This is one job that will allow you to walk
the line between art and technology, with a little bit of drama thrown in. Every one knows Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck,
Tom and Jerry - some animated characters that always delight and entertain us.
Animation is one of the most sought after jobs of the 21st century.
Animation: is sometimes misunderstood
with cartooning. It is the art with which inanimate objects are brought to life
with the help of various modern computer based sequencing techniques. It is an
art that merges text, images, graphics, animation, audio and video to create
virtual magic. Creating an idea, developing it into a story script and giving
technical assistance to it, are the procedures in making an animation.
An animator creates storyboards, background
scenery and pre-visualizations for a piece. They create characters for a
variety of projects like movies, television, advertisements etc. They read the
script carefully, study the storyboard and try to get into the character. They
must know and understand the character. Animation specialists also work with
Visual Effects (VFX).
Daily
Routine
* drawing storyboards and creating models * designing an animated
environment that includes backgrounds, sets and objects * designing characters
* creating each frame * working out the timing of movements and making sure
things meet the script and soundtrack requirements
* using computer software, including flash, maya, lightwave and others
* working as part of a team * working with clients (developing
concepts, pitching ideas, etc.)
How
Animation works:
The Greek astronomer Ptolemy discovered
this principle known as ‘Persistence of Vision’ which offers an explanation. If
images are flashed before the eye at a speed of at least ten frames per second,
the brain thinks it is seeing a single moving image. The number of frames per
second (or FPS) directly correlates to how smooth the movement appears. If the
frame rate is too slow, the motion will look awkward and jerky. If the frame
rate is too high, the motion will blur.
Animation
techniques
2D animation: also known as traditional
animation, involves the creation of a high volume of separate drawings that
define a sequence. These drawings are then traced with ink onto transparent
celluloid sheets called cel, which are scanned and painted using a special
application software. These cels are layered on top of each other to create a
sequence. The sequence is later edited to synchronise the audio and video
content. This technique is widely used in creating characters for animations
and cartoon programmes. A full-length feature film produced using cel animation
often requires a million or more drawings to complete?
3D
CGI animation: This technique makes extensive use
of animation software programmes. 3D objects are constructed using curves or 2D
geometric figures. Software programmes are used to modify the texture, light
and colour of the object surface. Virtual cameras are used to zoom, focus, illuminate
and resize the 3D objects. Important frames are developed to regulate the flow
of intermediate frames. This technique is commonly used to create animation for
television programmes, movies and online and console games.
3D
motion capture animation: is the process of creating 3D characters and
similar to the 3D CGI animation technique. However, the techniques differ with
respect to the time when the animation effects are introduced. To produce
animation effects, sensors from a computer are attached physically to a human
being. These sensors help coordinate the real-time movements of the human actor
with the movements of a computerised 3D character. This technique is widely
used for low-resolution games, Internet characters, live TV performances and special
effects for animated movies.
Computer
generated Imagery or 3D animation: 3D or
three-dimensional animation, which has more depth and is more realistic, are a
series of images/ objects created using computers or any other digital media.
In addition to the skills in drawing, composition and character design, 3D
animators deal with modelling, rendering, texturing and lighting. The texture,
lighting and colour of the 3D objects are modified using software programmes
and virtual cameras are used to focus, resize, zoom and illuminate the figures.
This digital animation has the power to create effects not possible with
Classical animation. Film, advertising, video and gaming are the fast growing
fields for 3D animation. This technique makes extensive use of animation
software programmes like 3ds Max (Autodesk), Softimage|XSI (Avid), MAYA
(Autodesk) etc.
An
Animated feature film, which offers considerable
employment prospects, is a combined talented effort of a wide variety of
artists. A typical animation film requires around 500 animators. India has over
300 animation studios employing over 12,000 animation professionals. In
addition to outsourcing, content is being made for the Indian market as well.
Films like Hanuman, Krishna, My Friend
Ganesha, etc. have proved that animation can make huge profits at the box
office.

Course
Syllabus:
The animation courses you'll take will vary
depending on which school you choose. Each school has its own curriculum and
requirements. Your animation training may also be specific to the career path
you choose. However, whatever your school or specialization, your animation
courses are likely to cover the following subject matter:
2D and 3D animation; Cartooning styles;
Colour and composition; Drawing skills; depicting emotion; life drawing;
filmmaking techniques and elements; camera angle; focal length; lighting scale;
vocabulary; storyboarding; storytelling; history of animation; marketing;
creating a portfolio or demo reel; software training.
A student pursuing a diploma course in
animation and gaming can pursue job roles such as Graphic Designer, Web
Designer, 2D/3D Animator, 2D/3D Designer, AV Editor, Technical Trainer, 3D
Modeler, Multimedia Programmers, Compositors, Visualizers, Content Developers
and Pre and Post Production executives in leading animation studios and
entertainment companies.
Personal
Skills Required:
An animator should have an artistic bent of
mind with a lot of passion and sketching, drawing, imaginative and creative
skills, as animation starts with developing an idea into a story. An animator

knowledge of background art and layout. Excellent communication skills,
patience, discipline and dedication to work is a vital. Animators must have a
sound understanding of anatomy of humans, animals or birds and body movements
and lighting effects.
Professional

sense of humour and power of observation are absolute essential professional
skills.

Scope
Animation has taken some major leaps
forward over the last few years. And its applications are more varied than
ever—from advertising to special effects to video games. Animation is not just
for children to enjoy after school or on Saturday mornings while eating sugary
cereal. Whether online or on the big screen, animation is in high demand. So if
you're thinking about starting an animation career, your timing is impeccable.
Jobs galore: India
has more than 300 animation studios, which employ over 15,000 animation
professionals. The gaming industry is one of the top employers and they also
pay quite well. Though entertainment through film and television is the main
area of application in this profession, animation is also needed in other areas
such as business, sales, engineering, education and advertising. Animators can
also find jobs in print media and publishing firms. Freelance work is another
option, particularly for web animators. Animators can also branch into website
design, CD-Rom production, graphics designing and three-dimensional product
modelling.
A career in animation has huge scopes in
the fields of:
* Advertising *Education *Direction
