Is it better to Opt for Animation Career basing just on an interest???

Hi Bhargav, I like the way you have asked the question and yes i feel that any career option in which you have interest can help you settling down in your life and animation is such a sector in which one cannot survive without having interest in the stream. As per Masters I would suggest you to take up firstly some diploma specialization and once you are done with that start with you career options and then later on you can do your masters by distance learning mode. See I will explain my point to you some days back only i got a counselling who again was of 25 years graduate with 2 years of experience with father in his business he came with the same thing that should he go for masters as he wanted to do something beyond the business of father and same time doesn't know that spending 2 years would be fruitful later on or not? So as per my suggestion and his creative interest i recommended him to take up 3ds max and stat with interior jobs and free lancing work once he trust himself and settle down the work he can take up Msc in multimedia and take up a post graduate degree. All the best

Hello Bhagrav52007 Internet can't develop your foundation. It could always enhance and supplement you for skill enhancement. Remember that Animation calls for a wide bouquet of skills from traditional art skills to articulation skills, storytelling to aesthetic appreciation, and creativity to technical prowess. Since its a practical field, you need expert guidance by proficient Mentors. Hope it helps. Feel free to revert. Appraise by liking it or marking as best answer Best wishes! Sanjay Khimesara

More than interest, it is the DEPTH of interest that is important. If the depth of interest is there to pursue animation or any other subject for that matter, then you should pursue it.

As you wait for your answers, here is some advice. If you're creative, you can always consider going for Design and Animation. A good mentor and wise selection of courses with a good school, followed by diligent learning, would get you a head start in your career. However, you must check your suitability for this field. Animation is an art form and a very demanding career. It has ample opportunities for the creatively talented people. Opportunities lie in animation design, game design, graphics, storyboarding, 3d modelling, texturing and lighting, Dynamics and VFX and of course animation (2D and 3D). However, choosing between these must be done after seeing your performance in each of these. Typically you should have good sketching skills to be able to make a sound career in this (if you work hard you can improve your drawing skills tremendously). Nothing but your innermost talent and passion should lead you to the course and the institute you choose. Go speak to people over there and see if you like their philosophy and they change your perspective.Try their website for more details. Also remember that Animation requires good mentoring. Typically go for a school which offers all the information including faculty on their website. Wish you the best for your career. Remember, your Career is a resultant of your knowledge combined with your passion and expression ability. If you like this answer you may select it as best answer or press like.
