MAKING A CAREER OUT OF FANTASY

     

ACADEMY Award Winner (visual-effects, Total Recall ) Tim McGovern gently interrupts the proceedings of a press conference here, to clarify a point. Long after a journalist at the press conference cast doubt, and rightly so, on the feasibility of 3D animation training and career in India (would each student who passes out of an animation institute get a job?), McGovern reintroduces the point and says, “When I first started off on my career, I was just hired and put in front of a computer. I had to learn the software on my own.” Then, when his work was over he was hired by another company that gave him another software to crack and so on. Animation was absolutely unorganized in the US till about 10 years ago.

McGovern, innovative-media person George Merkert and visual effects designer Madhu Sudhanan are in the city as guest lecturers for the Image College of Arts, Animation and Technology, which offers post-graduate programs in 3D animation, visual effects and game development, and which started in August in Chennai this year.


Continuing his argument about passion winning over the inadequate facility, McGovern emphasizes, “When the universities started CG animation courses in the US, they didn't ask questions (about feasibility of courses). They jus started.” Eventually, all those inclined towards graphics and 3D animation found places of professional training in these universities, he says, and the universities found students. “They never had too many (courses),” adds this double major in graphic designing and photography with a minor in art history.

Independent visual-effects designer and member of the Los Angeles-based ‘Visual Effects Society' Madhu Sudhanan concurs with him saying the CG and 3D animation courses in India are not recognized by the government. As a result, parents here still want their children to become engineers and doctors, Madhu Sudhanan says. Himself an electronics and telecommunications engineer, Madhu Sudhanan says the work that he's presently doing is absolutely unrelated to his engineering degree. He won the President's award for visual-effects in the Tamil film Alavandan and he led a team that was a part, although a small one, of the visual-effects team of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings (LOTR): Return of the king that swept the Oscars this year.

Putting things in perspective about 3D animation as a career-option here, the chief academic officer of the Image College of Arts, Animation and Technology, V Natrajan says, “This training programmes are only going to open doors for students.” The implication is that the students should be able to take it up from here and respond to the challenges intrinsic to this industry.

At present a lot of activity is happening in the animation industry in India, although it was pretty dull a couple of years ago. According to Merkert, Indians are talking business and opportunities big time and this promises a future for high-tech animation here.

The best part is this: although India may not be well-developed as a market for the production of animation, especially 3D animation, the developed markets, of the US for example, are looking for talented individuals. With broadband Internet connection, a visual effects team may be spread over three countries, like it happened with LOTR, part3. And it was individual talent that led Madhu Sudhanan to his first big break – LOTR, part 3.
