Animator

Chaitrali, Take any creative subjects or arts or languages. I would recommend that as you study for your 10+2, you start practicing sketching to begin with. Try to observe things closely and sketch them. You can also buy good sketch books from the market for sketching including shading, shadows, and human figures. However, soon you may have to upgrade to more serious books like "The Animator's Survival Kit" by Richards William. Psychology and Literature are two useful subjects. Try to participate in Writing, Drawing/ Painting, Sports, Dramatics, Music, Singing etc. whatever is possible for you. You may also like to read this about the kind of preparation the best students put into this http://bit.ly/1ddUSi8. Also, do read suggestions on the path to be followed in this http://bit.ly/1hVBJHm. If any good Life Art or Method Art Classes are available in your neighborhood then take those classes (if you are near chandigarh then i can recommend some). Later on you may take up a course in Multimedia and animation or in design and graphics. Arena also offers such a Program Just for your knowledge. Animation draws the best out of a Creative Person. It offers a person to indulge in music, design, acting, direction, camera, voice design, character design etc. Wish you the best for your career. Remember, your Career is a resultant of your knowledge combined with your passion and expression ability. If you like this answer you may select it as best answer or press like.

Dear Shivam,
Both have a wide scope; Graphic design is the art of communication, problem-solving & stylizing through the use of image, type, space, and.

Deepak, If you're creative, you can always consider going for Design and Animation. A good mentor and wise selection of courses with a good school, followed by diligent learning, would get you a head start in your career. However, you must check your suitability for this field. Animation is an art form and a very demanding career. It has ample opportunities for the creatively talented people. Opportunities lie in animation design, game design, graphics, storyboarding, 3d modelling, texturing and lighting, Dynamics and VFX and of course animation (2D and 3D). However, choosing between these must be done after seeing your performance in each of these. So going for a generic course covering all or most of these would be the best way to get started in these careers. Typically you should have good sketching skills to be able to make a sound career in this (if you work hard you can improve your drawing skills tremendously). Nothing but your innermost talent and passion should lead you to the course and the institute you choose. Go speak to people over there and see if you like their philosophy and they change your perspective.Try their website for more details. Also remember that Animation requires good mentoring. Typically go for a school which offers all the information including faculty on their website.

Hi,
* 2-D animation is one in which the characters and surroundings are created on a flat plane of two dimensions, unlike the three dimensions of computer animation. It can be as simple as a flip-book or as sophisticated as one of the Disney hand-drawn animated classics.
* As a skilled animator you need to learn how to bring realistic life to visual effects, 2D images and 3D objects. There will be a need to develop highly skilled techniques by learning anatomy through molding bone, skin and other physical features.
* After completing the course, you can work on full length animation movies or any other related fields such as television, advertising industry, etc.
Some of the jobs offered in the industry are :
• Content developer
• Modeler
• Story Broad Artist
• Character animator
• Background artist
• Layout artist
• 2D animator
• Compositor
• Editor
* As far as salary is concerned, it depends on various parameters such as size of the organization, profile, qualification, experience, etc.
But, still, to give you a brief idea, as a junior animator or trainee one could get between Rs.10000- 15000 per month.
A three to five year experienced animator will get Rs. 25000 to 40000.
And a well-experienced animator who has a good portfolio of excellent animation work could easily get Rs. 50000- 60000 per month.
With some experience the professionals can earn six-digit salary.
Hope it helps. Please feel free to revert. Click on the thumbs up or mark it as the best, if you found this useful.
