AI won’t take your job.An artist who uses AI will.
Here’s the honest truth we tell every student: AI isn’t replacing animators — it’s removing the boring, repetitive parts so you can spend more time on the creative work that only a human can do. At Arena Kankurgachi, AI is built into every course, so you graduate as the artist who directs the tools, not the one replaced by them.
- ⚡Faster, not fewerAI handles rotoscoping, paint-out and clean-up — you focus on story, performance and design.
- 🎨Amplifies your creativityGenerate concepts, iterate styles and explore ideas in minutes, then craft the final shot by hand.
- 💼The skill studios now hire forProduction houses want artists who can direct an AI workflow with real judgment — that’s exactly what you’ll learn.
“AI will replace animators and artists.”
AI replaces tasks, not artists. The animator who knows how to wield it becomes faster, more creative and more valuable — and gets hired first.
Questions parents & students ask.
What is the fee, and is EMI available?
Fees depend on the program — from the 9-month VFX Compositing track to the flagship Trinity program. Every program has a transparent fee structure with 0% Bajaj Finance EMI, and we accept the West Bengal Student Credit Card. Book a free counselling session for exact figures.
Can I join after Class 10 or 12th?
Yes. Programs are open from Class 10 onwards, any stream, any board — no art or coding background needed.
Do you offer internships?
Yes — paid internship assistance during the course through our “Earn While You Learn” programme, so you gain real experience before you graduate.
Do you offer job placement?
We offer full placement support — our Placement Cell arranges interviews with major studios. Note: Arena Kankurgachi does not guarantee placements; they are at the sole discretion of recruiters.
Will AI make animation jobs disappear?
No — AI is changing how artists work, not replacing them. It automates repetitive tasks so you can focus on creativity, story and performance. Our courses are AI-enabled, so you graduate as the artist who directs the tools and gets hired first. That’s exactly why we’ve built Generative AI into every program.
Which software will I learn?
Industry-standard VFX tools — Nuke, Houdini FX, Maya, After Effects, ZBrush and Substance Painter, with AI-assisted compositing workflows integrated into the pipeline.
