What Our Students Say
Learning node-based compositing with multi-pass EXR changed my career. I was placed at a Chennai VFX studio within 6 weeks, working on Tamil film shots from the start.
I never imagined I would simulate fire and fluids. The trainer showed real production shots, and the AI module was a great modern addition.
The Mocha Pro and roto training prepared me for complex shots. I got my first Tamil film credit within 8 months of finishing.
Using Topaz for restoration and AI for matte paintings saves me a lot of time on every shot.
The breakdown reel from the final module got me 4 studio interview calls in one week. I now work remotely for a Mumbai studio from Coimbatore.
Real shot practice, proper industry software and trainers who have worked on Tamil films. The colour and delivery module was very relevant for OTT work.
