India's animation and VFX industry was valued at around 53 billion
Indian rupees in 2020, with estimates of growth up to 129 billion
rupees by 2023. This was a compound annual growth rate of around 35
percent for the industry in the measured time period.
Visual Effects (VFX) have become crucial to the making of feature films
while cutting-edge work carried out by Indian studios has catapulted
the country on to the global VFX scene and the Bollywood space is
witnessing certain projects that are pushing VFX to the spearhead of
moviemaking. The advent of Augmented Reality / Virtual Reality (AR/VR)
technologies tends to trigger for an even better-than-estimated
growth of the animation and VFX industry.
Many states like Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana, have announced, or
are coming up with, policies in support of the animation and VFX industry
and enable the Indian animation and VFX industry to successfully
participate in the battle of well-constructed markets such as the US,
Canada and emerging centers like South Korea, France, China and

Malaysia. Broadcasters are collaborating with animation studios for
original content, with channels like Sonic and Nick for animated
cartoons. In addition, the digital space also saw a spurt in demand for
kids content with the introduction of channels such as ChuChu TV, CVS 3D
Rhyme on Youtube and global players such as Amazon Prime and Netflix
signing exclusive content licensing deals with various studios in India.

COURSE OVERVIEW
Animation, by which we understand creating an illusion of motion, is a
very popular field. The same goes with VFX, where realistic images are
obtained which would otherwise be impossible to achieve in reality.
During the Diploma in Animation and VFX course, one will also come
across various technologies that are used in the animation field to
create virtual games, cartoons, videos and even full-length animated
movies. As for visual effects, one gets to learn how to create or
manipulate visual images and make them look realistic.
Unlike earlier days, animations and visual effects these days are
mostly computer-generated by making use of various animations and
compositing software. Composting is one of those techniques of
creating a visual effect, where elements from different images are
combined into one. Since the computer plays a big part in creating
animations and visual effects, most of the training in this course will
be based working on computers and using the latest software.
Employability: Web design companies, Computer games companies,
Film studios, Marketing companies, Entertainment Industry
