Animation and Filmmaking Courses
Kapil G.
According to a report by NASSCOM, the animation industry in India is growing, and demand will continue to grow. In this era, where animation is a part of education, medical sciences, multimedia, Internet, simulation and filmmaking, there may be a lot of scope for students who aspire to aim at this field. Major animation houses like Walt Disney, Pixar Studios and Turner Entertainment which make animated films, ads and games are turning to India. Advertising is not only restricted to television, but also reaches the masses worldwide through the Internet. If you are creative or want to get into a career in TV, film, gaming and simulations, a course in animation and film making could be a first step. The minimum qualification for these courses is twelfth grade graduation.
