Career in Animation :-

Remember those childhood days when we all used to sit in front of our television to watch cartoons like The Jungle Book, Tom and Jerry, Duck Tales, Scooby Doo etc. These Animated series and films are created by Animators. There are huge demands for Animators for such cartoons, E-learning contents, Corporate promotions etc. But people get confused which animation they should learn 2D Animation or 3D Animation. That is why here we are discussing about Animation and which is suitable for students to start their career.

Students really get confused over 2D or 3D animation they should learn.  There is a demand for both 2D/3D Animation but you need to consider some more factors. Few reasons are there:-

• Job demands is much higher in 2D Animation rather than 3D Animation in Kolkata and Eastern Region of India.
• 2D Animation is less expensive and take less time to learn. While 3D animation is very much expensive.
• For 3D Animation we need very high configuration machines but for 2D Animation normal computer is enough.
• There are very good freelancing job opportunities for 2D Animator, and Digital Artists.
• Now-a-days schools are also using E-learning to teach their students and for that 2D Animation they are using. That is why companies need 2D Animators.

These are the reasons why a student can prefer to learn 2D Animation rather than 3D Animation in Kolkata.  But if a person want to work outside Kolkata he/she can learn 3D Animation. For job and freelancing in Kolkata 2D Animation is the most demanding.
