Animation is the art and science of giving life to still cartoons. It is a science because you need to create an optical illusion by rapidly displaying some related and unrelated images. But animation courses also teach the art of displaying emotions and telling a story. Thus animation courses seek to nurture and channelize the sea of your creative fluids and help you giving shape to the ideas through a medium that is perhaps the most exciting.

 

Variety of Animation Courses in India: Depending on one’s aspiration and confidence, students can select from a bouquet of animation courses. Thus animation institutes in India offer various certificate courses, diploma courses, degree courses and also postgraduate courses.  As art is at the core of the animation sector, one can also pursue Bachelor of Fine Arts or Master of Fine Arts courses to have an edge in animation education. Moreover students may also do some specializations in both 2D and 3D pre-production, sound engineering, editing, modeling, performance animation, technical animation and other branches of animation. The National Institute of Design, JJ School of Arts, Industrial Design Center, IIT Mumbai are some of the best institutes in India that offer courses in the animation sector.

 

Scope of Animation Courses in India: The animation industry in India is witnessing growth at an unprecedented rate and the size of India’s animation market is expected to reach USD 950 million in 2009. This is a remarkable growth if we keep in mind the fact that India got exposed to the animation market only after mid 1990s. India has become a favored destination for various pre production work of the animation industry during the last decade mainly due to the availability of talented animation artists at relatively  low costs. Apart from outsourcing, the expansion of the domestic market has also opened up opportunities for the animation artists.

 

Ironically, the available opportunities have also posed a challenge to the industry in the form of demand-supply gap. But with increasing awareness and popularity of animation courses, the industry is expected to overcome its challenges and continue to create new benchmarks.

Davion W asked:


People love free stuff. This is why there are many folks who wish to download anime videos for free. The question is whether they do exist and what are the implications of getting hold of these videos? We will answer these questions as we explore the whole arena of downloading anime videos for free.

In a sentence, free anime videos do exist. There are probably a handful of English anime fansubs available online for free. Basically, fansubs are the translated version of original Japanese anime videos. These are produced by fan groups and distributed for downloading. Be careful when you download anime videos at such sites. I will explain why.

Firstly, while it is free, you really have no idea if these are licensed copies. If they are not which I often suspect at those self-run sites put up by a few anime enthusiasts, you can get into tons of trouble especially with the law. Another issue that often plagues these free download sites is the lack of a secured downloading environment.

It is quite common for your computer to be exposed to a host of viruses, adware, spyware and other forms of malware. In minor cases, your computers only suffer a slow down. In serious cases, your hard drive may just die on you and you lose all your important documents. When these happen, you got to spend money getting a professional computer technician or replace your hard drive. All the reformatting and loss of confidential and personal documents make it not worthwhile to download anime videos at these free fan sites.

Since there are paid anime download sites that are offering you unlimited access to the latest and oldest anime videos for less than the price of a 4-episode Anime DVD, why go through the trouble and risk? These download sites contain huge databases, often with more than a few hundred complete anime series available for downloading. Anyone can find anything from the old classics to the latest release. There are also multi-genres of videos available.

Anyone who is keen to find out a thing or two about where you can download anime videos of the latest and complete editions can check out my anime blog.
