Intellectual Property

What is an ideal animation pipeline ?o

Each project demands a different kind of pipeline. An efficient pipeline is that which gets from start to finish with the least amount of headaches. It should be really flexible and be able to adapt any change in the working environment.

SIGGRAPH 06 in Boston would be a big opportunity?

What would be important to know is what kind of work your getting into.

You may well end up making any significant business deal or get a Job offer or your work gets few nods of appreciation and / or an eye opener in many ways. Being there itself will be major experience.

* For Art In Movement *

The impact of Animation is impossible to ignore.there has always been an emphasis On the technical and creativity  aspects of creating this imaginary,
From the 1830s onward, optical toys--such as the phenakistoscope, zoetrope and the Praxinoscope Such instruments used to produce an illusion of movement.

Budget, Well, you can make the calculation  by your self in a rough assumption.

Example:

1. Buy 3d software (e.g.: Maya) * Copies per Computer * yearly product subscription * Plugins (unless you code them your self)

We get + 0000.00$ * Sum (Computers) * Y per year * Sum (Plugins)

Transition From Pencils To Pixels

As for going Pencils To Pixels , from experience, there are some animators who will simply never do it. Whether the don't want to or can't is open, but they just won't. Others are intimidated by the interfaces, but in my experience - that only means your TD hasn't done a good job.

THE RISE AND FALL INDIAN ANIMATION SCENE

INDIAS animation scene is made up of small AND large mixed media companies. Any animation studio starts and grows up with a spark in one's head or a team effort.As well, the downward journey occurs because of one's or the group's mistakes.

However I have certain opinions of my own about this phenomenon.But as long as I know the creative people have very strong beliefs and they can’t let the project sink.The shutdown of any business happens if any promising client refuses or any big scandal found inside finance department. In fact, the animation industry is growing, new studios are opening and the outsourcing is like red carpet for anyone who wants to do an animation business.

“One swallow doesn't a summer make”. The rise and fall of one animation studio cannot affect the overall animation industry.If so happens that we have very few places where an aspiring animator can learn animation. Studios spend their time, energy as well as money to train fresh animator (s) and then all of a sudden another company comes up and takes all the trained animators by offering them better pay packages. Now the company, which originally trained these animators, is in a lurch. They have their own projects going on and their animators have left. There is no source from which they can get new animators. The only option in front of them is to retain or hire new animators by offering them even better pay packages. This puts a considerable strain on the pockets of animation studio. Meanwhile the project for which they had trained the animators remains undone. What I mean to say is that if Animation Production has to increase in India then Animation education has to also increase and get better. Spread the good word!!!

Key Technologies For Animation

The production and distribution of Animation features ,motion pictures and related entertainment vehicle are among the fastest growing field. They are also characterized by very rapid growth and technological change.

I always wanted to do something new with the medium. The project aims to answer this:

1) Does virtual reality have a unique language?
2) How do we deal with additional sensory inputs such as smell and touch?
3) Can we formulate creative and artistic technique that will allow more expression and compelling experience in this media?
4) How do we deal with non-linearity and the freedom of choice inherent to visitor to such world?
5) Where does the concept of story fit?
6) How can we provide intense emotional experience that will be felt and remembered?

Thinking that the technological developments are likely to affect the demand for animation and digital effects dramatically. Key issues include:

1.Extended applications of digital techniques to Animation production

2. Investigation of other production areas including Directors and producers of original content, digital sound, digital editing and other digital postproduction

3.Movies and interactive games: convergence or divergence?

4 re-adjustment to new formats for filmed entertainment

5. Other developments likely to shape production

“ The ability to make the impossible possible is the best resource at mankind’s
disposal. Lets use it”

All it takes is a coherent voice to speak out ,That’s the voice of the critic. I've found that the best critics are ones who actually create animation themselves. They're the ones with the passion to look at animation as something more than a commercial product or specimen in a glass case in a museum.
