Yesterday, 62 students graduated from our animation school. Seeing that this is our first ever graduation, this is so big for us as a team. Our goal at Magic Lab Academy is to increase Africa’s market share in the animation industry by empowering young talents in Africa with pro animation skills that will enable them compete on global stages with their western counterparts. Currently, the animation industry is valued at $395 billion and Africa has only $12.3 billion in that. That’s just around 3%. We are working hard to increase this percentage to 10 in the next 5 years. We’re just getting started, stay tuned.

Dear Animation Industry Professional, 💡 At 'd'pipelineconvo',we're working to address the challenge of limited insider information and guidance within the animation industry mostly in Nigeria and Africa, especially for those who, after completing their studies or acquiring skills, find themselves asking, 'What’s next?' or 'How do I establish my place in the industry?' 📌 If you're an animation professional, we invite you to fill out our survey or share it with others in the field."

We believe in nurturing talents and life long learning. Including hands-on training and exchange programs is crucial for building a competitive animation industry in Tanzania. These approaches provide real-world experience and exposure to global practices, enhancing skill and confidence. Hands-on training allows animators to apply knowledge directly, preparing them for professional work through storyboarding, character design, and production. Working on real projects teaches problem-solving and adaptability, critical for animation success. Exchange programs expose Tanzanian animators to international standards, encouraging them to reach global quality levels and understand diverse creative techniques. Exchange programs also create valuable networks with mentors and professionals, opening doors to future collaborations. Through practical experience, animators gain skills with advanced tools and technology, making Tanzania more attractive to global partners. This exposure enriches Tanzanian storytelling by blending local themes with global appeal. Learning from other cultures helps animators present Tanzania’s stories in a way that resonates with international audiences, showcasing Tanzania on the world stage. Hands-on training and exchange programs foster a mindset of adaptability and continuous learning, essential in an evolving field. These experiences don’t just build technical skills but also nurture a generation of Tanzanian animators who are creative, skilled, and ready to compete globally, establishing Tanzania as an animation leader in Africa.
TanzAnimation 2 is set to transform Tanzania's animation industry.

My Knowledge Showcase Fellow ID: FE/23/85405578 Cohort 2 Learning Track: Animation Community State: Rivers Project Title: The Importance Of African Animation Animation is an applied art that makes still images appear to move. The images can be 2D or 3D and are created using one or multiple technologies to create a specific effect. A common use of animation is to bring characters to life in a movie, TV show, or video game THE PROBLEM Animation content creators seems to focus on foreign animation than African animation. SOLOTION / BENEFITS With my current training in 3MTT, I and so many other Animators would be able to focus on African Animation 3MTT Nigeria #3mttLearningCommunity #My3mtt #3mttRivers

🇸🇸Did you know that Omaha, Nebraska has the largest population of South Sudanese people in the USA? This is a video I did the art and animation for to help children (and adults) learn the Nuer language. Because it’s repetitive in nature I wanted the animation to be as smooth as possible to help keep engagement. #nuer #southsudan #omaha #nebraska #animation #motiondesign #illustration

Name: Gaya Dzuvamah Abdu Track: Animation cohort 2 Gombe state What I Define as FUN!! Growing up I always watched animation and up till now I still do. It amazes me on how the whole production process goes but with the help of 3MTT Nigeria, IHS Towers and NITDA Nigeria they have made this dream come through for me as I am able to get access to softwares that are been used for animation. Softwares like Adobe After Effect is fun to use when one has fully mastered all the techniques, This video right here is as a result of Adobe After Effect using both opacity and positioning. I know I have a long way to go but with my passion and with help from my tutors and other passionate organizations I believe I can not only learn animation but pass down the knowledge to younger ones. #3MTTNigeria #Animators_Network #Gombe_State #Cohort_2_Fellow

Hello Everyone I am Blessing John and my Fellow ID is FE/24/8532605450 in the 3MTT Nigeria Technical program. My learning track is Animation and I am excited to share my knowledge and skills with you in the august edition of knowledge showcase. Animation is the art of moving images and text. These moving images and text create a video that helps deliver messages or form an informative platform. It plays an essential role in marketing a product, conveying messages, educating the viewers, and much more. Hence,I will be using animation to convey a message that can solve a problem that is common in students specifically in the area of studying. Let Dive in... #3MTTLearningcommunity #My3MTT #3MTTNigeria #My3MTTknowledgeshowcase
