    In India, a new animation revolution is underway. While TV channels like Cartoon Network,

    Disney Channel, Hungama, Pogo and Animax are bringing world-class animation to

    households, movies like Avatar and Up are reaching out to audiences beyond children.

    Technological advancements have increased the accessibility and utility of animated

    content, and today animation has spread to video games, television news content,

    e-Education and mobile games. Even sectors like medicine, automobile and defense are

    making use of animation in a big way.

    A multi-billion dollar industry, animation is also generating a great deal of employment. The

    animation industry offers career opportunities in a range of profiles - from technology-based

    jobs such as compositing and game designing to creative profiles like visual-effects

    supervisors, 3D modelers and character animators. Of course, all of these profiles demand a

    highly skilled and trained workforce. This is where MAAC comes in.

    An Introductionto Animation

    Here doodles give birth to superheroes. Magic turns muse. And daydreams

    At MAAC, we not only encourage you to reach for the stars, we also show you

    the way. Not only do we have the best faculty and infrastructure to inspire you,

    we also have an enviable record of awards and placements to help you

    benchmark your ambition.

    Our job doesnt end with just imparting real skills. It also involves helping you find the best possible place to

    express your creativity and talent. MAACs dedicated placement cell continuously networks with the industry to

    spot openings for our students. Our campuses are a favourite destination for the cream of the animation industry

    when they want to hire the best entry-level talent.

    While MAAC provides pre-placement advice and co-ordinates campus interviews by recruiters, many of our

    students also get employed without availing these services. Below are just a few of the recruiters who rely on us.

    MAAC does not guarantee or claim placement for everyone. While we impart the best education and help students with soft skills like personality development and interview skills,

    student placement ultimately depends on the student's own merits, skills, knowledge, overall personality and the quality of the show-reel presented by the student to the recruiters.

    Academic knowledge is not useful without exposure to the real world. Likewise, there can be no

    industry without a community. Our thought process is always energised to provide students with

    a well-rounded educational experience, through industry exposure, networking, showcase

    events and contests.

    Industry Interface

    3D animation is a techno-creative industry which requires high-end infrastructure. MAAC centres

    computers equipped with graphics accelerator cards, Wacom tablets, TFT monitors and the latest

    softwares. MAAC centres ensure that a student enjoys an experience comparable to a professional

    production studio. In addition, counselor cabins and faculty offices are provided and no wall is left
