Animation Resources


In Kenya one of the things which are rapidly changing in tandem with the global pace has got to be technology.Among the key factors that are contributing to this is the internet. Unlike some years before,the country has been working hard to increase connectivity(reach and speeds) and the fibre optic cables have been a key driving force.
For an animator based in Nairobi,not much has changed.However one of the major benefits any animator in Kenya should/will receive has got to be an easier access to relevant content online and especially videos(tutorials mostly).Sites such as YouTube have great resources for any budding animator.In 2006,downloading such ‘bandwidth consuming’ content was difficult to some but impossible for most.GPRS and EDGE were the ‘top dogs’ unlike todays 3G and fibre optic networks and very soon 4G networks with highspeed broadband capabilities.
If you happen to be in Nairobi CBD,there’s a cyber café on the seventh floor of Norwich union house(Next to the Hilton Hotel)which has very fast internet,adequate for video downloads..Alternatively you can top up your modem(recommended) for a day and download e.g using Airtel's unlimited offer of 200ksh per day or even using Safaricom’s browse with 2ksh per minute(their unlimited offers usually have a fair usage policy)
Apart from YouTube other sites on the internet that will help any potential animator/CG artsist to better their skills,get news on the CG industry and network with other animators include.....

There are also specific sites which usually cater to a given software such as blendernation.com for users of Blender 3D so look for them and use them to improve your knowledge on the software you use.If you have any other site you feel should have been listed above please share with us on the comments section.We would like to hear from you.

and as always, remember….You are the industry.
