I am a BFA passout and currently working in advertising sector. How can I switch my career into animation field?

Great! Being a person from a creative background and being an artist, it will be very easy for you to adopt animation. You can create wonders in digital sculpting with Mudbox or z-brush, you can be goo enough, though out the entire pipeline. Join an animation course with a duration above 1 and half year which covers all the three levels of a 3D animation pipeline, which should give in-depth knowledge on pre-production, production and post-production, with more importance to 2D sketching, perspective, lights, design concepts, anatomy, aesthetic, color concept etc. For any further queries, please feel free to ask. Thanks!

Hello! It is going to be an easy switch for you. All you will need is to gain knowledge of animation tools. There are various options available for you to choose from for example 2D animation, 3D animation or even visual effects. Anything you chose, you will need to learn certain tool (Software) to make that shift. If you think you would like to get into 2D animation, software such as Flash, ToonBoom Harmony would be needed. The duration required to learn each of these tools will be approx 2-3 months. Further, if you wish to get into 3D animation, you would need to learn Autodesk Max or Maya. Similarly, for VFX there are set of software which you need to learn along with 3D. So yes, joining a professional program for learning animation would be your first step for the desired switch. If you have further doubts feel free to revert. All the best! Thanks!
