VFX

Hi,
You can opt for a comprehensive program which will cover all the important segments of film-making with following stages.
Stage1: Pre-production
Here you will learn about story development, character designing, background or set designing, cinematography, script and screen play and story board. In short, this is a planning stage.
Stage 2: Production
This is where you learn 3D modelling, giving texture to characters and props, creating the light effects, and giving movement to the character or props. In short, this is the execution stage.
Stage 3: Post-production:
This the final stage where you put everything together. add effects and sound. With editing, you complete the last step of movie making.
Duration of such a course can vary between 2-3 years. This course can prepare you to enter the industry and grow.
Thanks.

Animation is the process of by which images are used to bring the illusion of motion by the rapid movement of those images in a sequence. Animations can be recorded or stored in various equipment and formats. Some recording would be flip books, video tapes, motion picture movies or on digital media and some of the formats on which it is stored are digital video or flash animations.
Visual effects is the process of creating and manipulating imagery which is computer generated and combine it with live action shots, when it comes to film making or any form of video visual. This it done to get outputs which would be very expensive, dangerous and maybe impossible to get on film. VFX, now a days is easily accessible through animations and compositing software.
