My process for ‘The Glassworker’ starting with the storyboards I drew, highlighting the action, character design and shot composition. I like to specify the keyframes for the shots I am extremely particular about. In this case, I was animating these particular shots myself.

The Glassworker is a brilliant masterpiece, on par with a Studio Ghibli production. The hand-drawn animation is stunning @manostudios It's one of the best creations to come out of Pakistan in years.

Loved reporting and producing this! Thank you to @usmanriaz1990 from @manostudios for speaking to me about your new film and @ryangaur from @skwigly for discussing what this means for Pakistan’s film industry 🇵🇰

Pakistan has released its first hand drawn animation film, The Glassworker. The birth of Mano Animation Studios is Pakistan’s latest move in reviving its film industry. But with barriers like censorship and a lack of funding, could Pakistan be the new home for anime?
