Your Journey to Enrolment

Faculty do not just learn about photogrammetry. They scan themselves and create 3D assets. They do not just study motion capture. They wear the suit, perform and drive characters in real time. They do not simply discuss virtual production. They work with the volume stage, LED wall, DMX lighting and camera tracking systems themselves. 

The same applies to AI filmmaking. Faculty do not just learn about the tools. They create with them, producing short films, AI-generated music, voice, Foley, VFX, 3D assets and IP pitch decks while experiencing contemporary AVGC-XR workflows firsthand. 

Across three batches, faculty have created finished films, 3D characters and environments, photogrammetry scans, motion-captured sequences, AI-generated sound and professionally graded footage. Many have also taken these learnings back to their classrooms, using them to develop new student projects, electives and research initiatives. 

 

The measure of this programme is not attendance. It is output.   

In AVGC, Experience Gives You a Foundation. Upgradation Keeps You Relevant.
