How to be an intern at Pixar as an international student?
Hi, I have been searching for a long time if I have any possibility to be accepted as an intern to Pixar. I live in Turkey, graduated from electronics engineering. Now I work as a software R&D engineer at a Turkish TV company. My collage is one of the Turkey's top universities. I have also accepted from another good top university in turkey as a master student. unfortunitely computer graphics lecturer has died at the begining of this term and I decided to take a gap year. I like to draw tooooo much more than developing software. I want to apply pixar internship for "technical director" position. specifications required for this position is includes both engineering and art background. I am told that it is impossible to get in pixar without a paper submitted to SIGGRAPH. To achieve tihs I should study in an american university. I am wondering if I develop myself both in the area of art and science, can I be accepted as an intern? I am working as software engineer, working with C++ and linux. I can get modelling and rendering lessons from a turkish past pixar animator. I can also apply for a master program in a turkish fine arts university. After all, if I manage to prepeare a good demoreel, can I be a competitive candidate? I am an international student, does pixar accept internatioanl students also? what percentage of all accepted candidates is international students? I can apply for working visa in US however I don't know if US gives this visa easily and pixar prefers international students? I really wonder too much. this is my dream, I only want to be an intern there. But everybody asks me that whay pixar should prefer me when there are plenty of qualified US citizen candidates. Do I have any chance? If I have I will plan my two year according to this dream. please somebody help me :(
