Hehehehe. When they were screaming "CHANGE! CHANGE!!" y'all just bought it. You never bothered to ask for details on how they'll achieve it.
HELLO!!!!
Somebody never showed for a debate. That's where you would have known if he knew about words like "fiscal policy" "single/double digit" inflation" "stimulate" SmEs.
All they could pronounce was kwarapshion. Nothing like "create wealth.
And their excuse, "we didn't save". So cos you didn't save that's why you won't create new opportunities? Even if you inherit savings as big as Saudi arabias foreign reserve, it will still dry up with time if you don't create new opportunities
You could make a short explainer video to advertise your properties. That way you create a picture for potential clients and have a chance to explain better the services you are offering. Watch samples below
All this talk about we not good enough yet are just bubble bursting. We are never going to be at the same level with Hollywood even if we wait for another 10-20 years. Our Nollywood films are not as good as Hollywood but they sell all over africa. Why? Cos they tell our stories our way and our people relate to it better. Now I know we've got loads of African folk tales and myths we would love to see animated. We don't need to be as good as hollywood to start something. All we just need is that first break.
But you can always have a staring point and improve on it with time. Go back and watch "living in bondage" and see how we've come. The thing is the nollywood producers are not ready to risk on animation for now. Yea animation takes time to make and require a lot of details and professionalism. They are use to putting up something in 2 weeks and getting their money back sharp sharp. You can imagine where an entire video editing for a film is budgeted at 150k, now tell that producer to now pay for special VFX at least not to take of keeping a team of animators and waiting for months to finalize the project. I've approached producers with good scripts for animation projects and they share thesame fear.
1 they fear Nigerians (larger population that follow the normal nollywood drama may not find animation appealing or simply not yet ready for it. Who said so? When we consume a lot of foreign animation content?
2. They don't have the patience.
3. Funding.
4. Right tools and skill.
With some of these challenges, Most animators just stick to short videos for now
But are gradually changing...
appealing
wabdesigns: It is not easy as think. I needs a lot of cash and time. No be teeth dem use produced those Hollywood blockbuster. I am sure you don't won't a substandard animation. No one has the money to make a standard animated movie such as Zootopia, etc.
VINJAH: Wow! This is simply amazing! How I wish we all could key in to this to make our country great again. I'm really inspired. #proudlynaija. Moderators pls this should be on the front page to help inspire more Nigerians.
With recent efforts to promote patronage for our home made goods against foreign imports. I figured as an animator I should contribute my own quota to help support the campaign on "buy Naija to grow the naira.
I made this short inspiring animation video to sensitize as many that views it. We need to look inwards now.
I hope the video trends and influence as many people as possible.
Yes. We've sent videos tutorials to some people who are currently making serious progress and we still give support via social media as they make progress and improve on their own.

Keep it up. There is only one outcome to continuous hardwork =Progress!!!
Obago1000: I had maya software for almost a year and didn't know what to do with it. Thanks to julimax I can now make a short scene in animation and model architectural structures.
blueto: But it has been about 13+ months since you have been elected president and why should you keep blaming the past govt for your present and foreseen failures?
The past govt was already diversifying the economy when the gullible zombies voted you in and you came and obliterated the good efforts by the previous govt.
through the comprehensive Agricultural Transformation Agenda program of the previous govt, they recorded many landmark achievements. Through agriculture they created thousands of jobs across the country. The provision of inputs in 10 Northern states enabled dry season farming; and profitably engaged over 250,000 farmers and youths even during the dry season.
Through the comprehensive Agricultural Transformation Agenda program, inflation fell to 7.8% in October 2013, its lowest since 2008, as a result of higher domestic food production.
they launched the Growth Enhancement Scheme to provide targeted support for seeds and fertilizers to 5 million farmersper year or 20 million farmers within fouryears. Through the scheme, they were providing subsidized inputs to farmers via an e-Wallet program. In fiscal year 2013, an estimated 4.2 million farmers received subsidized inputs. As a result, in 2013, they produced 1.1 million metric tonnes of dry season rice across 10 Northern states; and over 250,000 farmers and youths in these states are now profitably engaged in farming even during the dry season.
they launched Staple Crop Processing Zones to support investments in the entire agricultural value chain. there are significant private investment commitments from agribusiness ventures such as: Flour Mills of Nigeria, the Dangote Group, Syngenta, Indorama, AGCO, and Belstar Capital.
In 2012, 2.2 million metric tonnes of cassava chips were exported, exceedingthe Agricultural Transformation Agenda’s target by over 100%, while the 40% substitution of cassava for wheat has been achieved through research and collaboration with the IITA and Federal Institute for Industrial Research.Similarly, there has been a decline in wheat imports to Nigeria from an all-time high of 4,051,000 MT in 2010 to 3,700,000 MT in 2012.
About 200 women in Benue State were trained on how to make compost for farming and 360 farmers in the same state, were trained on climate change adaptability in agriculture. The environment and farming in Benue state got a boost from about 600 men and women in Benue state who participated in training on how to be environmentally better farmers.
they established community woodlots of 10 hectares each in Plateau and Kogi (10ha) states. they restored 10 hectares of degraded forest in Achareni Forest Reserves in Kogi state and rehabilitated 10 hectares degraded forest reserves in Niger state. the administration also launched Presidential Initiative on Coastal and River Bank protection on flood in Asa River (Kwara State). they established two skill acquisition centresto train people on the fabrication of solar -powered grinding machines in Kaiama and Baruten in Kwara State. and so on!
What policies has Buhari projected to diversify the economy? he is rather depriving private stakeholders of economic policy-making participation and turning Nigeria into a Socialist economy instead of a Mixed economy. Are we in a communist state?.
This is what is called "facts". Show me what you've done. Not that these people spoilt this and spoilt that so I dont have anything to show. Those people you are talking about didn't meet a perfect system but yet did the little they can. Why can't you do something too and stop the blame game. Our people say the man that dosnt have anything to say in an occasion when given the mic, would say "the person that spoke before me have said my mind"
LucemFerre: You upload your files and textures in a particular order and send them to the render farm site after rendering you download your rendered files again... That's basically how it works... But, uhmm... I don't think small to semi-medium scale rendering would require a "render farm"... Just get a good processor and gpu that should get you through what you wanna do that isn't Big hero 6 scale or transformers scale or something like that... You only wanna use a render farm for a large scale production....its an overkill for medium range jobs... Which are basically short films and adverts...
I think what we just need is a renderfarm, so we don't compromise quality in order to meet deadlines. I'm trying to see the possibility of sending jobs fro render to agancies that offer render assistance abroad but I still don't know how it works.
LucemFerre: Furryball might be a better alternative... If you're looking for speed... Plus it offers a viewport realtime rendering also... It isn't free but it offers a 30-days trial...
Then again, what is worth doing is worth doing well... All the best bruh
You can operate without registering your studio. No one will disturb you. But you may have to work for a big client or company or govt agency one day, those kind of clients don't pay into personal accounts. But by and large most of your clients may still be normal everyday artist that may not care if u are registered
