S2: EP17: We Are Competing Globally - This Is ADMI ft Benjamin Waithaka
Email: info@admi.africa Call/ WhatsApp: (+254) 711 486 581 / (+254) 706 349 696 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before he ever animated a single scene, he was on his way to the military. But a chance encounter with early 3D software, a friend’s recommendation, and a visit to a small studio changed everything. In this interview, he shares how animation became a path not just to skill but to purpose. Now a lecturer, he’s committed to teaching more than software. He talks about the importance of collaboration across departments, connecting animators with sound designers, and preparing students for real-world work. He stays late to give feedback, follows industry trends closely, and wants each learner to leave as a full, thoughtful professional. He’s worked on visualisations for national infrastructure, campaigns for wildlife, global brands, and new 3D screens in Nairobi. But his focus remains on the students. He believes digital content creation will shape the future economy and encourages parents to see creative careers as serious, valuable, and full of potential. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/admiafrica/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/school/admiafrica/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ADMIAFRICA TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@admiafrica Twitter/ X - https://x.com/ADMIafrica

S2: EP16: Giving Form To African Stories - This Is ADMI ft Benjamin Waithaka
Email: info@admi.africa Call/ WhatsApp: (+254) 711 486 581 / (+254) 706 349 696 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Benjamin Waithaka is the Head of Animation and Motion Graphics at ADMI. In this conversation, he shares what it means to teach animation in a fully integrated creative ecosystem. From pre-production to final render, his classes cover every stage of the animation pipeline, blending technical skills with storytelling grounded in African identity. His teaching goes beyond software. It is about shaping visual thinkers who can direct, design, and animate with intention. He speaks about his student Emanuel, who collaborated with peers to create an African version of a mythological character. That project led to the formation of a working group producing assets for international platforms like Sketchfab. For Benjamin, seeing students take ownership of their creativity and apply it in professional settings is the most fulfilling part of the job. These moments, where the student’s first creation becomes a lasting memory, are what he lives for. Benjamin reflects on the role of AI in animation, the importance of staying current, and why Africa needs its own creative trends. His story also includes a surprising personal detail. He nearly joined the military before choosing this path. Now, as an educator and 3D generalist, Benjamin Waithaka is part of a vibrant network of filmmakers, sound engineers, animators, and designers shaping the next generation of African storytellers. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/admiafrica/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/school/admiafrica/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ADMIAFRICA TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@admiafrica Twitter/ X - https://x.com/ADMIafrica

Years ago, someone she met at a workshop mentioned it, but it wasn’t her first option. When her dream school said no, she remembered that conversation and decided to give ADMI a chance. That decision changed everything. From the first report card, something shifted. For the first time, school felt like a place where she could thrive. The classes were structured in a way that made sense to her. The teachers took time to know her. And the environment encouraged her to figure out where she truly belonged in the world of art. Sifa found herself in the work. She speaks about Mudbox, Maya, and After Effects with growing excitement. What started as a fallback became the place where she gained clarity, confidence, and a deeper love for animation. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/admiafrica/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/school/admiafrica/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ADMIAFRICA TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@admiafrica Twitter/ X - https://x.com/ADMIafrica
