 New
Delhi: Toonz Animation India (www.toonzanimationindia.com),
recently ranked in the top 10 animation studios in the
world, has decided to deploy the internationally trained
and experienced manpower at its disposal for training
activities, in a bid to meet the acute shortfall of trained
personnel in India even as the animation industry grows
at a rapid pace.
Toonz
President and CEO Bill Dennis says Toonz Animation School,
providing fully intensive training of international standard
by a faculty of expatriates, will be launched beginning
the mid of May 2003. “Those who enrol for the Toonz
programme will also be provided an opportunity to work
in real animation on international projects as part of
the course content. They will also have the unique opportunity
to learn and work in development and pre-production.
“The
programme will provide job opportunities to many. Currently,
there is a severe gap between the demand and supply of
trained personnel in the animation segment in India as
the animation industry is growing very fast. The avenues
available for training to match this growth are limited.
That’s why we have decided to enter the scene and
open a channel that will provide trained talents on a
continuous basis to the industry.”
Toonz
Animation School will conduct programmes in three areas:
- Animation
— six-month course (four months basic training
and two months on-the-job training)
- Layout
— six-month course (four months basic training
and two months on-the-job training)
- In-between/Clean
up — four-month course (two months basic training
and two months on-the-job training)
Only
a limited number of seats are available for all the three
courses.
