Dear MaaC Vashi team,

  One of the best things that happened in Mumbai is our association with MaaC Vashi. Within a few days of our arrival, we got our son Arjun enrolled. And since then, it has been a wonderful journey of learning various aspects of CGI or Computer-Generated Graphics, the bedrock of modern visual content production.

MaaC Vashi loads enough firepower into their students to find a job in the ever-growing VFX, Visual Effects trained candidates. Also, will help build a freelancing or coaching career along the way. Almost all best-in-class software was taught with interactive hand-on mode backed by robust infra at the center.

Software like Autodesk 3DS Max and Autodesk Maya, Cinema 4D, Blender, Arnold and Nuke to name a few. The coaching staff are both very able and equipped. Always approachable and interactive. Thanks to Digambar sir and Rahul sir, who have always been guiding, inspiring and always shared feedback to motivate the students.

MaaC Vashi helped participate in industry relevant events like 24FPS and 100 Hour. Which was like icing on the cake. Helped candidates earn the recognition, appreciate the market, and learn from peers and senior pros in the industry.

There was even an introduction to movie making. Under guidance of Sandip sir aka Sandy, the students pulled off making a wonderful short film, called ‘Pari’, which was shot in remote locations of a Rajasthani village. The movie was well appreciated and awarded.

In a different aspect, MaaC Vashi has proven its determination through the pandemic times. Rolling out online classes very effectively to all the students. Even conducted online events to keep the students creating more and stay motivated.

Last but not the least, any appreciation of MaaC Vashi will be incomplete without mentioning the effervescent presence of Lata Vyas, aka Lata ma’am. She has always been there to help, coordinate, listen to students and parents alike. Her caring and guiding will never be forgotten.

Leaving Mumbai with a promise to come back soon. Leaving with a sweet memory of MaaC Vashi.

Thanks and regards.

Jagannath Basu
