About Vijay Amarnath
I directed my first animation frame in 2000 — by hand — in a studio with no internet.
Today I direct complete AI animated episodes, solo, in 10 days.
In between: 28 years. 4 continents. 100+ TV commercials. A Mahabharata 2K film. Key Animator at Millimages, France. Assistant Director to Balu Mahendra — 5-time National Award winner. Senior Animator at Pentafour on Walt Disney productions. Creative projects across Africa. He Kākano education film for the New Zealand Minister of Māori Development. International shoots in Bangkok. 600+ students trained. 50 published books on Amazon.
One thing stayed constant across all of it:
The tools change. The craft never does.
---
That belief became the AIM Framework.
The only AI animation production methodology built on decades of real film direction across four continents.
A — Articulate your story.
Story first. Always. Before a single prompt is written.
I — Imagine and build.
Complete pre-production. Shot lists. Storyboards. Style guides. Everything planned before generation begins.
M — Make and deliver.
Professional craft. Commercial standard. On time.
Every great AI animation starts with an AIM.

Currently directing 76 AI animated episodes and developing my first AI animated feature film.
