Submitted by tracy1314 on Monday, 1 December 20083 Comments
A little bit of Hollywood is coming to the suburbs of Nairobi. Animated:Kenya will be held December 6th at Sarit Center, Westlands. Their mission?
To break the myths about Kenyan Animation.
It is time to break the myth, that highend animation is a foreign art skill It is time to break the myth that all highend animation seen in Kenya is done “down south” It is time to break the myth that you need big expensive fancy computer to do worldclass animation It is time to break the myth that animation is “not a valuable skill set” and is for “kids”
If the one video I could find from their panel of speakers (Jim Chuchu) is any indication, attendees can look forward to a fun day full of smart people who have alot of great information to share.
This free one-day seminar promises inspiration, networking and a full panel of speakers including:
kwame nyong’o
celestine wamiru
gado & james kanja
daniel muli
majiqmud & gado
mike onyango
jim chuchu
wesley kirinya
alfred muchilwa
The seminar was a great success and it was graced by the PS of information Dr Ndemo, who answered an array of question …
most outstanding aspect of the seminar was the disney project that has employed a good number of local animators !! a start of things to happen in the future …
Sounds like a great time for everyone that managed to make it to the event. If you have pics to share let us know we would love to post an update!
