As part of its vision to be one of the largest training centres for digital content producers, Orange VFX studios, in March 2021, on its 10th anniversary, launched its Orange seed program. The program was geared at training and empowering 1000 African youth in Cinematography, 3D Animation, 3D modelling, Visual effects, Motion graphics Design, Graphics Design, Broadcast Design, 3D Architectural Previz, 3D Digital Sculpting, 3D Architectural Animation, and video editing at a more affordable rate.

To accommodate more students this year, Orange VFX also acquired a duplex situated at no. 1A Raufu Williams Crescent, Surulere Lagos and another four-bedroom flat for students lodging. The hostel will ease the burden of distance for those who are living outside of Lagos and Nigeria.

In a recent chat with the MD/CEO, Mr Richard Oboh, he said, “this was a significant move for the company, and that the year 2020 had been a challenging year for so many people all over the world.  Orange VFX created the Orange seed program to help those seeking job opportunities in the creative industry and assist those who can’t afford the training fee to learn at a more discounted rate. He also called upon organizations and individuals to support the vision to train and empower 1000 Africans in digital content production through sponsorship and partnership.

Before now, Orange VFX had trained over 300 students since 2013 at its current production office. However, in an expansion move, had to acquire new space for training and its head office.

The new training centre has since then launched programs like the Orange seed summer school for Teens and Pre-teens and has also hired more trainers who are teaching various aspects of digital content production, ranging from 3D Animation to Visual effects (vfx), Motion Graphics design, Graphics design, Photography and Photo-Editing, Cinematography, 3D Modelling, and many more.
