The 100-Hour Studio Experience

The 100-Hour Studio Exposure Program is an intensive, 8-hour, production-driven experience in a real studio-like environment on campus. Over a focused stretch of 100 hours, learners work in studio-simulated spaces with live cameras, chroma setups, and professional lighting, creating a complete digital short film, from conceptualization to final cut, across 2D, 3D, AI and VFX. Students from every academic year step into a true studio workflow,developing an idea, planning the shoot, working on set, and editing the final output; while following an actual production schedule. This experience helps them build project discipline, teamwork, and time management, along with practical confidence in handling professional setups. The completed film becomes a portfolio-ready project that enhances employability.

The program is implemented through active in-house production teams:

Epic Frame Studio 3D animation
Aura FX Studio – VFX film production
Ink Flow Studio – 2D animation
Nexus AI Studio – AI film production

Aura FX Studio – VFX film production

Students work closely with faculty members who are engaged full-time during the six production days, ensuring guided learning and continuous support. Participants also receive a certificate on completion, recognizing their hands-on production experience.
