Why RTG ANIMATE?
The problem with most of the schools in India today is that they are not producing animators with skills adequate for the global market. This is largely because the creation of quality Animation requires more than merely teaching software. Animation is an Art form, and computers are merely tools, which alone will not compensate for a lack aesthetic understanding. One of the first things we teach is the art of Story. At the root of all filmmaking is this intention: to create an emotional response in the viewer by skillfully manipulating the archetypal response buttons in their psyche. When this happens the viewer has a vicarious experience through the events that happen to the characters in the story. When this is done successfully, many people will want to share this experience. It is simply not enough to make a cartoon move, and it is essential for the animator to make it live. Because creating good animation involves more than just software, the first objective is teaching the basics. Our students will learn to draw, learn to make paper drawings move, and learn to make those drawings into digitally polished short stories. Right from the start, our program will train the methods for producing a simple animated film!
