Art Intern - Summer 2021
- Imagine getting a script page with a description of a decrepit old house in the midst of a charming neighborhood. What type of architecture conveys the spooky mood of the house? What colors show its age and what the house once was before all of the decay? What type of lighting will make the audience a little bit nervous while still giving the viewer clarity around where the front door is located? Is the type font on the welcome mat trying to tell us something about what’s about to happen? What does a little girl look like who’s brave enough to knock on the front door but too scared to do so without her hands shaking?
If you think it would be fun and interesting to answer these types of questions with your drawings, then perhaps an internship in the Pixar Art Department is for you! There are four major disciplines within our Art Department. Here are some descriptions to pique your interest:
Character Design: Determines what the characters of our films will look like and explores their personalities
Set Design: Designs the world and environments where our stories take place
Color / Shading / Lighting Design: Explores mood, emotion and character/world textures all through color
Graphic Design: Uses typography and design to add details that bring story and authenticity to our filmsDuring our 12-week Summer Internship, Art Interns will work in collaboration with mentors and the Art Department gaining valuable feature film experience. As an intern, you will do the following:
