide in February and will be submitted to France's Aneccy Animation Festival in June.
