WHAT ARE ANIMATION AND VFX?

We all have watched cartoons during our childhood and have grown up watching them. Funny characters like Tom and Jerry have always amused us and attracted us. But did we ever stop and think how did these characters and scores of other similar characters come up? Who made them? They were creations of animation. VFX is the term used for visual effects. This involves creating imagery for a particular expression or effect. Moviemakers these days use a lot of visual effects or VFX to take you to an altogether different world. A world of magic.

Animation is a form of visual effects in which the movements of characters or objects are created in 2D or 3D form. A case in the point is the movie 'The Lion King'. This is an animation film and each character (animals in this case) looks as good as real. This is done with the help of many Softwares by which still images are manipulated. This is what you get to learn when you do B.Sc. in animation and VFX.
