Animation Courses: First Step to a Career in Animation

animation courses
Professional animation courses are being offered by many institutes. However, it is important that you choose the best school and course, as you would want to learn everything that is to know about animation. Animation is lot more that just mere drawing art. There is a lot of use of technology as well.

In simple terms, animation is of two kinds; two dimensional and three dimensional. Two dimensional or 2D is the animation where the image appears flat, while in 3D, the image appears cylindrical and has another dimension. The 2D format is more widely used in the media, as it costs less. 3D format is used more in films, but introduction of new technology has helped to reduce costs drastically.

Previously, animation use to be very different and difficult. Artists had to draw each movement of the animated character and it took a lot of effort on their behalf for the character to look the same in different frames. However, today with the incorporation of software, it is easier to animate. Although an artist is still required to make a certain amounts of drawings. 

In 3D animation, there is use of live-action or motion capture to make the animation. An actor dressed in a chroma green or blue costume is filmed with certain focal points. These points are used to define the three dimensional image of the character. When the actor moves, the character also moves accordingly. This is how some 3D animation in films is done. It is not that complicated when the animation is done on a smaller scale.

Many good artists choose to get into animation and they should firstly look for a good school. Seamedu in Pune is one of the reputed media schools in the city.
