Founder Word's
NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ANIMATION, TECHNOLOGY & FASHION DESIGN was established by me, Mr. Vishal Prakash Patil, in 2019. With 18 years of extensive experience in the Indian film and media industry, I have held the position of Senior Promo Producer at TIMES TELEVISION NETWORK - BCCL, where I contributed to renowned news channels such as TIMES NOW, ET NOW, and MIRROR NOW. My expertise also includes working as a VFX and Motion graphic artist for leading global VFX production companies, including PRIME FOCUS TECHNOLOGIES, DISNEY’s and STAR TELEVISION NETWORK. I have been involved in both pre-production and post-production for notable television commercials, including “SHAKTI PUMPS” featuring the legendary Shri Amitabh Bachchan, as well as a commercial for “SILVER COIN TRADITIONAL CHAKKI ATTA” with Mrs. Hema Malini. Additionally, I have served as an Assistant Film Director on various Marathi and Hindi films, among other projects.
