[icernet] Animation Industry Eyes Govt Funds; Plans Training Institute

[Arul Selvan]

 The Indian animation industry is working out an organised funding structure
based on international models. Taiwan and Korea are among the countries
which are being closely monitored by the Animation Producers Association of
India (APAI) for an effective funding model.Another key issue being
addressed by APAI is training. So far, there is not even a single training
institute in India dedicated to animation, as against 60 animation colleges
in Korea. Also, Korea is aiming for 40,000 animators in the next five years.
According to an APAI founder member Biren Ghose, to begin with, one
high-quality animation institute is being planned.
