Is VFX and Animation a good field to enter after class 12th in India?
VFX and animation industry is mushrooming at a rapid pace in India and across the globe. VFX industry saw a flood of many animation characters like Tom and Jerry, Mickey Mouse, Doremon, and many others. With the introduction of animation, we have seen a revolution in movies, cartoons, games, series, and commercials.
Initially, animation and VFX were used mainly in Hollywood movies, but from the past ten years, we have seen in Bollywood movies and commercials. It has expanded its wings to almost all regions in the world. VFX provides realistic graphics using computer software such as Nuke and Autodesk Maya. Apart from film, animations are used in automobiles, education, aviation, industrial production, and medical sectors. But there is a slight difference between Animation and VFX. The animation is the technique to apply illusions of the painting on human beings so that they can move or act. Basically, whatever we imagine, we have to give it a real look. We all are fond of watching animation videos and movies, so there is a proper role of a programmer to make it real and create a realistic environment. On the other hand, VFX is applied to real things, human beings, frames, and footage. So it is the amalgamation of real and imagery things on the reel. We have watched the movie robot, where the characters jump from one building to another, and the number of shots is fired together by a single person. Such things don’t happen in reality, but they appear real.
