In a world where artistry and invention thrive, the importance of art and tech is undeniable. We pridefully bring our recently hosted event, “JUNE COMMUNITY HANGOUT,” a youthful forum that brought 3D animation, motion graphics, and modelling to life, inspiring young creatives.
Held on June 30th, at the heart of Lagos at NEST HUB, the event was a remarkable collaboration between THE NEST HUB and Orange VFX, enriching participants with School Paddy, Africa Comicade, and The Creative’s support. It provided a valuable platform for aspiring artists and technologists to learn, network, and flex their creativity. Moreover, it offered an unforgettable experience, inviting all participants to journey through 3D animation, motion graphics, and modelling’s boundless possibilities.
Event Activities Overview:
Professional workshops: Our company, Orange VFX, facilitated engaging workshops led by distinguished 3D animation artists, motion graphics designers, and modelling experts. These sessions gave participants a glimpse into industry techniques, experiences, and practical training.
Informative talks and panel discussions: We hosted interactive sessions with facilitators from Orange VFX, fostering dialogue with attendees aged 14-40. Key insights were provided by Mrs Precious Lawal, Mr Michael Oboh, Mr Hillary Obinwa, and Mr Samuel Tsombul, while a Q&A segment enabled attendees to engage with the facilitators directly.
Stunning displays and exhibitions: We proudly showcased our contributions to visual arts in Nigeria and across Africa, shedding light on our efforts in cultivating the next generation of visual artists. The event was memorable: food, refreshments, exhibits, workshops, and, most notably, scholarships were presented to Cephus Afolabi and Edet Bassey. The NEST HUB presentation highlighted their role and work, demystifying digital artistry and operations. Orange VFX also executed a CSR initiative offering discounted fees and comprehensive training.
