The History of ZICA
India's Premier Classical & Digital Animation Institute
Zee Institute of Creative Art (ZICA) is the nation's first full-fledged Classical and Digital Animation Training Academy that trains youth in classical 2D and modern 3D animation. The past fifteen years has seen the institute nurture some of the brightest talents in the world of animation. The institute has adopted a novel training style and is focused entirely on creating a stimulating environment for its students.
“Zee Institute of Creative Art, with its state-of-the-art infrastructure, gives practical training in
2D Animation, 3D Animation, Visual Effects & Gaming, covering the stages of visualization,
Pre-production, production and post-production. At ZICA, a lot of emphasis is laid on the principles of art and design and fundamentals of classical animation, while extracting the same knowledge to computer based Digital animation. Students are also assured of creative exposure with a healthy mix of theory and practical sessions, delivered with the right amalgamation of Art & technology, under the supervision of in-house experienced faculties and industry experts from India and abroad.“
ZICA’s Training Studio is equipped with high end animation tools, 2D animation facilities, 3D software, Visual FX Labs and imaging technologies. After every semester, a well laid out assessment procedure ensures the students’ acceptability as dignified professionals in the world of animation.
ZICA propagates the inherent artistic and aesthetic skills in each student, rather than only the software, which keeps on upgrading from time to time.
Today ZICA, with over 30 centres in more than 15 major cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Lucknow, Chandigarh, Bhubneshwar, Ahmedabad etc. emerges as young India’s chosen partner to turn passion into profession.

I am grateful to ZICA for giving me an opportunity to learn in the best possible way. I have been placed in Popcorn Animation by ZICA as a Character Animator for which I will always remember ZICA and everyone from ZICA.
