Aspiring VFX and Animation student seeking guidance on institute selection

Ans: There are private institutes in India that offer programs in product design and VFX, and the best option to consider is:

Gaming and Metaverse Design: This has to be the best course for your daughter. It's one of the 1st ever industry-certified gaming & metaverse design course. The course will teach both product design and VFX so once your daughter graduates from the course, you can take the decision or let her decide which one out of the 2 to choose.

The course also comes with a 100% job guarantee and is in a fast-growing industry. The metaverse industry is expected to become a $1 trillion industry by 2030 so getting your daughter early into this reap rewards in the long term.

In terms of whether product design or VFX is a better field, it ultimately depends on your daughter's interests and career goals. Both fields have promising career prospects in the Metaverse industry and offer unique opportunities for creative expression.

Product design would involve designing virtual or immersive environments in metaverse platforms like Roblox or Decentraland, creating mini-games in Metaverses, and creating Augmented or virtual reality experiences and/or NFTs (non-fungible tokens).

VFX involves creating special effects and animations in virtual environments. If your daughter is interested in both fields, she may want to consider enrolling in the course - "Gaming and Metaverse Design" to explore both these options. Learning about both or doing an internship will help the both of you to decide which route to take.

Ans: After 12th grade, there are a lot of job opportunities in VFX animation, product management, and game creation. Different types of people with different skills and hobbies can find work in each area.

For VFX animation, your daughter can take online courses in animation and multimedia from well-known universities and institutions to learn about digital art, visual effects, and animation methods.

Product management needs both technical and people management skills. She should take business administration or product management classes to get the skills and information she needs for this job.

In the same way, she can take specific courses in game development, computer graphics, and programming to learn about the basics of game creation, software development, and interactive media.

To help her make an informed choice about her future, encourage her to explore her interests, learn about different job paths, and talk to people who work in these areas.
