The HAT or “The Holistic Animation Training Methodology” is a unique training methodology which is proprietary to Arena Animation at Park Street and is designed for Maximum Impact in animation learning and creative take-away by the students.
The methodology fuses and crafts the latent talent hidden in the animation student with the eclectic skills required to be an animator and works to the advantage of both, the learner and the requirements of the industry where they are likely to be placed eventually. In other words the end product of this methodology is a “placement ready” candidate.
Just like one cannot become a “Fashion Designer” by learning “tailoring”, one cannot become an “Animator” by learning “Software” alone.
The H.A.T methodology disengages the student’s mindset from mere “tool” or “software” leanings and forces their creative juices to flow. It teaches them to use software as a tool to achieve their objective and not as the objective itself – a common mistake made by most training schools in India.
This methodology encompasses all the aspects of animation development and makes the student go through the entire animation production pipeline including “design visualisation” & “pre-production”. Emphasis is given on story, screenplay, script, sketching, drawing and other creative dimensions like acting, direction, music, costumes, background and critical analysis to bring out the best in terms of creativity in an animation film.

the HAT methodology is best for creating good animators. it has good logic.
but?????????
one should not forget the importance of softwares these days.
one thing i can say as example. if any student dont know MAYA properly he or she is not capable of working in 3d production houses.
and one more thing. there is one more negative thing is there. we are applying HAT but it should not happen that our students will go to the market without proper knowledge
in the technical part. we should not concentrate as much to this methodology that we forget the technical part totally. we have to control ourself.
in the production pipeline the HAT methodology changes day by day. so we also have to update ourself with this new consept.
Point Taken. However The HAT methodology is not subtracting from Tool Training but only adding a) Design Visualisation & b) Pre - Production techniques. So where is the problem?
The methodology is dynamic in nature and is designed for adaptability and in no way asks for technicality to be ignored.
