"Working for Pixar"

In this article, animator Alex Orrelle talks about his career at Pixar and the steps he took to get there. Born in London and raised in Israel, Orrelle studied at the Academy of Art College in San Francisco. He uses his past experience to make the claim that to get into Pixar you "have to be good.. You have to love animation." Orrelle does a good job at explaining life inside Pixar, but he lacks in explains how exactly he got there. He mostly credited timing to being hired, but doesn't go in depth with his explanation. He concludes with the key to being hired: following and building on the aspect that one is good at in animation. One cannot master every aspect of animation. He stresses this several times. The article was really great way to take a peak inside life at Pixar. It gives guidance to those who are lost in their animation career.  For me, this really encourages me to follow the aspect of animation that I enjoy. This seems to be motion graphics at the moment. This article is a great source of guidance and a bit of inspiration. It is worth a read: http://www.animationarena.com/working-for-pixar.html
