RESEARCH AND FINAL YEAR PROJECT

RESEARCH ON MALAY TRADITIONAL WEAPON DESIGN (TERAKOL)  IN 2D ANIMATION

1.0 INTRODUCTION CHAPTER

This chapter discusses the importance of preserving the traditional weapon of malay weapon "Terakol" in the Malay community. There are various ways to document information obtained from oral sources into text form.The resource gathered can be presented in the form of animation.

  

1.1 DESIGN

 

1.2.1. Queen Anne Design

Queen Anne pistols are a type of flintlock pistol distinguished by the lockplate being forged in one piece with the breech and the trigger plate. They are usually a breech-loading design known as a turn-off pistol. Possibly first made in England^[1] and certainly achieving relatively little popularity elsewhere, they came in fashion in England during the reign of Anne, Queen of Great Britain, hence the name. Though made in all sizes up to carbine, they were usually made in the size range known as coat pocket pistols or coat pistols, easy to conceal on one's person. A small version, known as a Toby or muff pistol, was able to be concealed in a smaller pocket or a ladies hand warmer muff.
Other types of pistol are often referred to as "Queen Anne", but to hopefully improve consistency in nomenclature the term is used here only to refer the "integral breech" lock ( Burgoyne, 2002)

1.2.2 Malay Terakol Design

Traditional designs carved by the skills possessed by the Malay race displayed on each Terakol gun. Even a special design for the aristocracy and royal lineage also became the pride of the Malay archipelago throughout the period. . The mouth of the chimney design Terakol often engraved with carvings of animals shaped like the mouth of the mighty tiger, dragon or snake. Terakol usually very short, with a barrel less than 60 cm (two feet), at a time when the barrel of a muzzleloader usually exceed 90 cm (three feet) .A source described the weapons of the early to mid-17th century, long lists breasted adjustable Terakol wheel (wheel lock) in just about 28 cm (eleven inches), compared to 41 cm (sixteen inches) long for the blunderbuss or other types of guns. (Lenk, 2007)

1.3 PROBLEM STATEMENT

  In the era of rapid modernization Malaysians especially the Malays do not know that the Malays are in fact already have sophisticated weapons. Even all these weapons, foreign touted for the Malay race itself, has its own Malay term, between one such example of traditional weapons Terakol. Therefore, Terakol design was applied in the form of animation to awaken again about the existence of traditional Malay weapons.

1.4 RESEARCH OBJECTIVES

· Examine the design of Malay traditional weapon, Terakol.

· Analyze the design of Malay traditional weapon, Terakol.

· Produce 2D animation on traditional Malay weapons, Terakol.

 

1.5 SCOPE OF STUDY

      The scope of study for this research focused on traditional Malay weapons that is Terakol weapons. To obtain documentation through animation applications that meet the objectives, the scope of the study in the use of applications / software also preferred to achieve the objectives of the study.

1.6 RESEARCH INTEREST

 - To recognize the real function of Malay traditional weapons, Terakol especially for combat. 

 -  Introducing the Malay race about the greatness of the Malay weapon through 2d animated stories.
