CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Animation is everywhere—in our homes, schools, work, and
everywhere there’s a screen. It is the process of creating motion and
shape change illusion by means of the rapid display of a sequence of
static images that minimally differ from each other. Animators are artists
who specialises in the creation of animation. Animation is a very creative
media to express, hence it is being used in almost every field. Working
conditions refers to the working environment, stress and noise levels,
working time, and anything that affects the performances of the person.
Situations including the weather, location, time, and tools can also affect
the animator’s performances.
The AMA Education System provides animation subject under the
technical-vocational-livelihood (TVL) track strand to senior high school
students. Technical-vocational-livelihood track offers Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) with specialisation in Animation and
Programming.

The researchers will determine the effects and the difference
between the best and worst working conditions among senior high school
animators.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
This proposed study shows the best and worst working conditions
among animators. It also determines the academic performances of
students. The researchers aims to answer the following questions.
1. What are the effects of the working conditions among senior high
school animators?
2. Is there significant difference between the best and worst working
conditions?
3. Are there significant association between the two types of working
conditions?
1.3 Scope and Limitations
This proposed study aims to prove the effectiveness of the working
conditions among the animation students. The respondents of this study
will be only the grade 11 and grade 12 of Technical-vocational-livelihood
(TVL) track with the strand of Information and Communication Technology
specialization in Animation.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
3.1 Foreign studies
According to Derya Ozcelik Buskermolen (2015), Visual quality had
an effect on representation realism. Participants who were shown visually
refined representations were more convinced that the concept would
behave the same in real life as it was shown in the representation.
Medium had no effect on the quality of the feedback elicited from users;
visual quality did. Participants who saw sketchy representations provided
more elaborate feedback and suggestions and grounded their feedback
on past experiences.
According to Souad Belkhyr (2013) Children’s media products
reflect the cultural values of their producers and the social, political and
economic conditions under which they were produced. Watching an
animated feature, therefore, cannot be regarded as an innocent and
simple act of consumption. It rather involves a complex process of
coding/decoding and appropriating cultural meanings. The relation
between structured patterns of communication under globalization, on one
hand, and the local conditions under which Disney cartoon products are
marketed and consumed in the Arab world, on the other, can be
understood as the main axis of globalized diffusion and local appropriation
of American cultural values and lifestyle among Arab societies. Page 5 of 11

Robin Wilding’s Animation Career Review (2012) The raising of
capital is an entry barrier, particularly for studios that want to produce
theatrical content. Software and hardware are expensive. Venture
capitalists don't see the benefit of films and would rather invest in the
latest internet 'thing' than movies. We need to shape their expectations to
realize the next Pixar or Dreamworks can be created by one single
animated film from a new studio doing well at the box office.
Daron Nefcy (2015) stated that there are a lot of moving pieces to
running a show. She’d say one of the hardest parts about the job is letting
things go. You want the show to be perfect but this is TV and with
deadlines you need to learn to let things go, you can't work on them
forever.
Hannah Nutting (2016) said that animation is a collaboration, and
being an Animation student at Falmouth University is like a big, messy,
stressed out family. Animation has been and always will be a team effort.
At the end of the day, you're all suffering through confusing animation
programmes or sailing through animation tests together.

Staff’s research about Animator Career Working Environment
(2013) stated that most of these artists work in office buildings or in private
studios in their homes. Artists who sit at drafting tables or use computers
for extended periods may experience back pain, eyestrain or fatigue.
While many work a standard 40-hour seek, during busy periods, they may
work overtime to meet deadlines. While self-employed artists can set their
own hours, they may spend much of their time and effort recruiting
potential customers or clients and building a reputation.
According to Martin Castañeda, the rise of animation industry in the
Philippines particularly begin one of the faster growing type of outsourced
work. The Philippines has long been engaging into this industry which can
be traced as early as the 1980’s. Having that established reputation and
with the presence of intrinsic creative pool of Filipino talents,the
Philippines are one of the stronger Asian players in the global animation
industry which greatly contributes to the country’s economic growth.
The Challenges in the Philippine Animation Industry by Sarah
Joson (2012), animation in the Philippines began in the 1980s and
proliferated as foreign organizations based in Canada, Australia, and the
US started hiring Filipino artists who eventually became animators. This
resulted to a talent shortage in the country, one of the key challenges that
local organizations are currently trying to solve. Also, the Philippines lacks

the necessary technology to progress in the field, unlike its Asian
counterparts such as Thailand, China, Singapore, and Malaysia.
According to Republic of the PhilippinesEven a high school
graduate can be an Animator provided he/she has the artistic ability to
sketch/ draw and has good imagination. This is what they call the Entry-
level Animator. However, to be a Key Animator, certain trainings on the
following subject matters will be useful: graphic design/illustration, 2-D and
3-D design, art and design, spatial design, film and video, multimedia and
computer aided design.
Tin Chan’s research “Philippine Animation and Local Artists” stated
that the Philippines animation has finally found its way. Inspired by the
high degrees of sophistication emitted by other countries Filipino artists
decided to try their luck in the art. "ears of hardships and disappointments
never dampened the spirits of our hardworking animators.

The researcher will be using a survey form to collect data from the
students. To describe the profile of the respondents, the percentage will
be computed. Here are the formulas that the researcher will use for the
interpretation of data:
Percentage:
P = F/N x 100
Where:
P = Percentage (%)
F = Frequency
N = Total Number of Population
Weighted Mean:
WM = (∑fx) / N
Where:
WM = Weighted Mean
F = Frequency
X = Weight of frequency
