It is very welcome to know that there is an Animation Studio in Goa, (Talon Animations), which is situated in the heart of Panaji. For a long time now, we have been reading that the Animation Industry is non-existent here, all the more so since Panaji is now the venue of IFFI and more recently the South Asian Film Festival.
What makes it surprising is that this studio has been operating in Goa since 2005! This (media shy) studio, which by the way has been started by Goans, has made us Goans proud that we stand as high (if not higher) than any other state in the country. However, the recent report in the Times of India, (Goa Edition), brings to light the fact that there are no institutes to train our future Goans in the field of Animation, which has such a bright job potential for our budding youngsters. It is hoped that in future, we will have a few institutes in Goa which will fill this gap. Kiran Sawant
