Career in animation
When the animated Kangaroo mom cuddles her baby with her tail and as she quips that 'its good to be home' kids and their moms alike can immediately connect with the ad. This is the power of animation. I have seen that my kids can laugh as long as a Dora or Doremon or Ninja Hottori's little brother laugh on screen. This shows the popularilty of animation among the kids. Animated films are good choice for entertainment as well as for educating the little ones. Nursery rhymes in animation, kid's stories etc are easy to teach through a cartoon. But do we ever think about the effort that goes into making an animation film or say a cartoon.
I had a misconception about Indian animation industry. I thought that most of the cartoons our kids watch are made at foreign shores for foreign channels and we watch them through a Indianized version of the same cartoon serial. This is true to some extent, because most of the popular cartoon heroes were from foreign lands like Shinsan, Ninja Hottori, Ben 10, etc. But now there are lots of Indian heroes as well. Chota Bhim, Little Krishna etc are some very good animation and they are quite popular among kids. In fact the animation of Little Krishna is really beautiful and can compete with Disney cartoons.Indian animation market
Though most Indian animated movies look like poor cousin of great Hollywood animation movies, the presence of Indian animation industry is felt now. In print ads, TV commercials, in comedy movies, Animated movies for kids we have come a long way. But the career as an animator in India is still not viewed as esteemed jobs. This may happen beacuse in India animation films do not make as much money as their production cost. One cannot easily imagine the effort, harrd work and the time involved. Here time involved to the process of animation is translated into money.How to become an Animation expert
To become an animator or animation expert one needs to have an artistic bent of mind and lots of creativity. So those who do not have creative minds should better opt out this field. A creative person with a training in animation can earn fast bucks in animation industry. The worldwide demand and acceptance of animation industry now hugely requires full-time trained animation experts.Job prospect for trained animators in India
