Triggerfish took its first plunge in 1996 as a high-end stop-frame studio producing animation for Takalani Sesame Street as well as creating some of South Africa's most memorable commercials. Ten years later, the studio branched out into CG, focusing on long-form character animation. By developing a pipeline for delivering high quality material in a very short turnaround, Triggerfish rapidly produced several short films for international clients and established itself as a world-class animation studio.
In addition to co-founding the first national animation body, AnimationXchange, which has over 2000 members across southern Africa, Triggerfish plays an integral role in the Animation Industry with the support of the Services Seta, share a vision of creating a strong and competitive home-grown animation industry. With financial support from the Services Seta, Triggerfish is committed to the development of the local industry through an internship program which provides aspiring animators with the invaluable experience of working on stereoscopic 3D feature films.
