A Growing Trend: Students Choose SXILL for Excellence in Animation
Students from some of India’s top animation institutes are making the switch to SXILL, citing issues like overcrowded classrooms and insufficient faculty attention as key reasons. Among these students is Hardit Singh, a highly talented animator from Chennai, whose inspiring journey highlights why SXILL stands out as a premier destination for advanced 3D character animation training.
Hardit Singh’s Journey: From Disappointment to Excellence
Hardit’s passion for animation began early, with his caricature art displayed at exhibitions and a solo showcase at Alliance Française by the age of 12. Enthralled by the animation world, he enrolled at a reputed institute in Kerala, eager to learn.
Despite excelling in his class and choosing character animation as his specialization, Hardit faced a harsh reality upon completing his course:
- Lack of Job Opportunities: His institute failed to provide placement support.
- Insufficient Training: A portfolio review at SXILL revealed gaps in his understanding of animation fundamentals, including the principles of animation.
Determined to pursue his dream, Hardit enrolled at SXILL and experienced a dramatic transformation.
Why SXILL Made the Difference
At SXILL, Hardit received personalized mentorship from seasoned industry experts, including the Ex-Lead Supervisor and Proxy Director of Motu Patlu. Over just five months, he progressed significantly:
- Hands-On Training: Focused, project-based learning tailored to his needs.
- Regular Feedback: Industry experts, including professionals from Technicolor Studios, reviewed his work, providing invaluable insights.
- Laddering Program: Hardit joined the SXILLUP Program, which offers advanced training and portfolio refinement.
Today, Hardit’s new showreel demonstrates a stark improvement, giving him the confidence to compete in the industry.
Student Testimonials Highlight SXILL’s Impact
Hardit shared his experience:
“Earlier, I was one of 200 students in a crowded class. At SXILL, I have direct access to my faculty and receive daily feedback. In less than two years, I’ll be job-ready, whereas many of my peers are stuck in lengthy university programs without the same prospects.”
What Sets SXILL Apart
Neelu Kapoor, Founder of SXILL and an Indian Graphics Expert at Indiaskills, explained:
“Hardit’s story is a testament to the importance of quality over quantity. Unlike large institutes that prioritize profit over education, SXILL maintains small batches of just 20 students to ensure personalized attention and skill development. Our programs, backed by MESC/NSDC, also provide government-recognized certification aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP), enhancing our students’ career prospects.”
Why Students Are Switching to SXILL
Students from various reputed institutes are moving to SXILL for advanced animation training. The focus on small batches, industry-aligned curricula, and mentorship from top professionals ensures that SXILL students are job-ready and competitive in a global market.
