“Courses at MAAC are at par with industry standards. They train you in all the software used for creating stunning VFX movies we see today.”

I joined MAAC in 2006 after completing my degree in computer engineering. With the guidance of my faculty I applied for an apprentice program at Rhythm & Hues Studios. This was the beginning of my career in the VFX industry. Four years later I went to Singapore to join Double Negative Visual Effects where I worked on some of the best movies in the world. I also worked on a number of ad films for renowned brands.
MAAC is a great institute for those who are serious & passionate about learning. Events like 24FPS will help you learn about managing & executing from concept to delivery, and teach you the importance of teamwork.
No doubt, training at MAAC will set the foundation for a successful VFX career.

MAAC launched me into this wonderful career that I cherish everyday. The training I received was the perfect balance between aestetics & technical knowledge. I was fortunate to work on projects like Puss in Boots, Merry Madagascar, Scared Shrekless & Mad Valentine.

Today I am a specialist in light rigging, rendering & compositing. I am also responsible for training new joinees & managing my own team. The Penguins of Madagascar was my latest project.

“My days at MAAC can be described as every penny well spent”

I joined MAAC because I knew they promised quality & delivered on it. MAAC was a fun experience. We had access to latest software & high-end infrastructure. The best part was the support that I received from the instructors, not just during the course but even after the course was over.
I could successfully make my own game, thanks to my trainers, who provided constructive feedback. The project also helped me secure admission at Vancouver Film School for its game design program with a scholarship of 5000 Canadian Dollars.

“The management helps us by providing extra-curricular activities and events.”

I am studying AD3D Edge at MAAC. The management helps us by providing extra-curricular activities and events. My area of interest is cinematography and I have done a few short films at our campus. The experience that I got from making these films helped me while handling the camera during the cinematography of Noda Banniro. I am happy to be a student of MAAC and hoping to do more at MAAC.
