Who can forget the wizardly effects that dominated most of the scenes in Baahubali! Also, if you look into Hollywood Cinema, there are blockbuster films like Wall-E, Up, Bolt, The Chronicles of Narnia, and Maleficent that show the miracles animation can create.
In India, the Animation Industry is growing by leaps and bounds, hence, creating immense scope for those who are creative and love to create something magical. Here, we are going to discuss some of the reasons why animation can be a budding career for those who want to go for it.
Good pay package
The first thing we have to keep in mind while choosing a career is how much we are going to earn. To be very honest, a fresher can earn up to Rs. 20,000 in India. Mind it; this range is higher than other job options in creative fields for freshers. And once you have gained experience working with MNCs like Rhythm, Pixar, Technicolor or Hues, your salaries are going to be higher than experienced software engineers. If you have 5 years of experience, you can expect Rs. 70,000 per month. If you have a bachelor’s degree in animation from any of the best animation schools in India, and the requisite experience, you might even consider applying for international jobs especially in Canada and Australia. The application acceptance rate is pretty impressive there.
A vast area of applications
Initially, 3D animation was used mainly in movies. Today the usage has expanded and now its application can be regularly seen in Interior Designing, Advertising, Medicine, Military and Police Training, Architecture, Character Animation for Commercials and Web Series, Business, Stage Shows, Gaming, and of course Film Making.
Various job profiles
You can think of specializing as a 3D Modeller, Animator, Flash Animator, Stop Motion Animator, Video Game Designer, Animation Director, Background Painter, Cartoonist, Character Animator, Character Rigger, Effects Animator, Forensic Animator, Texture Artist, Visual Development Artist and more. More job profiles will be in demand as the usage increases.
Learn different techniques
“There will be no such thing as “Bored at work” for you as you can learn different techniques while pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree and also when you are in the profession. There are various 3D Animation techniques to learn like Digital 3D, CGI Cutout Animation, Stereoscopic 3D, Morphing, etc. that can push your limits for motion-based designs.
So Good luck with your career!
