London-Based Animation Company, @OStudiolabs Launches Online Portal @CGAfricaportal For Animators, Digital Artists, 3D Modellers

Ostudiolabs introduces the first robust online portal dedicated to the advancement of computer graphics (CG) in Africa. The portal is called CG Africa. www.cgafrica.com 

CG Africa will be a lead and influential online magazine and resource centre for the community of CG artists in architecture, animation, game and the movie industry working in both Africa and beyond. 

It will provide valuable resources for both professionals and fledgling artists who need to stay updated in the dynamic industry. A community where experts can learn from one another, share information, resources and ultimately advance the course of the profession. 


THE PORTAL 
New visitors to the site will have access to industry related news and will be able to view works showcased by community members. 

 Users can subscribe or register to the site for free. Registered users (members) will have the ability to create their own identity through a profile page where they can provide such information such as their skill set, work experience and even upload a copy of their CV. 


There are various divisions within the portal that will help foster the development of CG. The training and store sections are designed specifically for companies and individuals who want direct access to industry materials and resources. 

As part of a way to warm up visitors to the portal, a 135 seconds animated video in full HD is in production. The video tells the African story of resilience, tenacity and triumph within the 

CG industry. We are confident the video will be a ‘first of its kind’ therefore raising the standard of CG in Africa. 

The video will be available primarily on CG Africa’s YouTube channel on January 29. Attached are the official logo of the portal and snapshots from the upcoming video. 

We are seeking to work with leading industry experts hence we gladly welcome ideas, suggestions and offer of companionship from experts in Africa and across the globe.
