The following are the technologies under Multimedia courses.

Dubbing Theater

Dubbing, mixing, or re-recording is a post-production process used in filmmaking and video production in which additional or supplementary recordings are “mixed” with original production sound to create the finished soundtrack. The process usually takes place on a dub stage. After sound editors edit and prepare all necessary tracks (dialogue, automated dialogue replacement (ADR), effects, Foley, and music), the dubbing mixer or mixers proceed to balance all of the elements and record the finished soundtrack. 

State-of-the-art technology and world-class engineering and support personnel allow the final re-recording of dialogues, sound effects, and music to take full control over any movie, meaning that tracks of recorded sounds are capable of bringing the plot into a new extraordinary sound space.

COE in Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming and Film Making, it is hoped, will enable us to cement our position as an apex institute of excellence aiming at exceptional applied learning and graduate success. COE will lead in providing skills-based educational programming that integrates theory with application, preparing students for global careers in art foundation, digital and technical fields. Dedicated facilities at Centre of Excellence will have capacity to serve close to 300+ students annually at its state-of-the-art campus.
