Flux flexes its global muscle

Auckland-based Flux Animation has signed a $US5.7 million contract to work on the eagerly anticipated Singaporean children’s series, Master Raindrop. Flux joins Singapore’s Big Communications and German television company Yoram Gross-EM on the project, which has already been sold to Australia’s Seven Network, TVNZ and Nickleodeon Asia. A 2D/3D animated action adventure comedy series, Master Raindrop is based on classic Asian myths and legends. “This will be the first official co-production between NZ and Singapore,” says Flux managing director Brent Chambers. “It represents a huge step forward for the NZ industry.”
