The National Historical Commission of the Philippines and Rock Ed Radio commissioned me to direct and create a fully animated video for the Philippine National Anthem “Lupang Hinirang” (“Chosen Land”) for Independence Day 2012. The musical arrangement is by Francis de Veyra of Radioactive Sago Project and was also performed by Radioactive Sago Project. I had a wonderful time imagining, illustrating, and executing this video which I’m honored to present below. Please enjoy in HD.
Napakagaling! Congrats!
grabe ang ganda ng pagkakagawa nito!
[…] Lupang Hinirang: The Philippine National Anthem (animation) […]
ANG GALING, animator din po ako… pero ang galing nito… pulido
Pinalabas ito bago magsimula ang isang seminar na pinuntahan ko kaninang umaga. Unang beses ko lang ito nakita. Nanindigbalahibo ako. Pagkatapos ng awit, hindi ko alam kung iiyak ako o lulundag sa tuwa, o isisigaw sa buong mundo na ang galing galing mo. Ang galing ng Pilipino. Nahihiya ako na hindi ko masabi ng tama yung magagandang bagay na gusto kong sabihin. Maraming salamat sa iyong regalo.
Pwede po kaya itong magamit sa aming pagtitipon? Maraming salamat po.
Pwede pag humiram ng animation ng ito for my youtube. (Sorry for my bad Filipino. I’m born in America and just learning my language)
[…] It’s not like he was idle for the past 7 years though — he directed, animated and won awards for short films such as “Milkyboy,” “Lakas ng Lahi,” (among many others) and a music video for our own National Anthem “Lupang Hinirang.” […]
I watched and looked at everything on your website. I love your artwork!! I live in the US and seeing your animations and reading your work touches base with my nationality that I do not expose myself so much anymore. Thank you!!!
Hello Arnold, can I use this video for my profile in FB? This troubled times, We need it more than ever. Thank you
splendid! more of these animated short films, please. I’m a fan.
Ang galing Arnold. Super! Goosebumps! It captures the essence of the anthem. I love the contrast of the “ang mamatay ng dahil sa iyo” to the infant, as internally, I got the message “ang mabuhay ng dahil sa iyo”. More power!!!
A Masterpiece!
Pwede ko po ba ito magamit sa project ng anak ko?
