Welcome to Save

School of Animation and Visual effects was founded on the philosophy that concentrated production work combined with industry-led theory is more valuable than purely theoretical instruction. This unique educational model has proven to be successful across our 11 programs, allowing students to achieve more than at any other school.

In "SAVE", students receive a rigorous and comprehensive education including lectures, tutorials, productions, collaborations with other departments, mentorship with working professionals, and insight from guest speakers.

The keys to the SAVE model are intensity and structure: there's no such thing as "down time" at SAVE - unlike university and college educations, each term, each week, each day is filled with learning and creating. And rather than picking and choosing from a variety of courses, your SAVE education is carefully designed so that the courses and projects in each term build directly upon what you learned the term before.

This is why one intensive year at SAVE is the equivalent of a 3 or 4 year program at another academic institution. It's also what makes a SAVE education perfect for students who don't want to spend a lot of time in school before starting their careers in the entertainment industry.

I am sure you would be confused that what do the above figures stand for? Are they price tags of expensive products or is it all about bidding for any luxurious bungalow.

The answer would be perhaps beyond your imagination. These are revenues earned by Fahrenheit 9/11, March of the Penguins & Sicko, documentary films that have taken the world by storm.

Yes documentaries can leave us awestricken and can even earn fortunes. Often it has acted as the first step on the journey to the eternal fame, in a filmmaker’s career.

Pather Panchali is considered to be as one of the best films ever made. The film brought recognition to the Indian maestro internationally when it was awarded the Best Human Documentary at Cannes Film Festival in 1956.

Satyajit Ray won the President’s gold medal in 1974 for the documentary film- The Inner Eye to pay homage to his teacher at Viswabharati- Binode Bihari Mukhopadhay, this is arguably one of the best ways to express ones feeling for the beloved.

To provide an opportunity to express our feelings about the city of Joy, Kolkata, SAVE (School of Animation & Visual Effects) has organized a unique completion of documentary film making commencing from 9th April, 2012 onwards.

Anyone can shoot a documentary of 5 minutes duration but only with their mobile phone, based on the theme “City of Joy”.

Phone-O-Shoot as it is named is surely going to produce an extra flow of adrenalin within all creative minds.

Kolkata, the Mecca of creativity, is definitely to get the most mesmerizing entries in all three categories of the competition, Best Story, Best Cinematography & Best Editing.

We can assume prior that judges will have a tough time ahead.

Best of luck to all the CREATOGENIUS participants!
