Pixar Summer Internship 2015

@underwood I totally have! Heidi went to the same school as I did and I totally love everything Minkyu has done. A lot of my own Wicked designs were inspired by his work.

Your artwork is awesome! I’m totally following you on tumblr.

Everyone’s work looks great!

Glad to see everyone’s work! :slight_smile:

It seems we’re in due for a couple more weeks of waiting, then…

Whoo, two weeks almost done! The nerves come and go, which I think is the worst part :laughing:

When are the general weeks that they start contacting people again?

Does anyone know what skills/ experience they are actually looking for in a production intern. I’ve done some minor PA stuff but Ive never done anything with animation :frowning: Production intern sounds so vague…just trying to keep calm these next few weeks :laughing:

I think its safe to say that if we don’t get contacted by the end of the month - chances are we won’t be accepted. There are exceptions, sometimes they have a spot open unexpectedly and then they call the next in line. So there is still is a chance to get a call in April.

Thanks @storyguy. They don’t ever send back “You are no longer in consideration e-mails” right?

Not that I know of. Only rejection letters :frowning:

@storyguy OH! That’s what I meant haha. Thank you so much. I’ve gone over these things so much I wonder how I ever forgot them!

I don’t know if I would necessarily rule yourself out if you don’t hear anything in March. In the past, it would appear that Pixar goes in groups. So, for example: PUP interns are screened, animation, production, and so forth (not necessarily that order, but you get the idea). I know for the 2013 animation internship, for example, someone got an acceptance call in May.

Usually the first round of rejections puts a good idea of where they are (reviewing what intern pool). So more waiting is ahead.

If you’re still waiting to hear from your internships - don’t worry, you’ll hear from Disney/Pixar whether you’re accepted or not. Still doesn’t help the anxiety though :laughing:

@Dore – I think it’s safe to bet that they’re looking for candidates with a production background in features and big title shows, either live action or animated. Being a senior is probably a bonus for hiring managers.

On a separate note completely, anyone hear back from Disney on the professional internships yet?

@Teabat Moved from Submission to In Progress on one of the Disney PI’s. Last year, same internship, had my phone screener the following week during SXSW. Think the deadline was a week earlier though in 2014.

Wow three weeks and still no update!

Anyone here have an update on there profile? If so, what did you apply for?

Hang in there everybody!

I got an update on 3/4 for production, but that’s it.

Does anyone know if they call or email to schedule interviews or inform candidates?

At least it feels like forever…

Everybody ready for WEEK 4?? WOOOO!! LETS DO THIS!!

Im pretty sure they schedule the interviews a few days in advance. I dont know if by phone or email.

Haha lol
Nice meme toystoryshark! Definitely describes how I feel right now!
