Students support local charities by producing animations as part of BFX competition
[...] Students worked on the animations as part of the BFX competition, which takes place each year as a part of the annual BFX Festival.
Students are mentored throughout the design process by industry professionals, helping the next generation of animators and visual effects artists develop vital skills. This year's mentors included a number of NCCA alumni who have taken part in the competition in previous years and are now working within industry.
Mentor Brenda Ximena Roldan-Romero, who is now working at MPC Episodic as a 3D animator, guided conversation around creative animation development while Serban Ungureanu, a Development/Lighting Artist at Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), aided students as a lighting and look development mentor.
