Whats next with HIFA?

Whats next they seem to be thinking

Ironically the theme for this years Harare International Festival of the Arts (HIFA) was Whats Next? After the festival that is the very question that stuck in my mind. What is next with HIFA because they have certainly come to a cross roads. I have been going to HIFA since 2008 and I have been impressed by the festival, always finding an excuse to be present each year. Planned my meetings to coincide with the festival. But after all these years its becoming a bit monotonous.

Nqobizitha Mlilo and the birth of 3D animation in Zimbabwe

POVO: Thanks for your time, can you give us a brief background about yourself

NQO: I have been an animator and digital artist for the past 7-8 years now. At once, I also lectured at the Zimbabwe Institute of Vigital Arts (ZIVA) for 5 years specializing in 3D module for the visual effects class. Starting off in web design at 17, I worked my way into design using Photoshop, but I always had a passion for comics and animation. In 2002 I got my first copy of 3D package called Blender and that’s what got me into the game.

Ambivalence Society – PART 2

Ambivalence, Zimbabwes's sassy animated character

POVO: How does it take you to complete a 30 second advert? 

TAF: because of time constraints and the simplicity in some of the scripts I was given three days to do as much as possible. In that time, you had to do as much as possible and to animate as much as you could in those three days to complete the advert.
