Graphiti School postgrad program

The Mumbai-based Graphiti School of Animation, a training institute founded by Ram Mohan (widely known as the father of Indian animation), has announced India’s first postgraduate course in animation for art graduates — the G CAT MASTER (Graphiti course in animation technology).

This course has been designed specifically for art graduates who have completed their degree programmes in fine arts, commercial or applied art or any equivalent course of study. It’s a full-time course spread over 12 months and focuses on the pre-production processes of animation film making.

“This study course will explore the animation pre-production skills of conceptual illustration and visual development. The emphasis will be on animation styling, character design, layouts, storyboards and technical processes involved in creating visual assets for animation,” says a Graphiti School spokesperson.
