Rhythm & Hues Studios

Effects Apprentice Program

The R&H Apprentice Program is designed to give participants the opportunity to gain valuable production experience and the chance to work with a talented group of dedicated professionals in a collaborative, energetic environment. This program is designed to identify candidates who may be suitable for entry-level Technical Director positions in our studio.

Projected to start the beginning of February 2007, the Effects Apprentice Program is 3 weeks in duration with the first half consisting of training, second half on a simulated production, and ending with an evaluation. You will work with our best artists and supervisors to learn how we create images through a combination of formal classroom instruction and informal collaboration. You will be using Houdini as well as in-house simulation and rendering tools. While some participants may be extended as long-term freelance artists after evaluation, participation in the R&H Apprentice Program does not guarantee employment within the company. This is a paid apprentice program. Housing is supplied for out of town apprentices.

I suppose this is only open to US citizens/permanent residents (and perhaps other people who in general would not need a visa to come to the US).

Reel is on its way!
