ILM came to campus today to recruit for their research and development teams.
They presented an overview of the behind the scenes work that went into the Transformers movie. The combined work of the company was very impressive, but the narrow scope of the individual job descriptions was quite worrying.
Position Available: Virtual City Substrate Effects Engineer. Only the world’s best sidewalk crack designer need apply.
On the other hand, the artist/designer jobs seemed pretty cool. If only I had a 3D portfolio…
Afterwards, we enjoyed free lunch at an upscale Manhattan restaurant. I ordered my favorite fish. Mmmm.
