The Wedding Planner "A Hidden Career"

Dear Friends!!!

Good Evening All..........

First of all I am back after a quite a long time...so i decided to bring something different this time. So here i am with the career opportunity as a "Wedding Planner". Hope you all have enjoyed the movie "Band Baja Baraat", the concept of this movie was same as our topic i.e. Wedding Planning....

Now the questions arises that What actually is Wedding Planning and How it can be opted as a Career? Lets talk about it in our todays session.

A wedding planner is a professional event planner who will use expert knowledge of the wedding industry to plan a couple's wedding. This role can include planning every event from the engagement right up to the honeymoon, including pre-wedding parties and post-wedding lunches. A wedding planner's primary goal is to feed inspiration, advice and support to the couple while planning a seamless string of events that culminates in an exceptional day for family and friends. Love may be in the air but in reality, the average wedding takes a staggering 250 hours to plan. A wedding planner can cut this time in half for the couple. Even more importantly, they can use their established relationships with reputable suppliers to get the best deals, at the best prices, for the big day. Due to the emotional nature of a wedding, a wedding planner acts as a neutral and objective professional to stave off stress, pressure, and arguments, ensuring the couple enjoy their engagement.The job begins with an initial consultation where a couple will describe their wedding dreams, likes and dislikes, list any special requirements and talk through a preliminary budget.

From this consultation, the wedding planner then sets about turning these dreams into a creative reality.
A wedding planner will have been to hundreds of weddings and have seen it all. They will know which suppliers to work with and which suppliers to avoid.

They are trained to know what type of wedding gown suits every body shape, how the colour wheel works for themes, what the best time of the year to take a cruise is, and hundreds more details that prevent upsetting mishaps for the happy couple.

Wedding planners can also advise on inter-religious, or inter-cultural weddings. This is a vital part of the role as wedding traditions vary greatly between cultures and countries but most will have their own rigorous traditions and proper etiquette that should be followed. Planners need to be well versed in this to guide the couple through unfamiliar territory seamlessly.

Wedding planners also use negotiating skills with the suppliers for the wedding to get the best discounts, deals and/or upgrades during the contract phase. Although the wedding planner assists in styling and theming the event, they never take over. Final decisions are always left to the client as a wedding is an emotional celebration and must be a reflection of the couple’s personality.

Working as a wedding planner is a time-consuming profession but one of the most rewarding and varied jobs in the market. The benefits are that most wedding planners own their own business, set their own schedule and work with a variety of clients. However, the hours are long since effectively most planners run two businesses: 'wedding planning' and the 'business'. Planners also often work seven days a week as most weddings tend to take place at the weekend.

Wedding planners also spend a lot of time travelling as, after a busy week, they may need to drive 200 miles to dress the venue late Friday night for a Saturday wedding or drive out to the country on a Thursday for a weekend wedding.
However, despite the dedication required, most wedding planners will testify that there is nothing more satisfying then seeing a happy bride as she walks into the reception venue for the first time.

Responsibilities

• Working directly with the vendors to cut out unnecessary time and stress for the bride and groom.
• Monitoring and tracking budgets and finances.
•  Monitoring and tracking guest lists and RSVPs.
• Conducting site visits and risk assessments.
• Compiling comprehensive itineraries for clients and vendors.
• Project managing and dealing with unforeseen problems in the lead up to the wedding.
• Working with the wedding co-ordinator, a venue staff member who will assist in executing the agreed itinerary for the wedding, as well as help with any problems that may arise on the day.
• Executing the agreed wedding itinerary seamlessly on the big day.

Qualifications
There are no formal qualifications required to become a wedding planner; however, since a wedding will be the most important, and expensive, event in someone’s life, they will want to commission someone with real credentials.

Skills

As a wedding planner you will need:
Communication skills
Organisational skills
Creativity
Tact
If you’re going to start your own business you will need to be competent in areas such as:
Marketing
Accounting
Human resources
Legal affairs
You will also need computing skills such as the ability to use word processing and data management programmes such as Microsoft Excel.
There are tos of free services for business start-ups, however, so take advantage of the free seminars and events and be sure you make an appointment with your local business advisor.
Using the Internet is a great advantage as the web is a great tool for wedding inspiration. For example, there are free trials of great tools such as Perfect Table Plan so you can plan the table and seating plans for the event.

Salary

Every wedding planner will find their own way to charge for their services and, depending on location, salaries will vary.  In the UK, a wedding planner could start off earning between £16,000 and £25,000. An established planner could make £30,000 - £70,000 and a high end planner with an impeccable reputation could make £300,000.

In India, this business is growing with a great speed and the money is also growing at a great speed......

Working conditions

The wedding industry is female dominated but some of the country's leading planners are male. Monday to Friday is often spent working with vendors, creating proposals and catching up on e-mails. At the weekend you will usually work onsite at the venue, where the wedding is taking place.

The job can be strenuous. For example, it may require carrying stacks of chairs from one room to another, decorating high areas at the venue in fairy lights for example, and carrying wedding gifts back and forth from the ceremony to the reception and then from the reception to the car park.

The work location varies constantly. Client meetings usually take place in a convenient and public location such as a coffee shop or hotel lobby, and vendor meetings usually occur at the vendor’s location so that a planner can work with their products and see what they have to offer.

Employers
Most wedding planners are self-employed but there will often be vacancies as an administrator or assistant in a wedding planning or event management company.

Thats all in this sessions......Hopw you all will like this information.

Career in Animation, How?

Hello Friends..

"Good Evening"

Hope you are enjoying best of your life...........

Animation..the word seems to be very attractive when we hear it, and is very true. We always love watching animated movies, cartoons, movies with special effects. So today we'll discuss, What is Animation and How one can achieve any degree in it? Moreover we will also look at job and salary aspects of this field.

No.1 Indian Cartoon:

g

Right from our childhood, we used to see Cartoon Network, POGO, NICK etc, and we had some favorites characters such as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Superman, Spider man etc. Time changed but cartoons remains a medium of entertainment and that too with some great enhancements such as 3D cartoon etc. Now these are merely a thing to entertain kids but they are well capable of entertaining adults too. And this animation industry is here to stay and if you will listen to my heart, then I will say it is the future of entertainment in both Hollywood and Bollywood industry. Today we hardly see any movie without  any special effects in it. This animation industry has completely changed the way of watching  movies.

 Today in Indian every new movie contains different special effects which really gives us a shock. Latest movies such as Ra.one, Adventures of Tintin etc were full of VFX effects and had made movies a step ahead.

Moreover, if we talk about Indian Music Video industry especially in Punjab and South, we usually see a lot of special effects. So I can say this special industry has a special future.

Latest in Bollywood, Ra.One:

Animation Degree: Why one should go for Animation Degree?

Reason 1 : Number of animation projects outsourced to India is keeping on increasing aggressively. Hence the demand for qualified workforce is also increasing steadily.

Reason 2 : With an animation degree, you not only get a job with any Indian company, but a couple of years of experience after getting a degree, can get you jobs abroad.

Reason 3 : Animation jobs are amongst the highest paid in the industry due to the lack of talented workforce. Apart from regular jobs you can also carry out freelance animation projects which can earn you good part time money.

We have B.Sc. and M.Sc. degree in Animation now a days...

Computer Animation Career Summary

They work primarily in the television, film, advertising and computer services industries. The creations of Computer Animators can be found everywhere, from Saturday morning cartoons to the commercial for your favorite crackers.

One important job of Computer Animators is drawing storyboards that display, in still images, the sequence of a proposed animation. Once a storyboard is approved, Computer Animators advance to the digital side of the animation process. Using computers, they create 2-D or 3-D images from the sketched storyboards and employ various software to animate the images.

Computer Animators must be creative and artistically inclined individuals with excellent attention to detail. Not only do Computer Animators sketch the main characters and scenarios in an animation, they also create every background, set and prop. A full animation can take anywhere from days to years to complete.

What is Stereoscopic 3D?

Hi all!!!!

"Good Afternoon"

"Welcome again with something new in store,  Hope you are all enjoying sunday,

Today we'll talk about Stereoscopic 3D or 3D imaging......

We all go and see many 3D movies with the help special goggles consisting of red and cyan lenses....we are told to wear them before going inside the cinema hall....So what exactly we see?

Friends, A 3D stereoscopic is the illusion of depth in a two dimensional image. And it is an illusion. It involves presenting two images of the same subject, each from a different position, then tricking the brain into merging these into one. This happens by showing each eye a different image. 

We can demonstrate it with the help of following example:

Place your finger at a distance from your eyes, now look at it with the help your eye(one at a time and closing the other), what we will see is that the two different angles have been formed when we look from left and right eye respectively. It seems that we are looking at two different pictures, but our brain take it as one single image. This is the base of stereoscopic images and movies.....What we is simply click two different pictures with two different cameras of same object at two different angles and then present it to our eyes.....and 3d glasses helps us viewing these images and then our brain does the rest...

Lets talk about some of its history,

The word stereoscopy derives from the Greek "στερεός" (stereos), "firm, solid"[9] + "σκοπέω" (skopeō), "to look", "to see".

Stereoscopy creates the illusion of three-dimensional depth from images on a two-dimensional plane. Human vision uses several cues to determine relative depths in a perceived scene.

Stereoscopy is used in photogrammetry and also for entertainment through the production of stereograms. Stereoscopy is useful in viewing images rendered from large multi-dimensional data sets such as are produced by experimental data. An early patent for 3D imaging in cinema and television was granted to physicist Theodor V. Ionescu in 1936. Modern industrial three-dimensional photography may use 3D scanners to detect and record three-dimensional information.[7] The three-dimensional depth information can be reconstructed from two images using a computer by corresponding the pixels in the left and right images (e.g.,[8]). Solving the Correspondence problem in the field of Computer Vision aims to create meaningful depth information from two images.

Viewing 3D

Traditional stereoscopic photography consists of creating a 3-D illusion starting from a pair of 2-D images, a stereogram. The easiest way to enhance depth perception in the brain is to provide the eyes of the viewer with two different images, representing two perspectives of the same object, with a minor deviation exactly equal to the perspectives that both eyes naturally receive in binocular vision.

If eyestrain and distortion are to be avoided, each of the two 2-D images preferably should be presented to each eye of the viewer so that any object at infinite distance seen by the viewer should be perceived by that eye while it is oriented straight ahead, the viewer's eyes being neither crossed nor diverging. When the picture contains no object at infinite distance, such as a horizon or a cloud, the pictures should be spaced correspondingly closer together.

The side-by-side method is extremely simple to create, but it can be difficult or uncomfortable to view without optical aids. One such aid for non-crossed images is the modern Pokescope. Traditional stereoscopes such as the Holmes can be used as well. Cross view technique now has the simple Perfect-Chroma cross viewing glasses to facilitate viewing.

Microbiologist's Profile

Hi Friends!!!

"Good Evening"

So today we'll talk about Microbiologist.......

Microbiologist is a Scientist who works in the field of microbiology. He investigate the growth and characteristics of microscopic organisms such as bacteria, algae, or fungi.  microbiologists specialize in environmental, food, agricultural, or industrial microbiology; virology (the study of viruses); immunology (the study of mechanisms that fight infections); or bioinformatics. 

Nature of Work:

Microbiologists study the growth, structure, development, and general characteristics of bacteria and other microorganisms. They examine physiological, morphological, and cultural characteristics, using microscopes, to identify microorganisms. They may isolate and make cultures of bacteria or other microorganisms in prescribed media, controlling moisture, aeration, temperature, and nutrition; conduct chemical analyses of substances, such as acids, alcohols, and enzymes; and research the use of bacteria and microorganisms to develop vitamins, antibiotics, alcohol, foods, and plastics.

Microbiologists usually work regular hours in offices or laboratories and usually are not exposed to unsafe or unhealthy conditions. Those who work with dangerous organisms or toxic substances in the laboratory must follow strict safety procedures to avoid contamination.

Qualifications:

A bachelor's degree is adequate for some nonresearch microbiology-related jobs, such as serving as a technician or an inspector in the food industry. However, the majority of microbiology jobs require at least a master's degree. A master's degree is sufficient for many jobs in applied research or product development, as well as for jobs in management, inspection, sales, and service. To conduct independent research, in either industry or in academia, or for advancement to administrative positions, a PhD is usually necessary.
