MAAC HEROES

“Joining MAAC was a life changing decision for me.”
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.

Mandeep Singh Randhawa

FX artist at Technicolour Studio

“I wanted to explore something which I am passionate about and something which I want to learn from heart. I was very fond of sketching and enjoyed working in computer. So, I wanted to go ahead in life with these two things. I attended a seminar by MAAC in my school. And the seminar helped me realise my dreams. I didn't do any general graduation course and joined MAAC. I have learnt a lot by working on live projects with the seniors and faculty at MAAC. I possess expertise in VFX, 3D Animation, e-learning, and films. I am currently working as a FX artist in Technicolour Studio, Bangalore. I have worked in top-notch 3D and VFX films. FX is my jalwa, which I found at MAAC.”

Swapan Shah

“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 Arindam Bairagi Sir and Amit Mazumder Sir, 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.

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.
