Animation

The word animation is derived from a Latin word anima, meaning soul  i.e. when life breathes into
characters. The art of animation  started with the cavemen who used to draw pictures on the rocks
 surfaces. Then who can forget Walt Disney for the creation of his  cartoons especially the Mickey
Mouse! In the present sense it means linking the series of drawings and simulating their movements
together.  It is a rapid display of  2D or  3D  images to create an illusion of motion.  It is an art form in
which inanimate objects are  brought into life by sequencing the drawn images.

dollar industry  generating a  great scope of employment for those who ready to try their skills into it.

Visual Effects

Visual effects(commonly shortened to Visual F/X or VFX) are the various processes by which imagery
is created and/or manipulated outside the context of a live action shoot . Visual effects often involve the
integration of live-action footage and computer generated imagery (CGI) in order to create environments
which look realistic, but would be dangerous, costly, or simply impossible to capture on film.  They
have become increasingly common in big - budget films, and have also recently become accessible to
the amateur filmmaker with the introduction of affordable animation and compositing software,
groomed and exploited according to the internet ional standards.  There are many companies like Walt
Disney, I Max and Sony who are ready to outsource their cartoon characters and are ready to invest
heavily in this sector in India.
