Animation – Booming Career Option amongst Younger Generation

There have been times when we were stumped by the amazing graphic quality of our beloved cartoons. They still manage to take us through the nostalgic train, and make us appreciate the endless efforts put in by animators and graphic artists to bring their brainchild to life in an amazing form, which ultimately defines our childhood. The world of animation and special effects isn’t thankless and is totally unbelievable. These rewards have made animation courses in India from AAFT one of the most sought after courses.

AAFT Animation

Animation is the process of motion created from a sequence of static images compiled together. The issue with young aspirers is that they confuse animation with the job of a cartoonist, and that there is nothing beyond that. This misconception clouds the main idea behind the area of animation, which actually offers plethora of options to choose from such as VFX, graphic artist, game designer, compositor, modeler, layout artist, digital ink and paint artist, cartoon animator, lighting artist, and 3D artist etc. Thus, the sector serves myriad needs of students by allowing them to pick up their desired stream and build their careers in film industry, television industry, or advertising agencies. Animation as a field in India remained static for quite some time, but now it has not only revived but is surging due to popularity and demand of visual aids. Seeing the value rise, various companies now have dedicated departments, or separate company for animation and designing.

Animation is a creative edged field. Yes it requires basic understanding of technicalities in terms of running different software for creating motion pictures, but more or less is a job for a creative maniac. It requires one to ideate engaging and vibrant animations to stand out in the cut throat competition.  Apart from having undying passion and imaginative skills, one needs to have flair for sketching, which requires long dedicated hours of manual effort. After all, nothing comes easy in world! To excel in this field, it is mandatory to have a degree or diploma in the same discipline. There are a number of courses proffered by top animation schools at graduate level and post graduate levels, covering various styles and techniques of animation and giving hands on experience of the industry to their students.
