The studios will facilitate live projects and intensive industry interaction for the DAE students.

Each studio has hi-end apparatus and facilities such as DV Cams, Green Matt room for compositing and visual effects, Animation light boxes, Hi-end scanners, Hi- end Editing software etc. and the students will be allowed to handle them personally, enabling them to understand the techniques involved in the various stages of SFX such as pre-production, production and post-production. The students will also get to work on real-time projects involving hi-end multimedia technology giving them the professional edge that is needed in the intensely competitive world of animation and designing. Highly experienced faculty at each centre enables the students to understand and learn the finer nuances of animation.

Designed with inputs from the industry, the DAE offers a unique blend of digital and analog art skills. The program greatly emphasizes on teaching the students to integrate both the processes of 2D as well as 3D, with a focus on skill development, right from ideation to execution.
