Here is a interesting article I found on Pixar

Animator’s work habits:

Hmm…interesting. It’s

nice to occassionally hear recent Pixar news from an employee of the said company every once in a while – they

let us know what is really happening over there at Pixar Animation Studios.

It sure sounds like they (the

animators) have a lot of fun at Pixar. Oh, how I wish I was working there right now… :stuck_out_tongue:

Mitch: Me too. But my animation/drawing/art skills are not as good as most people

here. But I would like to work there. Besides Disneyland/world, Pixar is probably the only place where you can

work and have fun at the same time, or where the work is fun. (you take your pick)

That article was a great read. It was on the short side, but I enjoyed it. :slight_smile: We’ve got all the DVD

documentaries and all about the inner workings of Pixar, but it was really nice to hear it all described from the

point of view of someone who’s a little lower down on the ladder, I guess you might say. Not to put Scanlon

down or anything, but you can’t deny that he’s not one of the company’s big names, so it was fun to see the

company through his eyes instead of, say, Lasseter’s, or Bird’s, or Fleabie’s.

I don’t want to start an

off-topic discussion, but I know that there’s absolutely no way that that can be true. :stuck_out_tongue: Loads of people say

that they have fun at their jobs, and unless professional acting is completely different from acting in school

(which it isn’t), I think I can safely say that I know from my own experience that there’s at least one other

job that counts as fun. :wink:

That was a

great article. It must be amazing to be a Pixar employee, though, as DElf said, it’s not the only job in the

entire world you can have fun doing. Some people could even find working at Pixar to be a nightmare- it depends

on each individual. Though I’d give an arm and a leg to work there, but that’s besides the point. :laughing:
