Animation course to be launched in capital

Maya Academy of Advanced Cinematics (MAAC), a leading animation and computer graphics training institute based in India will be shortly launching their courses in Nepal. The initiative is being taken viewing the growing market for animators in the country as well as in the region.
Talking to journalists in the capital today, Biju D, vice-president of Maya, the umbrella organization of MAAC, said that Nepal’s animation market is growing due to the increasing number of television channels in Nepal. The latest move of MAAC follows a policy spread outside India, where it has 15 centers.
Accredited of several animation films like Captain Vyom-the first animation TV serial in India, and the latest ‘Jajantaram Mamantaram’, MAAC was set up by renowned cine director Ketan Mehta, and his wife Ms Deepa Shahi, seeing the gap between the demands of the Indian film industry and the animation technology available in the country.
"Before launching our training centers here, we are willing to offer residential training courses in India," said Biju. He was positive that the move would help discover talents languishing in the country.
