Why The Institute?

MAAC holds an edge over any institute in the same field because of its USP, which revolves around CREATIVITY and PEDAGOGY. The three-fold MAAC advantage revolves around the following benefits:

Creative Team : MAAC is promoted and run by a team of creative professionals who thrive on their imagination and inspiration. Moreover the instructors are industry experienced.

End Users : MAYA Entertainment, the parent group is the real life end user of all that is being offered by MAAC - both in terms of the inputs (the software) and the outputs (the trained students - since the really talented ones are absorbed in the organization itself). Also MAAC is one of the very few institutes that offer Character Animation.

Real Life Environment: Because of the business constituents of MEL, the students are trained in an On-the-job environment. Hence, the training also incorporates additional intricate elements like camera angles, storyboards, editing. MAAC's competitors, due to infrastructural constraints cannot recreate this On-the-job environment.

Bangalore: Just few years back, animation was taken as kid's entertainment and was restricted to cartoons. But that's not the case anymore.

Some of the movies that depended hugely on an ultra-modern animation technology and complex computer graphics are Jurassic Park, Independence Day, Tomb Raider, Harry Potter, Dhoom, Rang De Basanti, Ghajini and Raaz. And if this is less, then many giant companies like Walt Disney, Sony Pictures and Turner Entertainment are off-shoring animation content to India”,
