July 19th is the Anniversary Day of Arena Animation Dilsukhnagar. The 'Best Centre' has uniquely proclaimed its anniversary as VFX (Visualize, Feel, Experience) to bring it closer to its students.

Each year VFX showcases a spectacular presentation on a seminal Animation/Multimedia topic by an eminent personality. Industry luminaries are also invited to engage in enlightening knowledge-sharing sessions. The cultural festivities that follow add ample vibrancy to the Anniversary.

VFX culminates in the much awaited Prize Distribution. The coveted Arena Animation Dilsukhnagar Proficiency Awards (PRODIGI Awards) are conferred upon the best student works across various categories.

VFX 2011 - Celebrating 13 Years Of Pixellence:

White House turns colourful as Dilsukhnagar Arena checks-in to celebrate its 13th Anniversary

The monsoons which were active till the other day retreated briefly on Sunday, the 17th of July, 2011, perhaps, to allow India’s Largest Digital Media Academy to conduct its 13th Anniversary extravaganza in style. Like pilgrims flocking a sanctum sanctorum, a 3000-strong crowd breezed into White House at LB Nagar, the majestic venue of the celebrations.

The auditorium was packed to capacity and was buzzing softly with eagerness as the Chief Guest arrived to a warm welcome. A devotional hymn by students lent a divine touch to the proceedings as the Chief Guest and 'Guests of Honour' lit the flower-bedecked 'deepam' to symbolize commencement of Dilsukhnagar Arena's 13th Anniversary Celebrations.

And booooommm! Riveting confetti of inspiration, song and dance exploded as the fun-quake in the auditorium shot up the Richter scale.

Mr. Srinivas Mohan, VFX Expert of 'Indian Artists' and three-time national award winner graced the event as the Chief Guest while Mr. Naveen Medaram, VFX expert from UK and a highly successful alumnus of Dilsukhnagar Arena along with Mr. Basireddy, CEO of Digi Quest Studios attended the extravaganza as Guests of Honour.

The celebrations witnessed the launch of the 3D Animation Short Film 'Twisted' crafted by Animation interns of DNA Inc. (Dilsukhnagar Arena Incubation). A string of entertainment programs added ample fun to the day while in-depth presentations on the behind-the-scenes of the film 'Robo' and a few Hollywood films by Mr. Srinivas and Mr. Naveen proved truly enriching. The day ended on a high as the prestigious Prodigi Awards were personally presented to winners by the CEO of Dilsukhnagar Arena, Mr. Raja Sekhar Buggaveeti.
