The Nigerian movie industry was put back into a tailspin following the death of film director Dimeji Ajibola.
‘The man behind the hit Nollywood series Shanty Town died early this morning, Nov. 3, after suffering an undisclosed illness.
Ajibola’s influence on the Nigerian film industry was profound. He was celebrated as a creative genius and a pioneer in the field of entertainment, revolutionising the arts through his innovative use of digital and analog media.
He worked on films, animations, VFX, virtual environments, and interactive media.
His education was as diverse as his talents. He honed his skills in filmmaking and cinematography at the New York Film Academy at Universal Studios, mastered character animation at Animation Mentor in San Francisco, and became proficient in visual effects at VFXLearning.
