ADVANCE DIPLOMA IN COMPUTER AND 3D ANIMATION TECHNOLOGY
(FREE ADVANCED TRAINING ABROAD FOR MOTION
CAPTURING WITH INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATE *)
Animation and multimedia specialists also work with Visual effects (VFX).
The main difference between animation and VFX is that, while animation is used for prolonged timespans, VFX is a very quick – yet impactful – bit of animation. Sometimes used for screen time of just a few seconds, VFX can be very prominent or not at all – depending on the way the director wants it.
Visual effects usually involve the integration of live-action footage with Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) or other elements (such as model work). Nearly every movie uses VFX to some extent. The Harry Potter films, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Golden Compass, etc. make extensive use of VFX to create realistic-looking fantastic scenarios. Did you know that Toy Story was the first-ever fully computer-generated feature film?
In India, VFX has extensively been used in films like Chak De India, Don, Krish, Dhoom II, and Om Shanti Om (where actress Deepika Padukone is shown dancing with movie actors from the 1970s). Besides, Welcome and Saawariya are some recent releases that also used VFX to some extent.
Television commercials too often use VFX. Remember the ‘cooling crystals’ on Saif Ali Khan’s toothbrush? Or the bright white teeth of the palace servants in the Happydent White ad? You have VFX to thank for those!

Creating animation
Animation creation consists of idea development, pre-production, production, and post-production.
In idea development, the characters and story for the film, ad or other creative are created and a go-ahead taken on the same.
In pre-production, the idea is converted into layouts. The script is written and finalised, characters are designed, a storyboard is created and layouts are developed. Cost-wise, this phase is extremely important since a single mistake here can put the entire project over-budget.
Pre-production for Animation
1. Scriptwriting
2. Storyboarding
3. Character development
4. Backgrounds
5. Layout designing
6. Animatics
7. Voice
Production for Animation
In this stage, we get to see the actual results of the treatment given to the story as well as its visualisation.
A large volume of production work is outsourced by overseas clients to Indian studios and the majority of Indian animation professionals are involved in production-related activities.
1. Animation
2. In-betweening*
3. Scanning
4. Compositing*
5. Background preparation
6. Colouring
* In-betweening: Tweening (short for in-betweening) is the creation of intermediate frames between two main images to give the appearance that the first image flows smoothly into the second one.
* Compositing: Images from different sources, e.g. real-world video, digitised film, synthetic 3D images,
2D animations, painted backdrops, still photos and text, are combined to create a finished frame of animation.
Post-Production
Final sound recordings, colour editing, testing and special sound effects are all added at the post-production stage. The animation created during production is compared against the goals set down in pre-production to make sure everything has gone as per plan.
Some of the more common activities in 2D & 3D post-production are:
*Colour correction: Undesirable cast or tint is removed from a colour image.
*Rendering: Giving final touches to an animation scene, in which the (vector) data is converted to the raster image or animation.
