ANIMETION

SOMONE ASK ME ABOUT ANIMATION CORSE THAT FROM WHERE ONE SHOULD DO THIS CORSES I HAVE A REFRENCE ARTICAL MAY BE ITS HELP

FIRST of all dear friend, ALL these private institutes have hidden agendas. There is no hidden agenda in NID as they have chosen you to be a torchbearer in that discipline to meet the best requirements for an animation FILM MAKER. You graduate as FILM MAKER and not just an ANIMATOR. as a PURE animator, yes MAAC, all these other schools will give you an inotroduction to the medium, introduce you to the "WONDERFUL" world of 3d and its highly complex OVERDONE OVERRATED counterparts. Based on these skills you can work as an ANIMATOR in several companies if it is really a good job scene there. If you're looking for employment as just an ANIMATOR, then firstly noone cares WHERE you've graduated from , it could be canada, u.k. or mars. Because the skills are instantly evident by SOLELY your portfolio, it really really really doesnt matter. The animation ball is almost always lying in your court. And im saying, if you come out of NID, you come out as a FILM MAKER as a STORYTELLER. Are you content with working one someone elses content for years and years as long as you get to USE the medium? Are you happy with being handed down storybaords, charachters and keyframes for you to fill up those in betweens. If yes, then you're willing to be a labour intensive WORKER of a third world country satisfied with the thrills executing someone elses work. But if you are a STORYTELLER and see animation as a medium of YOUR expression(a strong inclination to creative expression is indicated ie) instead of a means of earning solely, then please try NID. WHY are you giving up NID even before trying. This test requires NO preparation and ive gotten in first for new media and then i quit and gave it again for aniamtion and i got in again but i decided not to spend anymore time on formal education so i quit. Its really not as diffu\icult as you think, you think it is because thats the way indian education system has made you. NID has much broader scopes of identifying your strenghts for this course. My personal warning is, no doubt maac arena etc will promise many things, but the animator's ball is always in his/her court after the basics. Realize they, the private insitutions, do not have any ideological bearings to serve YOU as much as serve themselves unlike NID which is government aided and sticks to 10 student orthodox intake for its non profit endeavours. Do not be tempted by so called, jobs at CREST/DISNEY etc where you'll 99% be working on someone elses ideas (that too if youre lucky) or for all we know, putting fur on some carpet or scales on some octopus from across the atlantic. Animation as a skill, requires LOTS of time and patience, and only NID with its post grad 2.5 yr program and similar places with dedicated curriculum can help you be a well rounded animator. Also if you're not getting to animate, dont get swayed by all these mighty fantastic worlds of maya/3d etc just because some matrixes or some shreks came out of it. Tell me, how uch is it going to be if i give you my recipe and my kitchen and ask you to just cook and i dont care what you think as long as you give me whats there on that paper, exactly at that time? As a balancing act, career in animation after maac etc is something im not sure of and i dont know, if you can manage this balancing act of doing your skill oriented tasks in your private lmtd. and build up your own creatures in the attic privately, if you're capable of taht , only then id advise you either MAAC or any other lucrative "career" in animation. Dont be tempted by the CREDENTIALS of your CEO or DIRECTOR. In animation, it usually ends up with you looking at yourself in the mirror saying, no where the hell do we go?? Else plaese dont give up on NID even without trying if your reasons are not valid enough to stop you from pursuing your heart.If by the strenght of your portfolio you can get a job in any "good" aniamtion firms in india, then see if you can join as a trainee and learn on your job. Else if you want to be a film maker and you think fiolm language is not inehrent in you, then take up GOOD formal training, either NID or IDC(which has a very good if not best animation faculty called Shilpa Ranade)However dont be in a rush, sit back on that lounge , take a deep breathe and consider all your options. I wanted to do animation because i have ridiculous goals like having my characeters beam down on 1 million homes for people to SEE and get entertained. Whats your goals in animation? And please, start thinking as a FILMMAKER and not just another fun loving animator. the chef and the cook are different.
