We are pleased to announce that The Open Window School of Visual Communication took home four awards. </p> <p> </p> <p>Open Window student Kevin van den Oever scooped three awards including 1st place in the Best Production Design category, 1st place in the Best Visual Execution category and 3rd place in the Best Short Film category. The fourth award went to Annike Pienaar who was placed 3rd in the Best Character Animation category.</p> <p> </p> <p>Although the animation industry is relatively new in South Africa, the demand for highly skilled and trained animators is increasing. Under the guidance of accomplished Animation Department Head Stephan Calitz, students at The Open Window are exposed to a curriculum that follows the latest industry trends. This shows in the excellent quality of our student work, which makes them highly sought after both locally and internationally.</p> <p> </p> <p>The event was sponsored by The National Film and Video Foundation and its main aim is to motivate local animation schools and raise the overall standard of animation in South Africa.</p> Mon, 13 Feb 2012 10:49:31 +0200 http://www.openwindow.co.za/about/news/animation-south-africa-awards/
