Case Studies and Demo Reel (1 Month)
Apart from the comprehensive course that we offer, we always keep our students up-to-date with the latest trends and latest work done by the Industry. We discuss how a particular shot has been composed and how it has been thought before it has been actually taken. We equip students with the knowledge along with the skill set through proper counseling and teaching. How a director or an animator thinks before working is what we teach students. So they have a strong visualization of their concepts. One thing that makes or breaks a film or animation is the concept and how it has been presented. Through proper case studies we guide students and make them independent so they can be future geniuses in every field.After being equipped with all the necessary tools and tricks, now it’s time for students to showcase their work in the form of an animatronics/ short film. They may choose to Build a Demo Reel demonstrating any specific area in which they want to work.

Live Projects & Industrial Training
We have our own production studio Smoketech Pvt. Ltd.(www.smokecolors.com) where all the students get to work on live projects in 3D , Graphics, Web Designing, Motion Graphics, 2D and many more.

This immensely builds confidence in our students.Apart from these courses we also offer 3 Months/ 6 Months industrial training to the students already pursuing BSC or MSC in Multimedia.
