“Mikolo” was filmed in the picturesque mountains of Ondo state and promises to transport audiences into a magical world where the impossible becomes reality. The film combines live-action with CGI to bring animated characters to life, creating a visually stunning experience.
The studio is utilizing advanced technology and VFX software for the production, including live scanning of human actors to seamlessly incorporate them into flying scenes. This technological prowess showcases the studio’s commitment to delivering high-quality visuals. The animation team working on “Mikolo” has shown remarkable skill, highlighting the growing capabilities of Nigerian studios in comparison to their Hollywood counterparts.
Pamilerin Adegoke (12) and Fiyinfoluwa Asenuga (8) lead the cast of young actors in this kids-centered cinematic release. The film also features notable actors such as Yvonne Jegede, Daniel Etim Effiong, Riyo David, Yomi Elesho, and Ayo Mogaji.
