Animation Design COURSEs
The Animation Industry in India is now going globally to create its own identity and a very versatile medium which used in many forms. Today Animation is dominating in films, Games, Apps and in various sectors, platforms such VR, AR, XR and upcoming Metaverse/virtual worlds. Animation playing a key role in all kind of business as a strong communication tool. Animation Design course at MIT ID has always nurtured and mentored these thinking minds to face the challenges of tomorrow both in the global and local context. The objective of this programme is to prepare students to create solutions to complex problems in the field of Communication Design using animation as a creative medium as well as encourage to entrepreneurship/start-up. Thus, in this spirit, it is heavily aligned with the philosophy and concepts of Design pedagogy of MIT ID.
The utilitarian aspect of the animation films made in the department gets factored in through a conscious effort by the film designers to educate and enlighten the end user, irrespective of the medium the animation is getting created for.
For the learners of Animation Design, the courses of study exclusively deal with Animation, Games & on a large the entertainment industry. The learners of Animation Design will be well-equipped with special skills and techniques of animation such as a Visual Development for Animation and Games, Storytelling, Personality and Caricature, Fundamentals of Animation, Motion Graphics, Moving Comics and Graphic novel, Character Design & Storyboarding, stop motion, Experimental films, VFX for Film & Games and CGI skill-set. The essential grasp over the narrative content combined with proficiency with animation design techniques goes toward creating an effective piece of communication. Of the many Animation design courses in India, the one at MIT ID emphasizes on the holistic learning.
The course is suitable for the learners who are interested in movies, comics, illustration, ability to relate and transfer into story or experiences with very keen interest of studying and observing movement and translating it through their art work.
Animation students have a unique advantage of having the ability of working across several domains or industries empowered by the broad essential knowledge base and skillsets offered throughout the course which is prerequisite and common in nature amongst various industries

CAREERS
The Animation department on MIT strikes prefect balance between technology and art, the ever evolving trends and changing technology are integrated seamlessly in the design process; the decade old department has been churning out talent every year.
The silent philosophy, that is followed in MIT, treats animation as an extension of life and communication and thus extension of us being, the things we cannot express in words can /are expressed through moving images.
Transcendence of information through magical and transformational properties of animation and a vivid and kaleidoscopic display of the same is what is more significant to us vis a vis imitating life in general . Stories , poetry , mood, dreams, proses and verses everything has a potential to take on a physical form , either of a single image or that of several images depending on the complexity.
The department takes on a broader perspective as it is a communication design course, the responsibility here is multi layered where we use design to solve social problems and try to make this world a better place. The student are sensitized to their environment, are allowed to observe life and find ways to take cognizance of problems which are often overlooked and at times not even identified, because they are so closely integrated into everyday life.
The same problems are then addressed through design solutions –comics or films.
The creative prowesses are supported by state of art lab which amalgamates both creative and technical facets of the program.
The Faculties in the Department of animation are driving the course and contributing to the ever evolving curriculum, the staff room is a melting pot of academic and industry experience thus brings along a lot of credibility and gravitas.
MIT ID dept of Animation has tied up with the George Brown college of Canada for a game development course (4 years, UG).
