What is the difference between animation & multimedia? Which one is a better choice?

Animation is the use of various technology and drawing skills to create movement of non-living characters on screen. This involves creating a lot of still frames and creating an illusion of movement. It is a more focused part of the industry. Animation involves the concepts of 2D and 3D animation and the necessary concepts involved. Some of the job roles/profiles include character modelling, rigging, story board formation, rendering etc. Multimedia means the use of multiple forms of media including images, text, videos, drawings, audio etc. This as a domain includes design of web designing, video games, photography, web application sound management etc. As a career, although the choice depends more on the interest of the student as these fields are very closely related but at a larger scale multimedia has wider career growth opportunities as one can decided where and how to use the choice of media applications.

Under animation, just animation comes which include 2D animation or 3D animation. Multimedia covers video and editing with little bit knowledge about 2D and 3D animation. Most important thing is that you have interest in which field. If you want to work in animation industry then go for animation. If you want to become a video or sound editor then pick up a multimedia course.
