Unknown Circumstances of a Creation

June 2006

I have acquired a new animation software application, even though I have no prior experience in animation creation and my current lack of artistic skills. As of now, I am still in the process of learning. My recent focus has shifted since assuming my current affiliate position and past events. I found myself preoccupied and haven’t been drawing as much lately. The past events are still hard for me to comprehend, despite the many years that have passed. My memories have been jumbled and I’m still trying to sort through it.

Initiating Adobe Flash to start and reading all available instructions on how to utilize the application. I try all the tools, timeline, keyframes, and other features available. I begin by making lines and shapes using the tools, then making them move frame by frame and with motion tween. I also experimented with drawing, albeit, nothing too detailed or complicated. Just to see how it turns out in this animation application.

Perhaps, it’s time to start animating something different besides lines and shapes.

A stick figure serves as a good start, I remember it being the first thing I drew since my lack of artistic ability. I employ my mouse to draw a basic black stick figure, which I subsequently convert into a symbol.

Name… I stop and ponder, should I even name it something with significant thought…

‘victim’

It’s moving… the stick figure is moving. After I have given it a name, it starts to move on its own.

I didn’t need to animate it and it exhibited movement as if it came to life. Is this one of the animation application features? It wasn’t written anywhere and shouldn’t be possible. Advanced technologies are primarily to be utilized for military or research purposes. Outside of that field, not many technologies weren’t close to the level of advance.

Perhaps it’s because I’m using his computer in particular… but does it extend to the drawing created inside the application?

Turning my attention back to the stick figure. It seems to try breaking out of the transformation box. Rotating the supposed box around and seeing the stick figure inside it got tousled around due to the rotation. I try something different, drawing an anvil, it suddenly falls as if the concept of gravity exists. It was going to impale the stick figure, but it managed to move itself and the transformation box just enough so it wouldn’t get squished. The Anvil still destroys the transformation box, freeing the stick figure inside.

It retrieved the fragmented transformation box, hurling it towards the cursor as it sprinted and leaped to grab the cursor. The stick figure remains holding on, as I move the cursor to try breaking its grip. It remains holding on despite that, shifting the cursor towards the tools and timeline, it finally let go of the cursor.

Paying it no mind, my intent to try the application tools was intervened by the stick figure as it grabbed the icons and threw them at the cursor. Picking the lasso tool, I proceed to try using it like a real-life lasso by wrapping it around the stick figure, the stick figure swinging in mid-air as I move it around with the lasso.

The stick figure manages to grab the magnifying glass and throw it toward the cursor, freeing it from the lasso. Trying an alternative method, I attempted to draw a ray gun, attempting to recall its appearance from the numerous video games I once played. The gun works as it fires a ray leaving behind burn marks.

The stick figure evaded the blast and then utilized the application tool to sabotage the firearm, causing it to detonate and damage the animation timeline, resulting in the keyframes falling from their place.

Employing a similar approach, a gun turret is drawn, with keyframes serving as bullets. With the gun turret's trajectory adjusted to target the stick figure, the turret fired a shot. The stick figure, utilizing the eraser tool, successfully deflected the projectile. Subsequently, the stick figure utilized the pen tool to construct a defensive barrier. The barrier is used like a projectile, with the eraser tool as the arrow, shooting the eraser toward the turret, striking the turret, and erasing portions of it, rendering it unusable.

Creating more weapons to use against the stick figure and then binding it against the scroll bar. Moving the cursor as to delete the symbol of the stick figure, it crosses out the delete option and hits the cursor away. It then manages to copy itself to get an advantage by utilizing all available things on the application and proceed to launch attacks on the cursor as unisons.

With a simple click on the “X” button, everything stops as a notification window appears, requesting confirmation for the saving of the current work. With not much thought, I clicked the “No” option.

Perhaps further testing is required, but this time other than a stick figure. I draw a simple bird and nothing happened. I draw various inanimate objects and some have worked as if it isn’t merely a drawing. I draw a horse and nothing happens. There's no clear consistent pattern on what can become alive, although most that have shown to work so far are inanimate objects.

These unpredictable events reduce my motivation to use the application due to the lack of clarity regarding potential outcomes.

Perhaps I should continue this a couple of days later...

Initiating Adobe Flash again, I try to recreate what I have done a couple of days ago. Creating the same stick figure with the same symbol name I watch as it begins to move. Letting it move around for a bit before grabbing it with the cursor. It attempts to free itself but I simply let go and the stick figure falls from the great height. It slowly rises from the falling it takes but before it can do anything I click the option “Cut” and the stick figure is gone.

The creation of the stick figure exhibits the same as the initial result. I find these events hard to comprehend on what could lead to this outcome. But my schedule is going to be busy for the upcoming months and trying to make sense of this isn’t my top priority.

I’ll resume when I have nothing to do, to see why these drawings begun to move on their own. To determine if something is alive, one should know whether it can die.

For the time being, perhaps I should just draw on paper…

September 2006

Creating the same stick figure many months ago and creating a miniature circle. The circle, when drawn, exhibits a weight-bearing, ball-like behavior. Proceeding to launch it at the stick figure with each one I increase its size from its initial miniature from. The last one large enough that it completely crushes the stick figure, yet the stick figure continues to demonstrate movement as it emerges from beneath the imposing sphere.

Drawing a stair while the stick figure moves from beneath the sphere. Finishing the stairs, I placed the stick figure on top of the stairs. I observe as when it is drops at the top of the stairs it wobbles before stumbling and descending the stairs. When it falls at the bottom It appears stationary but then exhibits signs of movement trying to get up.

Is it simulating the experience of physical injury?

November 2006

I was simply trying to animate a fish in an aquarium, but it still isn’t fluid in its movement. All the drawings so far don’t display independent movement or move on their own, unlike the stick figure. Getting an idea, I draw the stick figure with the same procedure for it to become ‘alive’.

Seeing the stick figure move on its own the fish that I have drawn also move lively around the supposed aquarium. It swims around despite no indication of water, using the bucket to color the aquarium, only to have my attention on the stick figure wildly moving and floating as a drawing of bubbles generated from its supposed head.

Grabbing the stick figure to drop it outside the tank, it moves with a deliberate, cyclical pattern reminiscent of inhalation and exhalation.

Paying no mind I simply delete the stick figure as I continue to observe the still-moving fish swimming in the tank.

December 2006

Creating a weapon to be used like the first time, I drew a set of fireworks and witnessed it launched in various directions some towards the stick figure that is moving away. Trying another item, I draw a bomb watch it ignited, and descend down, exploding as it reaches near the stick figure. Upon detonation, the stick figure is launched away from the explosive force.

From this current test, I notice that the things that I have drawn seem to manifest to life after the stick figure is created.

March 2007

The stick figure seems to survey its surroundings, finally noticing the cursor as it pauses its motion. I employed the eraser tool and directed the cursor toward the stick figure it responded by moving away upon noticing the cursor drew closer. It seems to have memory data on what has been happening throughout. The stick figure starts to sprint in an attempt to make distance with the cursor, but by simply shifting the mouse to the side as do the cursor moves with quick speed towards the moving stick figure. The stick figure's legs were erased as the cursor came in contact, yet still moved away using its hands in replace of its legs. The remaining portion of the stick figure leaving only its hand as the final outstretched limb, but nevertheless, all were erased.

Pressing the undo keys, the stick figure reverts back to its full body. In perfect condition and capable of movement. The stick figure quickly sits up and touches its own body as if inspecting its own form. Using the shape tool, I constructed a box to confine the stick figure, ensuring its stillness.

It merely needs to be redrawn with the same procedure for it to be active.  How about when the application is closed? Is it like rebooting every time the application is initiated and the stick figure is created with the same procedure? Does it just stop the same way when an application is closed?

Perhaps I should check the program that could be one of the causes for this. I never managed to see the actual programming he did. He never states that it could make drawing on the computer become animated. I think he once said that the things that become ‘alive’ with his programming are-

CRASH

“Max...?”

“MAX!!!”

I shout and hurriedly run towards the source of the crash, leaving behind the computer unattended.

I spent the remainder of the day digging a grave…

And sat beside them as I lost in thought becoming oblivious to the world around me.

When the day has darkened, I return inside. Upon recalling the unattended computer, I returned to check on it only to discover the animation application in ruins.

The stick figure nowhere in sight.

My first time writing in this form. Trying to write in Alan POV is a little difficult. Due to how he behave and his mannerism in this AU. Try to sprinkle some worldbuilding and lore. Of course being an AU, not everything is going to be fully the same as the original. And also due to the fact most of the stories are written before AVA 11.

Still tho, hopefully you all enjoy!

This little looping animation was something I created using the software of the Adobe Suite: After Effects, and Animate. Now that I'm out from under the Adobe thumb, I thought this could be a fun and simple project to recreate using Blender. As I really should come to expect now with Blender, what appears simple is often anything but...

There truly is always something to be learning in Blender. Even when I think I have a pretty good idea as to how to use a tool, primitive, or simply executing a technique, there is always some nuance that has yet to be discovered. I continue to persist though, and am especially excited to be doing more character work in Blender. Even the simple Snoopy character has been fun playing with, and I'll be curious to see how the rigging and animation part of the project progress.

I have other character modeling (and rigging) projects in mind, and you can find out more and vote on which projects are most interesting to you as donor incentives or shop items on my Ko-Fi page.

Understanding the Basics of VFX: How Visual Effects Work in Movies

In the world of modern cinema, visual storytelling has reached new heights—thanks largely to Visual Effects (VFX). From breathtaking alien worlds to explosive battle scenes and shape-shifting characters, VFX allows filmmakers to bring extraordinary visions to life that would be impossible, dangerous, or too costly to shoot in real life.

Whether you’re an aspiring filmmaker, an artist, or simply a curious movie lover, understanding the basics of VFX can deepen your appreciation of how movies are made. For those serious about entering the industry, enrolling in specialized programs like VFX Film Making Courses in Udaipur or VFX Prime Courses in Udaipur can be the first step toward an exciting and in-demand career.

What Is VFX?

Visual Effects (VFX) refers to the process of creating or manipulating imagery that is added to live-action footage. These effects are created digitally using software, green screens, and compositing techniques. While many assume VFX is only about big explosions or space battles, it also includes subtle effects—like aging a character, replacing a background, or enhancing weather.

VFX differs from special effects (SFX), which are practical effects done on set—like squibs, prosthetics, or real pyrotechnics. VFX happens in post-production, after the scenes have been filmed.

Types of VFX in Movies

Understanding the types of VFX helps break down the process:

1. Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI)

CGI is perhaps the most commonly recognized form of VFX. It involves using 3D modeling and animation to create objects, characters, environments, and even entire scenes. Think of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park or the dragons in Game of Thrones—all brought to life using CGI.

2. Compositing

Compositing involves combining multiple visual elements from separate sources into a single image. This is where green screen work comes in. Actors perform in front of a green screen, and digital backgrounds are added later using chroma key technology.

3. Matte Painting

Matte paintings are digitally created environments or landscapes that are integrated into the live-action footage. These are often used to create vast cityscapes, fantasy worlds, or historical settings.

4. Motion Capture (MoCap)

Used for characters like Gollum in The Lord of the Rings or Caesar in Planet of the Apes, MoCap involves actors wearing suits with sensors that capture their movements, which are then applied to digital models.

5. Rotoscoping

This technique involves tracing over live-action footage to isolate elements or create stylized effects. It’s often used to remove green screens or enhance motion.

The VFX Pipeline: How It All Comes Together

Creating visual effects is a structured process that follows a specific pipeline. Here are the key stages:

Pre-Production – Planning scenes that require VFX, including storyboarding and pre-visualization.

Production – Shooting scenes with placeholders or green screens, using motion tracking or stand-in props.

Post-Production – The VFX team takes over. This includes modeling, animating, compositing, rendering, and final touches.

The entire process requires collaboration between artists, technicians, and directors to maintain visual continuity and story coherence.

Why Learn VFX?

As demand for high-quality visual content grows across streaming platforms, advertising, gaming, and film, so does the need for skilled VFX professionals. VFX is no longer limited to Hollywood; even regional cinema and web content now heavily rely on visual effects.

Pursuing VFX Film Making Courses in Udaipur offers structured training in tools like Adobe After Effects, Nuke, Maya, Blender, and more. These courses provide the technical knowledge, hands-on experience, and portfolio-building opportunities needed to break into the industry.

Benefits of VFX Courses in Udaipur

Career Support: Many institutes offer placement assistance, internships, and guidance for freelancing or remote work.

These courses cater to a wide range of learners—from high school graduates to working professionals looking to upskill or shift careers.

Real-World Applications of VFX

VFX is used far beyond blockbuster films. Here are a few industries where VFX plays a critical role:

Advertising: To create visually engaging commercials that capture attention.

Education: VFX brings abstract concepts to life in e-learning modules.

Gaming: Realistic environments and characters depend on VFX and 3D modeling.

Architecture & Real Estate: Virtual walkthroughs and visualizations use similar techniques.

Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR): Expanding VFX into immersive experiences.

The skills you gain from VFX Prime Courses in Udaipur can be applied to any of these fast-growing fields.

Why Using References in Animation Makes You a Better Artist

There’s a common misconception among new animators that using references is somehow a form of cheating. The idea often stems from a romanticized vision of creativity—that great art must flow purely from the imagination. But in reality, references are a cornerstone of professional animation, not a crutch. They fuel precision, consistency, and believability, and some of the most iconic animated scenes were born from meticulous referencing. In today’s rapidly evolving animation industry, understanding the value of references is more critical than ever.

What Are References in Animation?

In simple terms, a reference is any visual, audio, or physical source that helps an animator understand how something moves, behaves, or looks. These can be photos, videos, sketches, or even real-life observations. Animators often shoot their own reference footage—filming themselves or others acting out a scene—to study body language, weight shifts, and expressions.

From Pixar to DreamWorks, top studios encourage using references to capture realism and authenticity. For instance, Disney famously used live-action references for films like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and The Little Mermaid. Even in stylized or exaggerated animation, reference-based study strengthens timing, spacing, and anatomy.

Why References Aren’t Cheating—They’re Smart Practice

There’s a massive difference between copying blindly and using references intelligently. When used correctly, references enhance creativity rather than hinder it. Here's why they’re essential:

Understanding Motion: The human body is complex. Without references, subtle movements and shifts can be easily overlooked, leading to stiff or unnatural animation.

Learning From Reality: Even the most stylized animations are grounded in real-world physics and behaviors. References teach you how weight, inertia, and secondary motion function.

Speed and Efficiency: Trying to guess every frame can slow down your workflow and lead to frustrating revisions. Reference materials streamline the process by giving you a clear guide.

Professional Standard: Ask any seasoned animator and they’ll tell you—references are part of the job. From indie studios to AAA game developers, reference usage is an industry norm.

What the Animation Industry Says

Many leading voices in animation have openly defended the practice of using references. Aaron Blaise, a former Disney animator, constantly promotes reference study through his tutorials. He insists that great animation begins with observation.

In a recent 2025 interview by Cartoon Brew, several industry veterans weighed in on the importance of referencing. One notable quote came from Glen Keane, legendary Disney animator, who said:

“Animation is performance. You can’t perform well unless you study the movement—just like an actor studies a role.”

The debate resurfaced earlier this year when a viral TikTok post criticized a student animator for using video reference for a bouncing character scene. The animation community quickly came to the defense of the artist, reinforcing that referencing movement is a skill, not a shortcut. The post sparked new conversations around how beginners are being misled by outdated beliefs.

From Rotoscoping to AI: How References Have Evolved

References aren’t new—they’ve just evolved. The earliest animations used rotoscoping, where artists traced over live-action footage frame-by-frame. Though that process has been refined, the core principle remains the same: studying motion to animate better.

Today, animators can even use AI-assisted motion tracking, depth sensors, and advanced 3D rigging tools to capture reference footage. Software like Adobe Character Animator, Cascadeur, and Rokoko Studio lets artists convert reference footage into skeletal animation in seconds. These tools don’t replace artistry but assist in refining it.

The key is moderation—balancing reference with interpretation. AI tools can give you the motion data, but it still takes a human eye to add character, timing, and expression.

How Beginners Can Use References the Right Way

If you're just getting started, it’s important to know how to approach reference usage responsibly:

Observe First, Then Animate: Don’t trace blindly. Watch the footage several times. Look for shifts in weight, overlapping action, and facial expressions.

Break It Down Into Beats: Identify key poses and breakdowns, then exaggerate where necessary. Animation is about interpretation, not duplication.

Shoot Your Own Footage: Personal video references give you a better understanding of intent and emotion. Plus, it’s fun.

Keep a Reference Library: Save clips, drawings, and photos that inspire you. Over time, this will become a personal goldmine for problem-solving in scenes.

The Cultural Shift in Animation Education

Animation education is also evolving to embrace the intelligent use of references. Traditional art schools once discouraged reference use as they saw it as a form of dependency. But newer curriculums, especially in digital-first cities, are focusing on realism, anatomy, and motion analysis as core parts of learning.

For instance, learners pursuing an Animation course in Bengaluru are witnessing this shift firsthand. With the city's rise as a hub for animation and VFX studios, the emphasis is now on creating industry-ready artists who understand the practical tools of the trade. Animation institutions in such creative cities are advocating for smart referencing, performance capture, and hybrid workflows that reflect what studios actually demand.

Recent Developments Reinforcing the Practice

In 2025, several high-profile animated series and films credited their success to extensive reference use. Netflix’s Arcane team revealed in a panel that they filmed dozens of live-action performances before animating scenes to ensure the emotional realism landed effectively.

Similarly, the latest Spider-Verse installment included behind-the-scenes shots of animators using video references for Spider-Man’s acrobatics. One animator shared on X (formerly Twitter):

“Every jump, roll, and swing started from a phone camera video. Stylization came later.”

Even in indie circles, reference use is gaining respect. Game developers, short film creators, and YouTube animators openly share their reference reels as part of their process videos, encouraging transparency and authenticity in learning.

Conclusion: Observing Is Creating

Let’s be clear: referencing isn’t about copying—it’s about observing. It’s about digging into the details of movement, understanding form and rhythm, and translating real-world behavior into compelling animation. In fact, learning how to use references effectively is what separates amateur animation from professional work.

And with cities like Bengaluru becoming increasingly influential in the animation landscape, young creators have access to a wave of global tools, collaborative studios, and expert-led programs. For those seeking to build strong foundations, a 3D animation course Bengaluru can offer hands-on exposure to reference-based workflows, equipping them with both the artistic eye and technical skill necessary for today’s animation demands.

In animation, observation is creation. And using references? That’s just smart storytelling.

Problem of Every Graphic/Visual Designer

Have you ever used other design softwares instead of Adobe?

If not, Are you the one carrying a legit subscription?

IF NOT, Then are you using it for making personal projects or doing client work?

Let's discuss all of this in the post.

We designers usually get introduced to the world of digital design with softwares like Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere Pro, and sometimes CorelDRAW.

But how many of you have heard the names of Inkscape, Gimp, CavalryApp, DaVinci Resolve, and Kdenlive?

These are a part of a category called open source softwares.

Adobe has been the market leader when it comes to digital design. They have been adding innovative features to make the processes easier. The way digital design is today is because of the amount of focus they have put in to benefit their customer.

Even they have tried to make their plans cheaper for the first year for working professionals to make their services accessible. But the fact that the amount of money we as design students spend on learning that is graduation is already very high for a middle-class family, needless to say.

Also, if we complete this line of education. Then comes the career opportunities. If somebody goes for full-time employment, chances are that you may get the subscription if you opt for an established company.

But if you want to work as a freelancer. Then again things are different. Because you initially do not take the risk of investing the money in softwares for the first year and then paying a massive amount to continue the next year. As the price is much higher as compared to the first year.

I left Adobe Creative Cloud Suite in the year 2019 and shifted completely to open-source applications after my boss in my first job told me to do so. Thank You, Sir.

But the problem is that, except for Figma, I do not enjoy the exciting features of the softwares I use.

Like the pen tool in Illustrator made my illustrations look so good that I miss it.

The last proper digital caricature and portrait was done by me in Photoshop.

The last proper animation also I think was what I did in After Effects.

I want companies and other designers to understand that if you are hiring candidates, then Adobe can be an important factor while hiring.

Open source softwares also deliver 75-80% of the results regarding features with whatever is available.

But how many people do you think can afford these highly priced softwares?

And will it be legal for somebody to freelance with such softwares?

Let me know about your views in the comments section. Let's see if Adobe too becomes a part of this discussion.

Is Animation a Good Career in 2025? Key Trends and Insights

In 2025, animation is no longer just the domain of cartoons and children’s entertainment. It has evolved into a powerful medium used across a range of industries—from entertainment and advertising to education, gaming, healthcare, and even architecture. With digital experiences becoming the backbone of communication and storytelling, animation has firmly cemented its role as a compelling career choice. But is it a good career in 2025? Let’s dive into the real trends shaping this creative and ever-evolving field.

Rising Demand Across Industries

The first—and perhaps most obvious—indicator of animation's growing value is the increasing demand for content. Global consumption of visual media has surged, fueled by streaming platforms, social media, mobile apps, and virtual experiences. Animation, especially 2D and 3D formats, is everywhere: in educational explainer videos, marketing reels, YouTube channels, AR/VR experiences, and immersive metaverse projects.

Even the corporate world is embracing animation. Businesses are now using motion graphics to simplify complex concepts in training modules, pitches, and client presentations. Meanwhile, industries like healthcare are investing in animated visuals to make medical procedures understandable for patients and trainees alike.

According to a report by MarketsandMarkets, the global animation market is expected to reach over $640 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of over 5%. This demand is not only for final content but also for skilled professionals who can conceptualize, design, and execute animated visuals.

Career Versatility and Specializations

Another reason animation is thriving as a career path is the variety of specializations it offers. You don't have to be a traditional animator to enter the field. Some of the most in-demand roles in 2025 include:

Character Designer

Storyboard Artist

2D/3D Animator

Compositing Artist

VFX Specialist

Motion Graphics Designer

UI/UX Animator

This diversity of roles makes animation accessible for different skillsets—from illustrators and designers to coders and storytellers. As animation pipelines become more complex, studios are actively hiring for niche roles, opening more doors for aspiring creatives.

The AI and Tech Disruption: Threat or Opportunity?

A lot has been said about artificial intelligence changing the creative landscape, and the animation industry is no exception. Tools like Runway ML, Adobe Firefly, and Kaiber are making it easier to generate visuals and even full sequences with minimal manual input.

But rather than being a threat, AI in animation is becoming an enabler. It automates repetitive tasks—like lip-syncing, in-betweening, or background generation—freeing up animators to focus on creativity and storytelling. Those who embrace AI tools are not being replaced; they’re becoming more efficient, versatile, and competitive.

Recent projects from major studios like Pixar and Netflix are even integrating AI into their production workflows to speed up rendering and simulate physics-based animations.

So, in 2025, the key is adaptability. The best animators are not just artists—they are creative technologists.

Education and Skill-Building Matter More Than Ever

While the industry is growing, it's also becoming more competitive. Studios expect candidates to come equipped not just with creativity but also technical know-how. Proficiency in software such as Adobe After Effects, Toon Boom Harmony, Blender, and Cinema 4D is often a baseline requirement.

For those wondering how to get started, structured learning can make a difference. Enrolling in a recognized 2D animation course bengaluru or any similar hands-on program can provide not only skills but also industry exposure, project-based training, and professional mentorship—components that are difficult to gain through self-study alone.

Educational institutions are also updating their curricula to include newer aspects like VR/AR integration, AI-assisted animation, and real-time rendering with game engines like Unity and Unreal Engine. As recruiters increasingly look for candidates who can wear multiple hats, a strong educational foundation gives aspiring animators an undeniable edge.

India’s Role in the Global Animation Scene

India has always been a hub for outsourced animation, especially for international studios in the US, Canada, and Japan. But things are changing in 2025. The country is no longer just an execution partner—it is now a creative leader.

Homegrown content, from animated films and web series to indie games, is gaining traction on global platforms. Shows like Mighty Little Bheem on Netflix or original IPs developed by studios like Green Gold and Paperboat are not just entertaining Indian audiences—they're drawing global viewership.

Additionally, India’s gaming and edtech sectors are heavily investing in animated content, creating more jobs and driving innovation locally.

This surge in demand has led to new studios cropping up across the country and established ones expanding their teams. The need for animators, modelers, and VFX artists is at an all-time high—and is expected to continue rising through the decade.

Freelancing and Remote Work: A Boon for Creatives

The shift towards remote work has benefited animators in a big way. Freelancers can now collaborate with global studios without relocating. Platforms like Upwork, Freelancer, and even Behance are brimming with animation gigs ranging from 10-second explainer videos to full-length music videos and ads.

For many animators, this flexibility is the best part of the job. You can build a personal brand, work with international clients, and even start your own studio or YouTube channel. As long as your work stands out, geography is no longer a limitation.

In fact, some of the most influential animators in 2025 are independent creators who have turned their personal styles into full-blown digital brands.

What Recruiters and Studios Look for in 2025

Recruiters are now prioritizing portfolios over degrees. A strong showreel that highlights versatility, storytelling ability, and software skills is worth more than a certificate alone. Here’s what studios are actively looking for in 2025:

An understanding of both 2D and 3D techniques

Clear storytelling and visual communication

Knowledge of real-time animation pipelines

Collaborative work and communication skills

Familiarity with AI-assisted tools

A willingness to keep learning and adapting

If you’re an aspiring animator, your learning never stops. Even seasoned professionals are upgrading their skill sets to keep up with evolving tools and industry expectations.

Conclusion: Is Animation a Good Career in 2025?

The answer is a resounding yes. Animation in 2025 is not just about creating characters or drawing frames. It’s about communicating ideas, building immersive worlds, and solving real-world problems with motion and design.

As cities across India contribute to this creative boom, Bengaluru, in particular, stands out with its growing ecosystem of animation studios, gaming companies, and edtech startups. For those seeking structured guidance and technical excellence, enrolling in an Animation course in Bengaluru can provide the right blend of mentorship, software training, and industry exposure.

With the right mix of creativity, adaptability, and technical know-how, animation isn’t just a viable career in 2025—it’s one of the most exciting, dynamic, and fulfilling paths for today’s visual storytellers.

Can VFX Help You Design Your Own Animated World?

Visual effects (VFX) have transformed the creative landscape, making it possible for artists to design rich, immersive animated worlds. Whether you're drawn to film, gaming, or virtual reality, VFX allows creators to bring their imaginations to life in stunning, detail-filled visuals. If you've ever wondered how to build your own animated universe, VFX techniques are the perfect tools to help you get started.

Understanding VFX and Its Role in Animation

VFX encompasses the use of computer-generated imagery (CGI), animation, and compositing to enhance live-action footage or create complete digital scenes. This field blends artistry with technology, allowing creators to build environments that would be impossible or too costly to capture in real life. For instance, in movies, VFX can transport audiences to alien worlds or fantastic realms, where gravity, physics, and reality can be manipulated for effect. In gaming, VFX helps in creating engaging atmospheres, detailed character models, and special effects that contribute to an immersive experience.

Building an Animated World with VFX

To design your own animated world, you’ll need to learn the fundamentals of VFX and experiment with various tools and techniques. A well-rounded understanding of lighting, textures, 3D modeling, and particle effects is essential for crafting realistic and captivating environments. These skills allow you to manipulate every aspect of your digital world, from the flow of water and wind to the textures of rocks and foliage.

In addition to the basics, VFX artists often use software to add layers of complexity to their creations. Programs designed for 3D modeling and animation help artists design intricate details, while compositing software blends these elements seamlessly to create a cohesive scene. This combination of art and technology allows creators to experiment freely and ultimately develop the unique look and feel of their animated worlds.

Essential Skills for Aspiring VFX Artists

To become skilled in VFX, you’ll need to develop certain core abilities, starting with a good grasp of design principles. Concepts such as color theory, composition, and perspective are critical in creating visually appealing worlds. Knowledge of software such as Adobe After Effects, Blender, and Autodesk Maya is also highly beneficial. For those interested in taking their abilities to the next level, courses in VFX training in Udaipur can provide valuable insights and hands-on experience in these tools.

A strong understanding of 3D modeling is also crucial for building animated landscapes and characters. Techniques such as rigging, which is used to add movement to models, and texturing, which adds surface details, help bring these elements to life. Many VFX artists spend time honing these skills through continuous practice and experimentation.

Bringing Imagination to Life with VFX Techniques

Creating an animated world involves more than just technical skills; it requires creativity and vision. Some of the most stunning animations come from artists who explore beyond reality to craft surreal, dream-like worlds. VFX techniques such as particle effects and dynamic simulations add layers of realism to these creative ideas, whether it’s creating the motion of waves, the glow of magical lights, or the movement of smoke and fog.

One of the most popular VFX techniques is the use of matte paintings, which allows artists to design vast landscapes without creating them entirely in 3D. Matte paintings blend 2D artwork with 3D elements, producing expansive scenes that feel real and full of depth. This technique has been widely used in film to create detailed backgrounds, such as forests, mountains, and cityscapes, that would be challenging to model in full detail.

Learning VFX for Your Own Projects

Getting started with VFX might feel challenging, but with the right guidance, anyone can begin to create their own animated worlds. Beginners can start with online tutorials and courses that cover the basics of VFX, progressing to more advanced topics as they gain confidence. Many artists find value in structured programs that offer both theoretical knowledge and practical exercises. For those aiming to learn in a supportive environment, enrolling in VFX training in Udaipur can provide foundational skills and personalized feedback from industry professionals.

Through VFX training, students can learn to create professional-level animations, build interactive environments, and explore the finer details of character animation. This training equips learners with a diverse set of skills, making them capable of handling all the steps involved in producing a visually compelling animated world.

Exploring Career Paths in VFX

A career in VFX opens doors to various industries, including film, gaming, advertising, and even virtual reality. With skills in VFX, you can work as a 3D animator, a digital compositor, a visual effects artist, or a game environment designer. These roles require both creativity and technical expertise, allowing you to collaborate with other creatives to produce captivating visual experiences.

By pursuing VFX training in Udaipur, you can build a portfolio that showcases your skills and creativity. A strong portfolio is essential for anyone looking to enter the VFX field, as it demonstrates your ability to create intricate visuals and tells potential employers that you’re capable of bringing complex ideas to life.

Conclusion: Design Your Animated World with VFX

With the right VFX techniques and dedication, anyone can create an animated world that reflects their imagination. VFX empowers you to design landscapes, characters, and stories that are truly your own, whether you’re inspired by fantasy, sci-fi, or realistic environments. Starting with basic training and gradually mastering advanced techniques, you’ll have the tools needed to build a unique world from scratch. Taking VFX training in Udaipur can be a stepping stone toward a fulfilling journey in digital art, giving you the skills and confidence to bring your creative visions to life.

Academic Blog documenting: Practice 1 Media (Animation)

Evaluation

The third Animatic of Eternal Animatic has been added a sound in each scene some of them not. For example, I had added a sound effect of a winter to get the idea how cold it is outside for the footsteps where the character there is no sound effect. The reason for that is it still not a correct way of doing Animatic because instead of doing it in a prepared way I just added sound to this one. However, the last and fourth Animatic for Eternal Winter is more appropriate, but his one is an example.  

SWOT Analysis 

The strength of this Animatic is that it has sound that can be clearer what I want to sound in every scene. Another thing is having access to the sound effects from BBC sound effects and Free sound effects where there are many websites to be used. It may have some missing key points of a sound effect, but it will be added to the next step of a detailed Animatic along with a timing of the length of the Animatic. 

The weakness was some of the sound effects do not have what I want meaning some of the sound effects I have to do it by myself. But most of them are simple, for example the sound of a door opening and closing and others. Another weakness was since in procreate it does not allow to add sound if I had to learn how to use Dreams. The reason I had to use Dreams is that the expiration date of my Adobe subscription has been expired and I do not have access anymore.  

The opportunity could be the final Animatic for Eternal Winter but for me it does not look like an Animatic. That is why I wanted to re do it in a better way than after using it as reference to make Animatic with detail along with every important element. That can be used as a reference to animate it. 

The threats were if I did not discover Dreams, I could not add sound effects because the Adobe subscription has been expired. And I knew that Dreams would have the ability to add sounds, and I tried it. Even using Dreams for the first time, I am happy with it and learning new things from this software. Another threat is not being able to add it to my blog with a sound and showing to my lecturer to have his opinion and review.
