Training scheme to cash in on animation boom

SA’s award-winning animation industry had missed out on $70m-$100m worth of work in the past 18 months as the country had too few trained animators, Cape Film Commission marketing, communications and special 2010 projects manager Linton Rensburg said yesterday.

Animation xChange is a community-driven initiative aimed at unifying the South African community. We hold social get-togethers on the second Thursday of every month in both Cape Town and Johannesburg. Animators with vastly varied levels of experience share their work, their experiences and a few drinks. Students are invited to show their projects and constructive criticism and input is given by all. Visit the website at www.animationxchange.org
