As I was
browsing around the Pixar official website yesterday, I noticed that a new
thing-a-ma-bob had been included. Check it out
here:
Beta Careers Site
now has a new beta site for users to apply for a career at their studio! And, if I do say so myself, it looks
pretty spiffy-looking… 
To access this particular link from the main page, follow these directions:
1. Go to Pixar.com.
2. Click on
Company Info in the top right-hand corner of the screen.
3. Select Jobs.
4.
Choose Apply using our Beta Careers Site!.
Kind of interesting, if you would
like to take a peep. There is nothing new concerning Ratatouille though, so don’t
get too excited…yet.
[b]I noticed that a
few days ago, but yeah check it out it’s cool.
Edit: They also have some cool pictures of Pixar’s
Kitchen and what types of cereal’s Pixar employees eat.

Intresting. I like the use of the words “expand our ‘pit crew’”

JV (on the kitchen/cereal thing) - Really? I
didn’t see that! Where did you find it?
The Star Swordsman - Heheh –
yes, as do I. I was internally chuckling at how creative Pixar is and likes to be.
i am SO going to try for an internship once I graduate ( which will be in like
8 years ! : ( ) . oh well , maybe when i’m in my 20’s .

Heh, I checked out their new job thingy a week ago when
one of my friends told me about their recent job postings (and ZOMG there’s an animator position I’m qualified
to apply for, so you’d better believe I’ve sold my soul to the computer science lab until I have a beautiful
demo reel). It’s really nice. Once I get into the nitty gritties of the application process, I’ll decide
whether I like it better than the old interface (which I used to apply for their summer TD internship position
last year, which I actually ended up screwing up the application and probably my chances… eh, lessons learned
the hard way, and I adored the summer job I ended up getting).
Now, back to graphics/animation, which
shall now eat my soul until midnight on Monday. headdesk

gottalovepixar - Good luck
with that. I hope you get the job.
DWH - Heh – hey, well, you live and
you learn. But look on the bright side: As big of a computer whizz you are you should be able to submit a demo
reel in no time…one of these days. Who knows? Perhaps you’ll find yourself underneath a desk at Pixar in the
(hopefully near) future? Don’t give up your ambitions!
I’m gonna try
to get a job over the summer over there. Maybe a little helper or I can work over at the gift store or
something.
Mitch : hee hee lol . i hope pixar is still big by then
.
I just noticed , they really like that cereal huh ? About everybody said something about " The
Great Wall of Cereal " . lol
Pixar will be good for many years to come. They are
still a young company and have only completed 6 great animated films. You won’t have to worry.

I agree with [b]The Star
Swordsman[/b] on this – Pixar is just beginning to leap over the fence. They still have many years to
go, which will (hopefully) be forever…
And yes, they sure do seem to love their cereal. Who
wouldn’t? 
As long as they got incredible people there, and great stories, they will last a long
time.
Interesting, i may
have to check that out. And I especially wanna check out the thing about the cereal!

[b]The Star
Swordsman[/b] - True, indeed. I have never forgotten a quote by John Lasseter on the
Monsters Inc. bonus features disc (on the dvd). He said:
[i]"Story is the most important thing in our films. Always has been; always will be.
That’s what entertains audiences."[/i]
Good ol’ John.
After all, all of the Pixar movies had incredible
stories. I guess the only required component of a wonderful movie is just a great story. As Brad Bird
said,
“The tools are fun to play with. But essentialy, a story goes all the way.”
Or
something like that.
That’s true. Plus all their stories are original. They’re not based on books for fairy
tales…
Actually, fairy tale stories are not bad either. I think all you need is a good story. Fairy
tales are indeed good stories. I think Pixar could do an excellent fairy tale is they decide to tackle it.

The Star Swordsman - I agree – I have no doubt
that Pixar could make something of a fairy tale if they make the decision to face it head-on. Heck, you could
hand them a broomstick and they would be able to make a story out of it.
