New trailer & poster released for Pete Docter’s ‘Soul’
|
|
Pixar has just released a brand-new trailer, poster, and
images, for Pete Docter’s next film, Soul. Arriving in theatres
June 19, Soul tells the story of Joe Gardner, a middle-school
band teacher who gets the chance of a lifetime to play at the
best jazz club in town. But one small misstep takes him from
the streets of New York City to The Great Before – a fantastical
place where new souls get their personalities, quirks and
interests before they go to Earth. Determined to return to his
life, Joe teams up with a precocious soul, 22, who has never
understood the appeal of the human experience. As Joe
desperately tries to show 22 what’s great about living, he
may just discover the answers to some of life’s most
important questions.

The best game characters that defined 25 years of PlayStation
|
|
With PlayStation having been a part of our lives for 25 years,
you can bet that every single person will have their own
choice for which games character they love the best.
The Original PlayStation console came out on 3 December,
1994 and since then we have had hundreds of lead
characters we've played as and loved across all Sony's
machines, from the PlayStation to the PS4.

Because creativity is for everyone
|
|
We celebrated ‘Founder’s Day’ at
Arena, by organising a paper quilling
workshop for 50 specially-abled
children. It was a heartwarming
moment to see their faces beam up
with smiles, as the workshop mentor
taught them this art form.

The wall of women
|
|
How does one celebrate ‘Women's Day’
by involving students bubbling with
creativity? You give them 3 empty walls
and let them at it with artistic freedom.
Here are a few photos of their art that
celebrate the spirit of womanhood,
created under the guidance of their
mentors.

Building character
|
|
Understanding the nuances of
character design is essential for a
thriving career in animation and VFX,
Mr. Manjunath took multiple sessions
focusing on the same for more than
50 aspiring students, and the
feedback we received was very
enthusiastic.

The thought behind the design
|
|
Have you ever wondered why logos are a
specific shape and colour? More than 100
students learned the answer in multiple
sessions on the psychology of colour, logo
design and creativity. Mr. Suresh Kumar,
Regional Academic Head, spoke to the students,
and we received great feedback from them.

An iconic celebration of a gaming icon
|
|
Does the name Mario seem familiar to you?
That's because, he is the face of one of the
largest game franchises in existence -
Super Mario. Arena celebrated ‘Mario Day’
on 10th March, also known as ‘Mar10th Day’,
and we had a lot of fun indulging in
activities such as moulding clay models of
Mario, and a small lesson on the history of
the character.

|
Thinking design creatively
|
|
Good design relies on a thought
process that considers a lot of
aspects such as target audience,
the message it's trying to
convey, the importance of
colour etc. We explained the
same to our students through
an online technical session with
our faculty. 7 students attended
this, and the feedback was
outstanding.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Let's get technical
|
|
With the help of Mr. Swapnil Gaikwad, our
Regional Academic Head, we conducted
technical sessions covering various aspects for a
group of 15 students as well as our faculty.
These aspects included:
|
• Comprehensive briefings on Arena programs
• Academic portal structure
• Importance of Onlinevarsity and its mobile
application
• Faculty skill tests
• How to use Creosouls platform efficiently
• Academic reports

Workshops that are worth the work
|
|
Our students attended a workshop on rigging,
organised by Assemblage Entertainment which is
an animation studio based in Mumbai. The students
learned the tips and tricks of the trade and
interacted with experienced professionals from the
industry. It was a day of great learning and insights,
with excellent feedback from our students.

Stay at home, learn at home
|
|
The safety of our students is as important as their
success. We ensured they take live online classes from
the safety of their homes, even before the national
lockdown was put into eect, thanks to our technical
team. These classes played out as they would in a centre,
with industry-relevant curriculum, guidance from our
faculty, query resolutions, practical assignments and
even exams and certifications, all conducted online. 150
students from the Mumbai region attended these live
sessions, making it a huge success.

Here's a sneak peek at our online sessions:
