This report is a short description of my four-week internship, carried out as a compulsory component of the M.Des. course. The internship was carried out at Hopmotion Studios in May 2016. Since I am interested in animation, the work was concentrated on character animation, rigging, colouring, and layering. It also provided the experience of working in an animation studio.

Hopmotion is a digital 2D animation studio engaged in creating broadcast-quality content for clients in India and around the world. Other works include the TV animated series Choti Anandi. During this period at the Hopmotion studios, we got hands-on experience with many job roles. We also got the chance to work on the live project, which included character animation and prop creation.

The following text contains my activities that have contributed to achieving my stated objectives. In the following chapter, a description of the organisation Hopmotion and its activities is given. After this, a reflection on my functioning and the learning goals achieved during the internship are described. Finally, I give a conclusion on the internship experience according to my learnings.
