Animation is the use of various technology and drawing skills to create movement of non-living characters on screen. This involves creating a lot of still frames and creating an illusion of movement. It is a more focused part of the industry. Animation involves the concepts of 2D and 3D animation and the necessary concepts involved. Some of the job roles/profiles include character modelling, rigging, story board formation, rendering etc. Multimedia means the use of multiple forms of media including images, text, videos, drawings, audio etc. This as a domain includes design of web designing, video games, photography, web application sound management etc. As a career, although the choice depends more on the interest of the student as these fields are very closely related but at a larger scale multimedia has wider career growth opportunities as one can decided where and how to use the choice of media applications.
