As in earlier times the world used to give importance to the scientific and medical world now similar importance is given to the creativity.
Creativity is the execution of imagination, and thanks to the technology now even our imagination can be crafted well in reality in the form of animation.
Animation has got itself to be the most demanding career in the field of fiction such as Television and Movies as well as the advertising industry. Animation helps in conveying the most complex thoughts in a very simple and convincing manner.
People think of animation as an exciting and easy process of sitting in front of a computer and making a character and bringing it to life with technological help but it actually involves long and tedious working hours of effort, regardless of the product being a small advertisement clip or a full length animated movie.
