It could be a mixed version of multimedia text, graphic art, sound, animation and video sourced through computer or some other electronic media.

Expert View

Animation institutes have done their job of creating a critical mass of animators in this country, a huge workforce that is skilled (not necessarily “thinking animators” or creative). at served India as the back office for outsourcing jobs in animation. However, moving ahead we have to create more “thinking animators” and some entrepreneurs and many storytellers so that we can tell our own stories competently from script to screen. (…) Students need to focus on art, drawing, design, drama, theatre, storytelling and writing a lot more than computers and just learning software and commands.is will really help them achieve a great command over the medium.

— Kireet Khurana, Indian animation filmmaker

“Indian animation industry has grown at a fast pace in the recent years. e amount of studios that have been started tells us that there is a lot happening with animation. In terms of technology, I believe that we are at par and the quality of animation has definitely caught the attention of west. (…) Collectively we all should come together and promote the animation industry in India. is is the next sunshine industry and packs with it loads of creative flows and exciting stories that entertain everyone.”
