As a Technical Animation Intern, you may come from backgrounds in Art, Animation, Engineering, or Computer Science, but you should have a passion for, and comfort with, tackling artistic and technical challenges.

• Knowledge of animation packages, such as Maya or MotionBuilder.
• Some scripting/programming experience is a plus (in a language like Python).

We are only considering students who will be enrolled in an accredited degree program in the summer of 2025, slated to graduate no earlier than December 2025.
