More information regarding the internship positions will be posted as soon as possible. Please stay tuned for more details. whee
Is there a deadline?
- The deadline is July 31, though we'll consider any candidate that can work for more than a month under a full time schedule.

What kind of an artist are you looking for?
- We're looking for people who are focused as being an illustrator, animator, 3D artist, sprite artist, or in web design. While we expect all candidates to be proficient with working in computer graphics, there are no specific preference to one program versus another. Animators will be required to animate in flash, and 3D artists will need to know Maya, however. Requirements for artists are a combination of style, design skills and experience so a portfolio is mandatory.

How long do I wait for a reply?
- With the amount of applications we're receiving, we will not be able to respond to everyone. We were able to look through all applications within two weeks after receiving them.
