Prior to jumping into your new activity of career, it is crucial for you to comprehend what it will take to end up plainly as an expert in the business you’re making progress toward.

The Animation industry views animation as a genre rather than a medium.

Animation is an emerging industry in the newest era, with an abundance of chances and opportunities.

Though it joins both technical and creative viewpoints, which implies it requires individuals with a brilliant foundation.

In spite of the fact that there is no certain characterized example of a standard animator, there are some fundamental angles that they all offer.

Why is Animator So-Called?


As per the U.S. Department of Labour, Animators are additionally widely known as multimedia craftsmen, who make and produce various types of animation, pictures, embellishments and special effects and visual images by utilizing the electronic apparatuses or computers.

They are indulged in making films, television shows, series, computer games, video games and even other BBC network shows.

Animators are considerably more typical than you might suspect.


The various animation jobs range from web-based advertisements to commercials, motion graphics, and even creating forensic tools/scientific devices.

Though there are ample of examples of animation jobs that incorporate making, creating, and designing graphics for sites or notwithstanding producing virtual architecture visits.

Simply recollect, artists do as such substantially more than just make cartoons.

There are various criteria on which depends whether you are efficient in Animation.

These can be considered as the characteristics of a successful animator.

You have a vast creative energy and imaginative ideas
Maybe you are the one who has found yourself wound up doodling as long as you can remember.

Assuming that you have colossal fantasies of distant universe and storylines and you are thinking to pursue a career in this field.

These are considered as the innate qualities that lend themselves well to the profession.

This information, if well known before time, will aid you to avoid being misplaced.

Regardless of what you may have been thinking about, having an expansive creative ability is essential to an animator.

If you have an immediate contact with your artistic imagination, it will help you and your work to emerge.

Animation is not an easy task; it is tedious and a long process of multimedia.

According to some critics, animation can be defined as a mixture of art and science.

It is the ultimate combination of analyzing mechanics and creating them artfully.

An Animator Should Be Very Detail-Oriented & Thorough


It is important to note that an animator should be detail-oriented and thorough in every sphere of life in order to maintain a balance between his work life and professional life.

This balance, in turn, will turn to a habit which is beneficial in animation.

In spite of the fact that this capacity to focus on the exact minutia of life may trouble your beloved ones, it is a magnificent aptitude for an animator to have and follow.

At the end of the day what is required is the animation you do does not have to be realistic, but rather it needs to be plausible.

One single squint can have a significant effect when you are breathing life into illustrations/characters, so it helps to be careful and thorough.

An Animator Should Be A Master Of Exaggeration

Animation is that field where you are required to stretch things bigger and better than before in order to improve things in a creative way.

The activity of an animator is to make straightforward developments all the more fascinating by overstating particular bits of the development.

This makes a difference between a non-animator and an animator.

A non-animator may not notice the stranger standing in line at a coffee shop.

However, a true animator sees minute details and may also analyze that individual from head to toe including the facial expressions to the way they walk and talk.

Patience Is The Greatest Policy Of A True Animator



An animator is expected to have a considerable measure of persistence whatever may be the circumstances.

With the purpose to create a great art, patience is constantly important to make extraordinary workmanship.

Be that as it may, it appears to come more normally for a few people than others.

Creativity combined with patience is the key to plan all your projects.

Animation is a procedure and it takes a great deal longer than a great many people think.

All throughout the tedious task, a true animator is required to maintain the serenity of mind and work until its completion.

You should have the capacity to work and remain centered for drawn-out stretches of time all while tuning in to your group.

As for example, a total full-length animated feature film keeps running for around an hour and a half.

It seems quite interesting; however, the entire film ranges to about 129,600 frames, each of which should be animated separately.

Though this may appear a daunting and overpowering task, yet this tedious task can become easy if your outlook for it is easy.

Nonetheless, with the correct specialized expertise and a tad of persistence, this procedure can feel very remunerating when you see the completed item.

You Can Discover New Things

With a specific end goal to wrap up noticeably as an effective animator, you should go to an animation institute to know the techniques and educate yourself on the concerned subject matter.

If you are searching for an Animation institute then MAAC Kolkata is the best option for you.

Nevertheless, your education does not stop here.

There are vast areas of animation which you will acknowledge while working in this field.

In the recent era, the animation industry is evolving and emerging as a great field of placement and career.

It is continually evolving, developing, and ending up increasingly innovative.

There are new animation software and procedures being made quite a long time.

Perhaps you have known that you possess all the natural innate characteristics needed to succeed in an animation career.

However, these qualities are futile if you don’t know the requisite technical skills for the purpose of animation.

3D Animation has now become the key to the animation industry.

For that, you need to remain educated about Autodesk Maya and Autodesk 3ds Max.

Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, JavaScript, UI Design, Autodesk Maya, 3ds Max, Adobe Acrobat and 3D Modelling are the things which every employer seeks in an animator.

So as to remain significant and aggressive in your field, you should will to take in these new things and develop with the profession.

As an artist, you can likewise need to find out about various fields.


On the off chance that you appreciate being a long-lasting student and are dependably up for another test, at that point you will have no issue adjusting to the life of an artist.

Your choice: work by yourself or in team
You can without much of a stretch work independent from anyone else and with a group.

With a view to the ultimate output of the projects, animators are required to work both independently and with the group.

Group, in the sense, it implies the significance of teamwork and your contribution as a team member; and the word ‘individually’ implies that your individual contribution to the project.

On the off chance that you are agreeable in a wide range of work circumstances, at that point you are in good fortune.

Assuming that in a specific project you need to work and spend extended periods of time drawing in segregation, then it is expected out of you to work together with authors, executives, editors, and co- animators.

Are you ready to take the challenge?


Now, it is my questions whether are you up for the challenge or not, after observing the above aspects.

It is super exciting to bring life to dynamic images.

However, a career in animation is not like a walk in the path of flowers.

Moreover, it is a tedious walk through the road of thorns.

May it be The Road Not Taken, but somehow if you take the thorny road you are the winner at the end of the day.

You are the one who is making kids’ smile, make youngsters moral by producing moral animated films like ‘Big Hero 6’.

After you, many are staring eagerly to the next upcoming version of the previous.

Many adults are still waiting for the sequel to ‘Paperman’, the animated short film.

In spite of the fact that the possibility of conveying life to pictures may appear to be energizing, it requires a great deal of work and tolerance.

Most artists wind up working extended periods for quite a while just to meet their due dates.

Be that as it may, on the off chance that you are enthusiastic about your art, at that point, all the diligent work will be beneficial.

In our today’s blog we will be discussing in depth the effect of animation in Indian television. Television in India, as on today in 2017 is a huge industry.

There are several channels, which has thousands of programs in various languages. India has 22 official languages and television programs for almost all the official languages are broadcasted.

More than half of all Indian households own a television. As of 2017, the country has a collection of over 857 channels of which more than 184 are pay channels.



Terrestrial television in India started with the experimental telecast starting in Delhi on 15.09.1959. The regular daily transmission started in 1965 as a part of All India Radio. The television service was extended to only seven Indian cities.

The programmes were mainly produced by Doordarshan which was then a part of All India Radio.

The telecasts would happen twice a day, in the morning and in the evening. Programmes were mainly based on agricultural information.

Other than that, health and family planning were the other important topics that were dealt with in these programmes.

In those days Entertainment was also included in these telecasts in the form of dance, music, drama, folk and rural art forms. Television services were separated from All india Radio in 1976.

National telecasts were introduced in the year 1982. In the same year, color TV was also introduced in the Indian market. Indian small screen programming started in the early 1980s.

At that time there was only one national channel i.e. Doordarshan, which was government owned.

The first major television series produced were based on Indian spiritual and mythological stories – the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. This serial made a world record in viewership numbers for a single program.


The 1980s was the era of Doordarshan with shows like Hum Log -1984,Wagle Ki Duniya -1988, Buniyaad (1986–87) and comedy shows like Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi -1984, Mythological shows like Ramayan (1987–88) and Mahabharat (1989–90)  and later on Chandrakanta.

Popular Hindi film songs based programs were Chitrahaar, Rangoli and Superhit Muqabla.

Crime thrillers like Karamchand and Byomkesh Bakshi contributed towards increased viewership, Programmes for children were Divyanshu ki Kahaniyan,Vikram aur Betal,Malgudi Days and Tenali Rama.

Bhimsain Khurana, known as the father of Indian animation in 1974 made the animated film ‘Ek Anek aur Ekta’ .

This short traditionally animated educational film is a landmark in the history of Indian television as well as in the animation industry.

This film used to be presented as a fable to teach children the value of unity. It was frequently broadcast on India‘s Doordarshan.



The first Indian animated television series  Ghayab Aaya, in 1986, Captain Vyom, the first Indian 3D and VFX – television has come a long way.

In 1990s only Doordarshan broadcast popular cartoon shows like  Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Tom and Jerry, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Talespin & Duck Tales, The dubbed Hindi version of Jungle Book was hugely popular.

Earlier, before the emergence of satellite television, only Doordarshan used to telecast cartoons and animated contents for the Indian audience, particularly kids.



But with the arrival of Cartoon Network in the year 1995, popular animated shows and cartoons were shown to the viewers for the first time.

Eventually lot more animated channels, international and national, started to come up as well in India.

Now there are several  Indian Animation Channels namely, Animax, POGO, Sonic ,Disney channel, Toon Disney, Hungama TV   that offers various types of programmes from cartoons,  game shows, art and crafts etc.

Many popular animated and children movies are also premiered on the above mentioned channels, some even dubbed in Hindi and other regional languages.

No doubt cartoons are great source of fun and entertainment for children. Children are also fond of cartoons as because of many reasons. As they find human in cartoon form with cute or weird shape and dress with colorful attire.

Children aged 3 to 9 years usually starts to watch cartoons. But At this age kids have growing mind. They are curious and fast learners. The capability to learn by observing things.

And that is why cartoons directly make an impact on their minds and nature as well. It is better to lead children to watch cartoon having positive effect.



Some of the positive effects of animation on kids are:

Today, the wonders of animations are not limited to cartoon shows and films that we love and enjoy.

They have become the highlight for the video marketing campaigns. Animation has its influence not only among kids but adults as well.

Animated advertisements are very effective in communicating the message. Animations can go to any depth and explain the product and process.

The main benefit of using animation in commercial is to make it interesting and unique.

One of the major advantages of using animation in advertising is the ability of animators to create environments and worlds that could not be accessed or reproduced by a live action camera crew.

The more original the advertisement is, the biggest is the chance that the customer will remember it and then buy the product. The advertisement of Amul Butter is no doubt a landmark in its own field.




Overall effect of animation in Indian television has given the boost to the 3d animation industry in witnessing a major boom.

2D to 3D Animated Character Amul Girl Transformed With Time

We have all seen and can remember the lovable mascot, the Amul girl. In our today’s blog discussion we will discuss about how the Amul girl transformed from 2D to 3D Animated character used for different advertisement medium been made for the new era advertisement.

The Managing Director of Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation, the owner of Amul Mr. R S Sodhi has actually opened the door to the lovable girl with so many new additions to the mascot.




The Amul girl has actually taken a jump right out of her outdoor pedestal onto our television screens as well. It even went to shoot for an ad film that introduces viewers to a bunch of different ways of consuming and relishing Amul butter.

Earlier the mascot girl has appeared in Amul butter advertisement only as a sign off towards the end only.

Around a decade back, though, she did appear all through the brand’s advertisement but in a flat, two-dimensional animation, sketch-like form.

With  Toonz Animation has given the Amul girl a 3D animation effect form for the very first time ever for Amul.



In all the advertisement she looks like a regular, well-rounded cartoon character and has been profiled from several angles, not just the front.

Moreover, the 60-second version of this advertisement many a times has been placed in cinemas during 3D movies to promote the product; when viewed through special goggles, the ad will be a three-dimensional one. Was actually a fun to watch it.


“We have counterpoised our butter girl. Nowadays everything is in 3D — movies, games — so why not the Amul girl?” Mr. R S Sodhi says about the change addressing the media.

In fact, with time and in today world her popularity is being leveraged beyond billboards. “We are extending the butter girl to other things also,” Mr. R S Sodhi says.



The girl has started appearing on Amul’s boring milk packets and products also.



And besides reproducing the billboards as press advertisement in newspapers, Amul has also started airing them on television advertisement also in the quick 10-second films!

Here’s how: A scene of an actual road is integrated with a graphic billboard which is a replication of Amul’s actual billboard.

Given the nature of the content of these topical ads,  Amul produced these short films which has been aired on Hindi and English  different news channels.

With this Amul witnessed a total changed in Amul’s “media selection strategy” such that the mascot girl was exposed better way.

 Mascot Makeover



Created by Sylvester da Cunha in 1966 to rival Polson’s butter girl, the Amul Girl which was a 2D animation character was first used in outdoor advertisement which was debut on a few lampposts in Mumbai.

Public reaction to her was immediate and positive. People found her really cute — cute enough for the brand to make billboards her permanent home, one that she has inhabited for over 50 years.

Thus, at a time when there was no TV and every brand was going the print, cinema or radio way, Amul butter decided to embrace outdoor.

Then with modern technology, butter girl leap into 3D animated character?  This transformation made the mascot alive  and allows her to develop a different relationship with the younger audiences.

On billboards, the Amul girl is witty and spunky but in this ad film, she is almost a goody goody two-shoes.

In television it becomes sensorial advertising. Ever since it made the leap from black and white to colour, Amul butter, like many other food brands, started using it as a medium to lure consumers with appetising sights and sounds.

So, shots of food became dominant and the Amul girl gradually began appearing more towards the end of the films.

Gradually the role of the Amul girl started becoming different on each platform. On the outdoor medium, she acts as a social observer; the strategy is to comment on India. But the strategy for TV is: sell more butter. So, in a sense, her role on TV is more hard working.

Amul butter girl has found yet another media platform in digital (particularly Facebook and Twitter) for its topical outdoor creative.
