Visited the ArtFarm today. ArtFarm is THE school for traditional 2D
animation in the Philippines. It’s where I learned animation, and
first got involved producing animation with a team.
Mr. Nelson Caliguia, principal director at the ArtFarm tells me that
the school is taking on several teaching responsibilities here in
Manila and even in the provinces. Companies and foundations are having
their employees and scholars trained at the Artfarm. These trainees
eventually go off and do animation for local companies - perhaps even
go abroad to do work there.
But as you know, 3D is all the rage now.
Mrs. Mina Caliguia is making sure ArtFarm is relevant in the coming
years by having 3D as the next big thing for the ArtFarm. The plans
are hush-hush but things can explode by next year, 2006.
