Course Fees: Rs /- (payable in two equal instalments) Course Duration: 52 Weeks Course Highlights: Animation system provides one with the tools to create scenes and situations that cannot be replicated in the real world, or which would be too cumbersome or costly to recreate in the real world. They also provide the director with the ability to integrate real characters into virtual environments or vice versa, opening up a range of possibilities. Animation is again in two flavors, 2D and 3D. 2D animation is more typical cel animation as is witnessed by the immortal Disney style. 3D animation allows one to create within a 3D space, and almost no film today is devoid of 3D animation and special effects. Composting is an element of the entire post production process that allows one to work in layers. The ability to do this on computers once again ensures non-destructibility and no generation loss. Special composting software allows the artist to work on a platform unhindered by other elements, and at the same time, be economical to the entire process.animation as in 2D / 3D animation is today getting serious attention from many directions in India.
