Why outsource animation projects to India?

Types of animation can be outsourced are

  • Traditional Animation: Characterized by the long process involved, traditional animation takes more time, efforts and resources to complete each frame required for the project. If the frames involve movement and expressions of any kind, each of it will also require a set of carefully drawn frames. You can get a glimpse of the same if you watch some Disney classics.
  • 2D Animation: vector-based 2D animations are made by professional companies leveraging programs like Flash. The animators do not have to draw each of the frames individually and can move an object or a body part in any chosen frame to illustrate movement making 2D animation easier than the traditional method.
  • 3D Animation: It is extensively used in live-action movies made such as Marvel’s The Avengers, Justice League and Spiderman. In order to pull off exceptional 3D animation, the professionals in a CGI company must have excellent skills to illustrate movements of the objects and characters in a movie.

The Stop motion utilizes photographing objects in a given a sequence of images. Even if the movement is the slightest, it is given its own shot. In order to ensure an impeccable flow of the sequence, each movement is created in great depth.
