Whats a Kungfu Gecko
|

At 45 Middle Road stands a six-storey building where renovations are on-going at ground level.
Passers-by can’t possibly know that this will be the headquarters of Egg Story Creative Productions, the animation studio behind what will be Singapore’s most expensive 3D animation feature, the much hyped Kungfu Gecko, slated for release in 2009.
At US$30 million ($50 million), the budget for Kungfu Gecko is leaps and bounds ahead of any local feature film, live action included.
While raising that exorbitant amount is one of the challenges that Egg Story’s founder Nickson Fong, 37, faces, he’s already embarked on another one — the opening of his animation school Egg Story Digital Arts Academy.
The building will soon be transformed into Singapore’s first animation studio-cum-school bearing the name of Singapore’s most famous animator, who has worked on box-office hits like The Matrix and Shrek.
