As a child, Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda, Shrek, Toy
Story, Cars were some of my favourite movies! During the late years of school,
Avengers, X-Men, Pirates of the Caribbean, Batman, Superman, Spiderman were
added to the list! I was always baffled by the amount of effort the creators
took to make these movies look so incredibly real and life like! This interest
and curiosity kept on growing all through my teens and finally during 10th
standard, my cousin suggested that I consider animation and VFX courses
seriously, as he knew that the field was very welcoming to new talent, and that
I would really enjoy it! But then, I didn’t know much to actually do something!
It is then that my cousin suggested I check out a website called Classboat.com.
I once randomly visited their website, and it was
exactly what my confused mind needed! I looked for Animation courses and VFX
courses in Pune that were listed on Classboat.com, and immediately signed up
with them with the help of my parents for more information! I got a call from
one of their counsellors, who suggested some of the top Animation and VFX
courses in Pune and told me to visit the institutes for more detail
information. One of their most recommended institutes was Frameboxx, and their
Kondhwa branch happened to be close to my place too! So, I decided to visit Frameboxx
Kondhwa with my mother one afternoon! They gave me all the required information
and told me that I could pursue animation and vfx after 10th or 12th
too, which would naturally give me more years in the field to learn and gain
valuable experience!
This one step that I took changed my future, and for
the good! Today, I work as an independent animator and have my own studio.
Taking specialised training in VFX has allowed me to take up a variety of
assignments! So, for anyone who desires to work in the field immediately after
school or after completing their HSC exams, you do have a number of options!
There are ample diploma courses and certifications in 2D and 3D animation,
graphic designing with animation, Digital FX, VFX with digital film making,
animation film making, game development, 3D modelling, animation and
multimedia, pre/post production, and more! When you pursue these courses from
the best institutes, which in my case was Frameboxx, opportunities to jump to
work after completion of the course are countless! Media firms, studios,
production houses, independent film makers, game design and development
companies, advertising agencies, digital marketing and E-media agencies are
your playground! With the right skillset, such industry giants would be happy
to hire you and let you explore your creativity to churn out innovative,
out-of-the-box content! Along with this, you can also explore the option of
starting your own venture at a young age and build your own body of work from
scratch!
My professors at Frameboxx always said, - “When it
comes to a creative field like animation or VFX, your talents and innovation is
what help you succeed.” And as I went on learning and working in the field, I
realised that this was in fact true! So, if you really believe you have a knack
for this, do check out the options of certificate or diploma courses in
Animation and VFX offered by Frameboxx! For those who want to get a more
in-depth understanding, India has some of the best full-fledged degree courses
in animation and VFX too!
I contacted Classboat.com when my future looked like a
clean slate. They suggested Frameboxx Kondhwa who wrote the words “’Animation”
and “VFX” on it. And today, my slate is full of knowledge, experiences, unique
bodies of work, interesting assignments, and a vast client-base! I couldn’t
have asked for a better start to my journey! So, for all those young, aspiring
minds out there, give your dreams a chance to fly, and you will find the right
wings along the way, just as Classboat and Frameboxx became mine!
