Spot the Difference – Real vs Animated

Mining Skills Australia’s Animation Department have been tirelessly working away to create effective and realistic results for our clients.

Our Animation team produce animations that are industry backed practices, this means the animations created are an accurate and real representation of a real-world procedure, practice or piece of equipment. In this case the Dump Truck!

We put it to you now, can you spot the difference between the real and the animated dump truck?

Let us know which you think in the comments section of our LinkedIn post.

Managing Director Andy in Finland

Mining Skills Australia’s Managing Director Andrew Holder has been fortunate to head abroad to Europe whereby he will be hands on with some training.

As COVID-19 restrictions are ever changing it is great that we are back out there currently putting Mining Skills Australia on the map globally.

Andy’s travels are taking him through Denmark, Finland, Germany, Ukraine and Amsterdam to visit Hitachi sites. These photos were captured during Andy’s time at Terrafame, in Finland.

Ensham Site Visit

Will and Cayden from Mining Skills Australia’s Animation team, had the opportunity to visit Ensham Resources mine site yesterday, south of Emerald, Queensland.

Will and Cayden be spending the next few days on site to observe the operational conditions, safety matters and resources employed for underground coal mining activities.

This is an important step when creating animation scenes so that Mining Skills Australia’s animations reflect accurate working conditions and mining environments providing a real time experience for the learner.

Thank you again Ensham Resources for the opportunity to visit site and collaborate.

Animation Team Graduate University

In August, our Animators at Mining Skills Australia graduated from University.

Our Animators at Mining Skills Australia studied a Bachelors Degree in Animation at SAE Institute.

This was a full time 2 year (6 Trimester) fast tracked Bachelor’s Degree, teaching all the skills required to become an industry ready animator.

Some of these skills included: working to client technical specification, understanding and use of multiple programs used in the animation pipeline and how to create original content/media.

This degree also allowed for the exploration of different majors including, character animation, 3D modelling and Visual Effects. This means that our animators have significant skills which contribute to the quality and efficiency of our Animation Department.

On behalf of our Directors and team at Mining Skills Australia congratulations we are very proud of you all on your achievement!!

Animation Explosion

This week at Mining Skills Australia, the Animation Department have been busy developing new visual special effect techniques.

These techniques better demonstrate the destructive nature of underground explosions, electrical hazards and other possible scenarios.

Mining Skills Australia’s animations help re-create the possible dangerous scenarios that could happen on site or specific environments without having to re-create them in the classroom.
