The show was anchored by Aditi Paul, RJ of Radio Meow (104.8 FM) and the award ceremony was peppered by performances in mime and short skit by the students. Speaking on the occasion, Ramesh Ruia, Director of Arena Park Street emphasized that “Creativity” was an important part of animation and often training institutes ignored this vital component. We want to create an environment to encourage lateral thinking and wean away the students from their focus on “tools” and guide them in to thinking about the creative side of animation too, hence this event, added Ruia.
June Malia and Arijit Dutta, both re-iterated that the future for the animation students was bright and that there was tremendous scope for building a sound career in this field. Mr. Dutta appreciated the effort by Arena, Park Street to encourage creativity.
