A great deal of hard work goes into
making an animated film. It requires imagination, discipline and effort. We
have hundreds of great animation films from Hollywood
and from many other countries.The most famous of those films are Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, the first ever breakthroughs in animation world..
Other great movies like Lion King, Jungle Book are among others which had a
great appreciation among masses. Indian animation films that are popular today
is little Krishna, little Bhima, Hanuman among many
others.
I was fascinated with a movie produced in India with children for all characters in the movie. No other senior actors except children. The choice of the subject is from a great Epic ‘Ramayana’.
It is a Indian mythological story which stand for human values and traditions. The director of the film is M. S. Reddy and he
is popularly known as ‘Mallemala’. With
around 1000 children shooting an epic and making it popular is an uphill task.
It is very difficult to control children at young age and imagine how the
producer would have controlled so many children for so many days to make the film a grand success. This children film gave a respectful entry to Junior N
T Ramam Rao’ the grand son of Indian
‘Lord Krishna”, senior N T RamamRao and won a national award for ‘best Telugu children
film’ National Film Award for Best
Children's Film, Nandi Award for Best Children's Film, Nandi Award for Best
Lyricist.
Making an animation movie is a
tough task to the whole film crew. You have to draw the animated pictures,
prepare a screenplay, give the animated pictures a 3 D effect, make dubbing
artist to render voice to the character and sink the voice with the animated
characters. Make the film a realistic to the audience.
A brilliant imaginative skill is
an animated film which makes mouse talk, a fly dance and sing. A recent movie ‘ Egga” (meaning the fly), in
Telugu by a icon director Rajamouli created ripples in the film industry where
he made a beautiful looking tiny fly talk, dance and do wonders. The heights of
imagination in that movie is scripting and making the fly sing a full length
song. Such movies are ever green because
the audience will be from all walks of life, young and old. This film had
inspired many of the Indian film makers and the inspiration to the director is none
other than Mickey Mouse. Animated films should have perfection in all film
sections like handing camera, its angles, the texture and composition of animated
pictures, indept knowledge on computer animation and 3 D effects that can
transpire the imagination into reality. Sky is the limit for animators, and
they travel into the virtual world to bring unexpected as expected, skies to
reality.
In Walt Disney’s words, “It all
started with a mouse,” it certainly didn’t end there. The characters in
Disney’s creation represent characters in our live with all emotions and facts
and no company or person so far had an impact on human race as Disney had.
Animation films had such an impact in human race that at least 70% of the
children behave like those character in the animated films.
Animation Filming requires a
blend of scientific and artistic attitude and a balance of brain cells. A fully grown genius can only become an
animated film maker. For those who choose film career, training in animation is
a must and essential. Few great creating on animation is a real inspiration to
aspirants.
