what is the scope of animation in coming 5-10 years and what are the job opportunities available in our country and abroad?is it profitable to pursue this course over interests of engineering?
Hey Abhigyan
Being a citizen of India I am sure you must have experienced the craze our society has for engineering (it will never be considered a bad option even though you may get paid around 15,000 for working 9 hours a day).
I will tell you the scope of Animation in India in the best 5 to 10 years.
After getting a degree in animation you may get an opportunity to work in Online and Print News Media, Cartoon Production, Movie production, Advertising, Video Gaming, Theater, Film & Television and E-learning. Even youtube is a booming opportunity for animators nowadays. An experience can lead you to get paid around 40,000 after 3 to 4 years of experience. If you learn 2D/3D animation you have lot of option to change your gears, ie switching between supportive industries: gaming, digital, web, film, TV, print or broadcast but you will always need to be updated with the latest tools and trends (it is exciting but it may be tiring unless you are gifted to be creative). The best place to learn animation is Canada (if it suits your budget). You can try Rubika(India) too as it is one of the best institutes for animation.
I hope this helped you a bit. All the best!
