FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) - Career Design School Animation Courses

Animation is the technique of making drawings or pictures look like they are moving using some special software. Did you love watching Mickey Mouse, Tom and Jerry or Duck Tales as a child? They were all works of Animation.
On the other hand, VFX means Video Effects. Have you seen heroes in movies jumping off big cliffs or cars veering off moving up into the air? That’s where VFX has been used. VFX is the process in which real videos are mixed with visual effects to show unbelievable stunts or to enhance the storytelling.
Both Animation and VFX are popular undergraduate options for Class 12 students. If you have these skills, a booming market is waiting for you with lots of job opportunities.

Yes, absolutely!

  • Animated movies from big studios like Pixar, Walt Disney, Dreamworks, Nickelodeon are breaking all records as blockbuster hits.
  • Indian movies with visual effects (VFX) like Brahmastra, Bahubali Series, Krrish, Ra One have sizzled at the box office.
  • With the rise of Netflix, Disney Hotstar, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video etc. animation has become one of the biggest global trends.
  • Kids’ content with original IPs are very successful on TV and streaming platforms.
  • 5G will bring in more ultra-high-definition TVs, tablets and smartphones making streaming 4K resolution videos easier. This will lead to higher demand for high-quality animated content.
  • Animation is also being used as a tool in marketing, advertising and education. So, today young animators are getting their dream jobs in the best companies.

In traditional 2D animation, hand-drawn sketches and drawings were used, in every frame. In 3D animation, you can bring your character or object to life using a 3D animation software. So, if you want to get into 3D animation, you don't need to be a drawing expert to be a great animator. You have to learn to use the right tools. Knowing how to draw will surely help you as an animator, especially when you're creating storyboards, but you don't have to create very detailed, difficult drawings.
But of course if you have nice drawing skills, that’s an extra advantage and you can have the option to create wonderful hand-drawn animated movies.
