This is the computer age, wherein technological advances have opened up a much larger canvas for artists to indulge in, and now it is the mouse, rather than the brush that is used to give vent to the artist's imagination. This has created innumerable careers that didn't exist earlier
Remember the movie, Twister, where a crow flew across the screen? Or Independence Day, where alien spaceships threatened the existence of planet Earth? The mind-blowing special effects in cartoon films, movies like Matrix or the more recent, Spiderman and even Indian movies such as Hey Ram and Hindustani and the special effects in Daler Mehndi’s famous music albums.
Behind all these breathtaking effects is — guess who — a multimedia artist at work who specialises in animation. Artists today do not just work with easels, palettes and brushes. This is the computer age, wherein technological advances have opened up a much larger canvas for artists to indulge in. This includes a plethora of activities, from creating a presentation style for a given topic, to visualising the graphic elements in an application and creating cartoon characters.
Multimedia technology is something that integrates video, audio, text and graphic components in an interactive format from movies to educational tutors. Its applications are wide-ranging, and career opportunities for multimedia specialists include high growth careers in music, publishing, graphic arts, films, television, advertising and corporate communications.
Basically, there are two main work areas for a multimedia professional. One is creation of graphics, animation and usage of audio-video. The other area is: application of multimedia for a range of usages including books, CD-Roms, corporate and marketing presentations, TV and films. Areas of work Radio, television, advertising and the film industry: Editors, together with the film directors, create their films with graphic designers who generate all the graphics and special effects on the computer. Often, this is handled in conjunction with sound recordists who add their inputs using multimedia to create results that truly blow your mind. Interactive multimedia: Multimedia specialists function as web designers and developers for interactive portals.
