In the concluded Lagos International Festival of Animation (LIFANIMA), which saw animation companies, lovers, storytellers, and animators from different parts of the world in online attendance, Nigeria’s Foremost Animation studio, Orange VFX has emerged as the winner of the Best Animation Commercial in 2020 for its “DSTV Ultimate Love” TV Commercial as directed by Richard Oboh.

Recall that Orange VFX had also emerged as the winner of the LIFANIMA awards in 2019 for Best Animation Commercial with the viral DSTV step up and boost ad.

The orange vfx TV commercial was in contest with 3D Animation Ads like “Canary’s Echo” from South Africa, “Nazir Meets Stonebwoy” from Ghana, “Monster of the Web” from Egypt, “Prejudice” from Nigeria, amongst many others, and though the 2019 edition of the festival was hosted physically at Freedom Park in Lagos Nigeria, the 2020 edition was hosted virtually due to the COVID 19 travel restrictions.

The festival was attended by the creative director, Richard Oboh, on behalf of the rest of the team and was received amidst ecstatic feelings and Orange VFX had expressed gratitude to both fans, clients and lovers for their continued support and trust in the brand.
