How to ensure choosing the best animation institute
Animation, one of the greatest forms of art is almost overtaking humanity in the speed of development. There is hardly any way to give imagination and creativity the wings other than animation. If you want to do magic with your imagination and creativity, animation is perhaps your cup of tea. In present scenario, thousands of students join a course in animation; it may seem to be an easy task to join a college to pursue animation. But actually it is not so. As having books doesn’t guarantee good score in the exam, an animation college doesn’t guarantee success in the career of animation as well as graphics.
Here are some facts that must be considered while joining an animation institute.
Prospect of the course – All that glitters is not gold. So be careful about the things are being taught in the college. Too much of old and too much the recent – both are serious extremes. A course should be a balanced combination of old and new. Many animation institutes emphasise on computer education even before initiation of the course. But computer education is not enough. Unless an animation student can draw and sketch, he/she can’t prosper as an animation artist. Courses keep changing, but the innate talent of a person remains the same. And a course that can nurture the talent and bring out the most out of it would be the best one.
Knowledge and qualification of the faculties – One can teach only what he knows. A faculty should be one who has education, qualification, knowledge, experience, age, attitude and zeal to teach. But what they have taught in the past may not be of great use in the future and so they must be keep themselves updated on the latest syllabus, teaching techniques and resources. Many animation institutes choose teachers who have no real life experience as they can be hired for less. When it comes to offering best and most effective education, quality must not be compromised. As it comes to animation, a teacher is as excellent as his/her last project...and that must be rather recent.
Location of the college/institute – Why should spend huge amount of money and take so much pain just to get an average employment? Most animation companies liaise with animation institutes in close proximity to make a mutually helpful, win-win arrangement. Finding a decent job for the students of an institute located in a very remote location is difficult.
Infrastructure and environment of the institute – If you want to ensure quality teaching and best placement assistance, you might have to spend money like water. This is an industry where changes occur frequently and to go with the changes, one really needs to have deep pockets. Computers, labs, software – each and every tool related to the trade should be recent and in best condition to provide students with the best and most updated education.
Placement records – An animation institute that puts the students through the paces of systems that ensure prompt and best result may be trusted. With such a college the students don’t need to worry about getting proper placements.
These are some of the most important factors that the students interested to get admission in an animation institute in Kolkata should follow to ensure best education and thus best placement.
