Looking at some posts recently, it's looking like there's a need for the old Abuja Creatives Meetings  we did for a short while back in 2008/9 (man it's been a long time) to be started up again. Here's a link to the old thread https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-63358.64.html . It was a chance for people to network, discuss,watch some animations, show work, talk rubbish, whatever. No miracles happen at these types of events, let me keep it real. Don't expect to come and land a job paying N500,000 per month or some other madness.

But I do know that the team for my studio's current animation project was sourced from the Abuja Creative Meetings we had back then. So  if you are an animator, VFX person , script writer looking to write for animations,  etc this might be an interesting get together for you.

We can host one at our offices to get started again depending on how many show interest. We can easily host about 15-25 people. We might also charge a small token fee. Actually I think we'll waive that for now. I'm thinking we can do it in November, December time.

If anyone's interested drop a note here.

Finally, i'm in. We need this community to grow.

Good to know. Well, let's just see if we can get at least one get together down this year.

SouNdz good! Keep us posted.

@zpixels, Hi!! I checked out your website and sent you an email requesting for your advice for my younger brother who is both a graphic artist and a 3d animator, he would sure do great doing freelance jobs. AdamuW suggested I get in touch with you. I even attached samples of the works he's done for you to check out. I would really appreciate a response.

About the meeting in Abuja. I think it would be great for it would create opportunities for talented artists and animators to showcase their genius. Count me in anytime.

Apologies for being silent guys. We've had a very manic last few months. And the coming weeks are looking the same. I'm still on the case. But of course nothing's stopping people from organising a get together as well. The more the merrier.
