We get many questions about working with Flash, 3D, flim and animation.
Usually, the first question is about the status of this form of art in Islam.
Is it 'halal'? What are the restrictions?
Drawing in the sense of using a crayon, pen, pencil or other similar items, is permitted unless it is going to be drawing of humans, or animals. This is according to a number of scholars. However, there are differences of opinions concerning the drawing of these things for children's entertainment and for purposes of need, such as medical or scientific reasons.
Cartoons and computer animation have a variety of rulings and we do advise checking with qualified scholars who are familiar with the needs and reasons for animating characters, before starting a project.
Other questions deal with how to get started and where and when these skills could be used constructively for Islam.
Here are some typical questions and answers.
Remember - if you want to volunteer and gain valueable hands-on experience or if you have any suggestions or ideas - Guide US TV is waiting for you to join up - to start out as a volunteer and go from there, inshallah.
Question 1:
Can someone give me the link/URL for a good Flash Animator/Editor to download (free if possible)?
I just want to make animation for free.
Good question. Yes. After looking over the internet we discovered the following answer:
Answer:
Other than Adobe Flash Pro (about the exact opposite of free), the only other choice I know of is www.openlaszlo.org/
Question 2:
Where can I find a job in 3D animation and visual effects?
Yes. There is an increase in demand for 3D Animation and Visual Effects professionals. The growth of news media attractions and the Entertainment and Gaming industry led to this demand. Animation and Visual Effects have been embraced by technical areas like automobile engineering, aerospace engineering, civil, pharmaceutical, medicine and architecture as well.
A career in Animation and Visual effects is for those who have a creative mind and a soaring imagination. Besides being creative, you could use a professional degree in 3D Animation and Visual Effects. Courses are available world wide to pursue masters in this.
But if you are not able to go after a degree - you might be able to volunteer to work alongside professionals in the field as an intern, volunteering to work as you learn and gain valueable experience.
The disciplines in this profession include visual effects artist, texture artist, technical director, lighting artist, pre-visualisation artist, character animator and modeller. Whatever areago after remember, knowledge in traditional arts and animation skills on computer is the foundation. So, start there. Talk to those who are already doing this type of work and listen to their advise.
Professionals in 3D Animation and Visual Effects can find work in video game design, motion picture effects, DVD production, internet site design as well as ad design, television broadcast animation, and for entertainment like music concerts, comedy shows, and amusement rides that use animation.
You will also find plenty of job openings for education, corporate, health care, and governmental operations, including office training films, trade shows, and flight training video, and college course animations broadcast in the classroom or through web streaming video. This certainly does reflect the massive demand for 3d artists and animators in a variety of field.
Here are some of the top schools offering professional degrees and hands on training in 3D Animation and Visual Effects:
* National Institute of Design – Ahmedabad, India
* E-dutainment Unlimited-Mumbai, India
* Nanyang Tecnological University-Singapore
* Hongik University, Korea
* Gnomon Institute of visual effects, USA

* Royal College of Art, UK
* National Film and Television School, UK
* Filmakademie Baden-Wuerttemburg, Germany
* THE ÉCOLE NATIONALE SUPÉRIEURE DES ARTS DÉCORATIFS (ENSAD), France
Some of the graduates from these schools have worked at Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks skg, Blue Sky Studio and Nickelodeon. Pretty cool - huh? These are some of the top users and producers of 3D Animation and Visual Effects.
There are plenty of job opportunities if you have background, experience and can really apply yourself in Animation and Visual Effects. You will find a lot out there in the world - if you study, work and continue to ask Allah for His Help.
Before you start - remember to check out the strongest opinions for drawing humans and animals and be sure to seek Allah's guidance, asking Him what He wants for you in this regard.
